Quote HistoryQuoted: I went with a TacSol Aeris to pair with my Axiom. I have a Aeries its a good can. The 21A while cool is a loud rimfire host unless you are running a slide lock and wet micro can. |

I’ve looked through the internet for a few days on/off… who does the slide lock modification? I don’t really plan on using the safety, so locking the slide would be a beneficial thing, as I bought my Covert mainly for a suppressor host. |

Occulus.
The ability to shorten the can is a big deal for practical applications, given how tiny the 21A is. With a full length can, I wouldn't call it "loud" at all. It's more a matter of other hosts like the Ruger being really really quiet. |

Best I can remember is take off the grip. Remove safety and grind off a hook that keeps the trigger from being pulled. |

Here is a vid of someone (I think a member here) showing his GSL Pill Box can and his ARMTAC modified 21a  Failed To Load Title Now here is a guy who tried to do his own slide-lock and apparently it broke. He does not go into a lot of detail so I do not think it would help a lot unless you have the skills to understand what he did which is not me.  Beretta 21a slide lock mod In this short vid he talks about how it broke and how he is going back to factory  Beretta 21A slide lock update (don’t do it) ETA If you find a contact # or email for Jeb please post it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: who does the slide lock modification? Not really the best gun for a slide lock. Keep in mind the 21A does not have an extractor. So if you fire with a slide lock, you then have to either pop the barrel or hold the slide back with one hand while picking the case out of the chamber with your fingernail. |

The 21 isn't very hot for suppressors. There also is no upper limiting lip geometry in the magazine, so it's common for suppressor blowback to lift the rounds vertical in the magazine, causing malfunctions. The Italians obviously wanted to build a not very reliable gun when they built it with no extractor, and no forward control of round feeding attitude. It's too bad. It would be a much cooler gun with controlled feed attitude like better .22lr pistols, and an extractor like every other rimfire gun I can think of. |

Second round went vertical. First time I have ever seen that type of malf. BTW, Miller High Life seems to work okay as an ablative.  |

I bet it would vary from sample to sample, but my 21A is noticeably more reliable with a can on. In fact I don't think I've ever had a malfunction with a can on it, in a couple thousand rounds, probably because I keep it clean and a typical range trip's worth of ammo isn't enough to foul it enough to overcome the added backpressure.
If you shoot it enough to get a ring of fouling in the chamber, it will definitely choke at some point. .25 bronze brush is a must have range item. |
