I would suggest the 25 ACP as a first choice but nothing wrong with the 22 LR either.
The Beretta 21A (Bobcat) Inox — my new BUG.

Don't trust the factory mags or the MecGar branded on that one. You can't load the mags to capacity and the top round likes to hit the front of the magazine instead of chambering. I've had over 30 years of experience with that gun.
The jam-o-matic Bobcat, was due mostly, to the nose of the round, pointing up, and hitting the top of the chamber.
Cure was to squeeze the lips of the mag, at the front, a wee bit, so the round entered the chamber, at the correct angle.
Spoke with Beretta, about 15 years ago, about the problem, and sent the gun and mag to them, to see the issue.
Supposedly they addressed that issue.
I bought two more, once the first gun was returned.
Another blued one and an Inox, for my boy.
Always fun, with one in each hand, firing at a target, as fast as you can, and counting the hits, on a B27.
The only downside, is the reliability of 22LR ammo.
CCI mini-mags, 40gr solids, is my choice, for carry, so I bought a Ruger LCP, for around the house chores/lawn, but carry a post recall, S&Walther PPKs/380, after spotting a mangy Yote, 30 yards away. Easy shot SA, with the PPKs.
