What is the net.consensus on the Beretta 21A, which uses the .22 LR round?

	[MODERATOR:  Just the thing to have if you can't carry a real gun ...]

I've been eyeing this baby for a short time and want to hear the pros and
cons from any of you who have had any meaningful experience or exposure to
this weapon.

My local dealer is asking $199 new.

Please e-mail replies and I'll post a summary here.  Thanks in advance.

[MODERATOR:  Silliness aside, I have found that the smaller firearms are
actually quite a bit more difficult to operate.   For example, I once saw
a tiny, cute .25 semi that had a grip safety on it.  By the time I got it
in my hand to feel comfortable, the safety was not depressed. To depress 
the safety, I had to contort the grip.  Bleck.  Still, I'd like one of the
little Berettas just to satisfy my curiosity.  Have to come after my wife
get's her Win. 52 though...]
