Beretta .32 Tomcat

rjc · May 2009

I am contemplating the purchase of a Beretta Tomcat. I have heard of some problems with these in the past. I would like to hear from any of you who have had experiences with these guns, good or bad. Thanks.

Can someone tell me the differences between the INOX stainless Tomcat and a blued Tomcat? Why will the Crimson Trace grips only fit the blued model? Does anyone that owns one of these have any comments about it, good or bad? Thanks.

I would post to the Beretta forum at this link, if none of our folks can help you.

Never owned or shot a TomCat. Durability is suspect? You might investigate the KelTec .32 or .380 vest pocket pistols, as a viable alternative.

I've got one took it in trade. Been carrying it as I can shove it in a pocket and not worry about printing. No problems with it. In the hot weather it's kind of nice. At least I have a gun on my person.

Greetings from the West Indies, Randall!

I've owned a blued Tomcat.

They are notorious for frame failures:

As I understand, such is not the problem with their stainless model.

I have one of the Alley Cats Beretta put out. Have had no problems after about 500rds through it so far.

I've had a blue TomCat for many years.

It is always with me.

I have been happy with it.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm still up in the air about the Tomcat. A local shop has a new INOX version with a really good price. Looking for something to put in my pants pocket during hot weather that won't print. The link to the Beretta forum was really helpful.
