I have had these little Berettas for decades. To me, they are one of the most useful, safe, and well designed pistols for every day real life. Bands of ninjas are not lurking everywhere. No one wants extra holes in their body. No one hangs around to ask you what you are shooting them with. I would not dry fire them, as their firing pins can break if you do that a lot . They are easily replaced, but if you don’t dry fire them, they never break. Thanks for the video.

100%. A lot of people poo poo the .32 ACP and call it useless and ineffective. At The same time however, none of these detractors are ever willing to test their theory by volunteering to get shot by one.

Is .32 enough? Watch the Ronald Reagan assassination attempt by John Hinkley. He used a snubnosee .22 revolver and took-out a Washington Police Officer, a Secret Service Agent and James Brady. The payoff with the .32 acp Tomcat is follow-up shots on target. It has almost no recall or muzzle flip. You can empty the magazing into a hand sized grouping in 2 seconds from 7 yards. It would take months of training to confidently do that with a single stack 9mm if you could achieve it at all.

I picked up the Tomcat Covert (threaded barrel) in FDE. I love the way it looks and feels in the hand. After getting it home and cleaning it, I started to do some dry firing and working the action (with snap caps). I instantly regretted the purchase. The trigger was horrible and the DA pull felt like 100 pounds. I figured there was no way this pistol would be accurate or reliable. I decided to flip this pistol, as it’s a pretty desirable pistol as far as demand. However, I decided to at least try shooting it first. Holy cow… was I wrong. The first magazine shot right to point of aim and a tight group. The heavy trigger pull didn’t seem to be an issue. And not a single jam out of a couple hundred rounds. It’s now a favorite. And I make sure to not run hot ammo through it. When my 9mm suppressor gets out of jail, I’ll be trying it out on the Tomcat. Thanks for the review! P.S. One real complaint on Beretta… for the cost of these pistols, Beretta should have included more than one magazine in the box.

I have seen 2 TOMCATS for sale in the past 20 years, One was today at the pawn shop IN the box, a pocket holster extra mag 369.00 (8 boxes of pmc ammo 200.00) -I i have a 1903 colt pocket in 32, so I have dies and a few hundred other rounds already. I was surprised it can ONLY take 130 ft pounds of energy.

Been researching reviews ahead before buying the stainless Tomcat, this is so far the most thorough review. Excellent job. Thank you.

Man, I forgot how much I liked your style. Excellent humor, visuals and music selection. Keep doing you! I've got a chance to trade into a tomcat, and appreciate the perspective you have

The ammo threshold is NOT 160 foot/pounds. The manual supplement says not to use ammunition with a muzzle energy greater than 130 foot/pounds!

Boomer here. Enjoyed the review. LOL'd heartily in all the appropriate, and a few inappropriate, places. Been carrying a Beretta 21A for years, and have considered the Tomcat as a step up for jogging, etc. Good to hear Beretta beefed it up a bit after the early reports of cracking. Now I just gotta decide between this and the generic LCP thing. Probably gonna depend on ammo availability, although I doubt I'll shoot much of anything once I find a reliable brand. Never change, keep doing you.

I just ordered this gun. Can you tell me which ammo worked best?

Any opinions whether the Tomcat is easier to shoot accurately than the P32? Google gives the weight (I assume unloaded) for the Tomcat as 14.5 oz vs 6.6 oz. for the P32. Am I right the recoil would therefore be quite a bit softer for the Tomcat?

Does the inox model accept the threaded barrel of the new tomcat covert?

First time watching you and thank you and will definitely watch your videos

This is the review that I could've used before my purchase. Totally satisfied with my recent purchase but just wish I would've seen this

Great gun because it has many unique features such as tip-up barrel, slide springs down behind the grips, mag release where my thumb will not accidentally push it, enough mass to tame recoil, virtually impossible to put out of battery when pressed against a target, will fire without a magazine, super easy to field strip and/or clean, DA makes for a safe carry with one in the chamber (the safety is probably not necessary, but at least works well). The only problem is that with the first shot DA and the follow ups SA it is very easy to rip off two shots when only one was intended; however, lets train that into a double tap, which could somewhat make up for the lower stopping power of .32 ACP. I like how fat it is and it has a perfect trigger reach for my big hands, even beats the Kel Tec P32 on that point. BTW, the card that came with my Tomcat which I got new recently, says not to use greater than 71 grain ammo and nothing with more than 130 ft-pounds at the muzzle. I had mine to the range once and it ran 32 rounds of PPU FMJ perfectly!

I pocket a tomcat covert now. Love the thing. Having an 07/02, hopefully by then end of the week I'll be able to test it with a fatty wiper can I designed just for funzies. Seriously though. The tomcat is a great gun and has been for a long time. 32acp is enough for carry, don't care what anyone says. Glad to see a down to earth, real review of the gun.

But on the plus side, unsuppressed it won't blow out and ear drum from a single mag dump. Just a little lingering ring. Trigger was gritty on arrival but smoothed out fast.

Wolfy based on what I know of the Tomcat I would not dry fire it with or without snap caps. Even Beretta's suggestion to dry fire with a spent casing doesn't sound good. I don't think you need to dry fire this type of pistol to become proficient with it as it is intended for very short ranges and more point and shoot situations. Just practice draw and aim without trigger pull would be my advice. To keep the pistol functioning as designed I would not dry fire in any method. Hope this helps.

I own a beretta .25 950. BS Jetfire.. I used to carry daily and I put a lot of time in at the range with it. Like the tomcat it does not have a ejector..BUT with the center fire rounds if you got a dud just hit the pop-up barrel lever the barrel will flip the round right out the chamber.. quickly snap the barrel back down into place and rack the slide that's how you clear these guns

The 32 ACP is one of the most underrated rounds out there.. I own a Kel-Tec p32 gen 1 .. extremely reliable and accurate.. I installed anti rim lock kits in the magazines so I can carry Hornady xtp hollow points... Beretta tomcat is the only 32 to my knowledge being manufactured nowadays.. it's a shame because this round is great for someone who wants a small lightweight pocket pistol but can't handle the recoil of a 380.. 32 ammo is now expensive...

Terry's 32 acp colt with 50 rds and an old 76 impala windshield. So we took turns shooting through the glass hitting the head rest. It eat up the head rest with no problem going through the windshield. It was a military round since it was invented and has enough power for anyone and follow up shots are super fast.

Just realized it's one of the very few if not the only style pistol. You can unload it by flipping a lever.

You still working this gun? Would love an update

I had an older one that the grips kept coming loose and pinching me. Maybe I'll give these another look.

That would've driven me crazy.

I was cleaning one for a coworker. I squeezed the trigger, with the grips removed, and a small spring went flying. We couldn't get the spring back in, had to take it to a gunsmith.

Makes a video on a metal pocket pistol made for Boomers. Gets surprised his video attracts Boomers that get big mad at you. Profit? Never change Penguin.

I think I'm stuck this way.

What's with the intro reminds me of something from The Last of Us Part II. My father bought one of these brand new in 1997. Never been fired to my knowledge. It's a nice pistol irregardless of the "cracking issue" even though I have never fired it it feels extremely well built and has a great fit and finish. Having field stripping the weapon the newer version has changed besides the change in the safety the slide is much chunkier than the original.

I had 2 I gave one to my uncle and one to my aunt only issue was a broken firing pin on one of the two. I switched to the original seecamps one for me and one for the wife. I picked up 3 of the 81 b 81 and a 81bb when they were around 250 now thats a 32 beretta can be proud of in my opinion no recoil same hole accuracy but certainly not a pocket pistol. great guns to start someone out to teach shooting.

Lmao. the amount of times this guy digresses. Goes off the rail. I forgot what video I was watching at one point. I love it.
