Beretta Tomcat 32acp Pistol 

I've had mine for about 13 years, and it is a very comfortable gun to carry, When people say awe that wont stop a criminal or thief,,, We'll so far nobody has volunteered to let me practice on them and find out what happens, So Until then, great Vid and great information on the Tomcat 30-32

I’ve got a Tomcat and love it! Wide slide..no cracks yet! I bought some after market ivory grips and screwed up the installation...Gun was then inoperable! I called Beretta and they said to send it to them. They reassembled the lil thing correctly and even installed my ivory grips! Test fired it and shipped it back to me. No charge! They even paid the return shipping. Great customer service from Beretta!

Love my Tomcat & Beretta !! Purchased mine in 2000. In 2011 a crack developed similar to what you mention in your video at the 8:40 mark. I contacted Beretta. They asked me to send the gun to them for repair. Beretta contacted me and said the crack was a manufacturing flaw and they sent me a brand new Tomcat after 11 Years !! No questions asked !!! Additionally, be sure your choice of ammo for the Tomcat has a Muzzle Energy of 130 ft lbs or less as per Beretta, or the gun may develop premature wear. Thanks scotch00.

Just wanted to come back and say "thank you". I've been looking for a Tom Cat for months. Finally found a used one at a gun show for only $300. It looked pretty beat up, but I was thinking about going for it anyway. But then I looked inside and saw that stress point on the frame EXACTLY where you pointed it out. You saved me $300. Thanks!

BY FAR one of the best reviews Ive found for this gun on RU-vid. Thank you.

I bought the Tomcat about 15 years ago. It was stolen about 12 years ago. The Police came to my door a couple weeks ago to tell me they had found my gun. Can't wait to get it back. They have to test it for fingerprints and fire it to make sure it hasn't been in any crimes. The gun was found in a closet during a drug arrest.

I had a little 25 and believe me, I CAN stop anyone that needs to be stopped. I simply loved that little gun. I am a large man, but I would not want to stand on the receiving end of those 25 cal. bullets. Nice down to fact video, thank you

I absolutely love the 32 acp.

The company has been around since the 1500s.. The pop up barrel makes it easy to load and the double action makes it very safe to carry. The newer models have a great round front sight. You NEVER have to pull back the slide but it's ready to fire!

Love my Tomcat. It is my favorite BUG!

I really love this pistol. Idk I think what I love so much is how small and concealable it is, and that tip up barrel. Great video as usual.

Thanks. Got the 25 as backup for my G19. Glad to see you kept that cat!!!!

Wonderful little gun to shoot. Feels great in the hand. Great for concealed carry as a pocket gun. Lightweight & reliable. Pop up barrel is very convenient. Mine came with the laser hand grips. Helpful, since sights are so small.

I don't know the experience of others...but the .22 'short' Beretta I had was extremely accurate! I could shoot the 'lit-end' of a cigarette at 15-feet with that 'short-round'...incredible!

I really love your reviews- you address your audience as intelligent subscribers. I thought I would just check this pistol out but you offered so much useful info I actually became interested in this model. Great job!

This is a neat little gun, very compact and the tip up barrel is useful. However beware of the frame cracking problem - use the lower powered ammo and try to prevent the slide from going home on an empty chamber (i count my shots to 5 then reload). Also, NEVER dry fire - more then any other pistol I know (i have 12 of em) the firing pin WILL break (even while using a snap cap). The firing pin is not hard to change, but, i can tell you if you like to dry fire you'll be changing it faster then you'd like.

The engineering that goes into these guns is simply amazing! There's quite a bit to this Tomcat gun! Ordering mine at a pawnshop!

One of the best reviews of any gun that I've seen. Informative, interesting, and relatively concise. I'll probably purchase this gun due to this review.

Great review. Thank you for taking the time to review , video , edit , and upload this product review. David

damn good reveiw thank you. for her 72nd bday my mother got her CC. she couldnt slide Ruger 380 we got her. this is perfect

For some reason I like this little gun so much!

Wow, that top up barrels are really ingenious!

The Tomcat is a great pocket pistol. I had one for years, but presented it to a nephew upon his graduation from Police Academy. He had a choice of any of my smaller handguns, including .380ACP and .40S&W, but chose the 3032 as his preference. It was an older model with the thinner slide, and blue/black finish. Have been thinking about replacing it with a new one. Most informative video, ...thanks.

These are fine little pistols, I have over 1000 rounds through my inox version, no failure of any kind, and no stress to the frame. Highly recommended.

Always kinda wanted one of these for a secondary pocket gun. Probably an Inox one. My now ex wife had a 21A in 22 LR. 2020-odd years ago i remember rolling a soda can consistently at about 20 yards. So the accuracy is there. The 32 is not the first choice for primary defense, but it certainly has its uses.

Got the .25 and .32 and it's money well spent. Keep your eyes open for a deal and when you see it don't be afraid to "Pull The Trigger!"

One of my favorite guns. Ultra concealable.

We can’t pistol shoot in England anymore and I really miss it. Your channel is the next best thing, very informative and interesting. All the best...

See some of these in our CWP classes. They do very well. Excellent with the flip up barrel for students that have a hard time racking it.

It's a beautiful little gun that gives me no problems. I have one made in 2014, with the beefed up steel slide. I like the weight. I have 3 1911's, but who wants to tote a howitzer around? 7 rounds of hollow point ammo from this little piece will definitely ruin anyone's day. About half the weight of my Makarov, and 1/3 the weight of my 1911's.

I like this guy Sooch00! I was a broadcast editor and I don't mind his editing one bit. Very smooth. He is knowledgeable and gives us a lot of information while remaining natural and "off script". Plus I like this Tomcat.

We'll done - thanks for this post. Next on my "to buy" list.

Nice little pistol. The pop up barrel makes me smile everytime it opens :)

Hey! Bravo! Nice review and video! I'm a fan of this little piece as well as the 21a model. (25 ACP) Just wanted to say thanks for doing this. I own several Berettas and I'm glad you showed the beauty of the Tomcat. Thanks man.

Oct 2021...a great reference video. Showing this to my daughter as we shop for guns for her. (Dad will be procuring one for himself, too; a great backup pistol!) Thanks for all you do to give us info/feedback on the items you show. Stay safe.

This will be my choice for my first pistol for concealed carry.Thank you!

Been carrying this little gem for 8 yrs now one of my favorite ccw backup guns thanks for a stellar review as always Sootch👍

My first pocket pistol when I delivered pizzas in Chicago only pulled it once never fired still with me

Just purchased a couple of these, a Blued one and an Inox. Took them to the range and totally thrilled with them. Only thing is they do work the trigger finger after about 50 rounds. They were both pretty darn accurate. Any lack of accuracy I believe was me and not the gun. The DOM on both is 2007. No cracks on the sides groves and lands were in great shape. Both were obviously used, the blued one was nice and clean throughout, the Inox was filthy but cleaned up really good. I am happy with both.

Your mouse gun reviews are the best in the game!

I'm going to get one of those. It would make a great C&C gun to carry in your pocket.

I have this gun, it fits well as it is very small. I find it highly accurate when target practicing. I am very happy with this model. :) I can carry it in the smallest of purses. No one ever thinks there is a gun in there. I like that it has a safety. I know all the guys will wrinkle their noses at this but most women ( not all) carry their guns in their purses.

the look of determination on your face when you were firing in slow motion...

Love my tomcat. So much bought a mint model 81. Carry .32acp primarily.

Its so cute it should come in cereal boxes.

It's verry good! This gun, is beatiful... I like this!

THERE IS NO OTHER GUN LIKE BERETTA, BERETTA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND RELIABLE GUN. I LOVE BERETTA'S GUN, THE 25 LOOKS AWESOME

I'm glad you like Beretta's guns! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹❤️

Nice handgun. VERY reliable with the right ammunition. Never had any jams or misfeeds using a rounded bullet shape. Beware of any semi-wadcutter rounds. Winchester was (and may still be) making a 50 round boxes that has changed from a rounded bullet shape. Same weight. Same box. Even Winchester's website did not recognize that production run. Don't use a round that is less than round for any purpose. Jams. Jams. Jams. (Hollow points have fed without issue though, including Winchester.) Slide is unwieldy to rack. Very stiff and the frame is so small that it's hard to get both hands on the weapon. Safety is well positioned and easy to flick. Feels very secure after 10+ years. Barrel is short which makes effective range limited (for me) with a moving target at about 7 yards. Trigger pull is very short and abrupt when cocked. Very long pull as DA. Out of the box, the trigger is the only thing that one might look to adjust. Sights are great profile for pocket pistol, but are otherwise mediocre. Glad I purchased the Tomcat.

Had an 03 Colt pocket in .32 a.c.p loved it. Carried it for year's and put a few deer + black bear, out if their misery with it and did the job nicely with 71 gr f.m.j.'s! I never had to use it in a self defense situation but, as accurate as it was, it would have did the job. I am sure! As would a .380 a.c.p.!!

I think of all the gun channels Your the most professional 👍🏼

I've got the 25 auto like this that I bought in a drug store in Abilene TX in 1983. Great little gun.!

I carry the tomcat inox, love that little gun:) great video thanks a lot!

I have the stainless with the fat slide.......love it. I have noticed that most of us buy a gun for self protection/ c.carry that is too big and too heavy and we end up leaving it at home or in the car. sure that 40 cal will stop a bad guy.....if you have it on you. The tomcat fits easy in any pocket and I am sure that if I put 6-7 rounds in the attacker's guts, he WILL back off. I use the Hornady critical defense and they are awesome, the possum I shot off my trash can looked as if he had been sliced open with a chainsaw. any instructor will tell you....most defense shootings happen within a few feet.

I collect them all ... great vid as usual and still can't thank you enough for this superb channel

Like all Berettas, beautiful engineering.

You make really good videos!

Love the music

I have looked at this gun several times. I think it's cool and I love Beretta as well.

I inherited my blued Tomcat from a deceased relative who had purchased it brand new in 2000. It didn't even make it 30 rounds into a 50 round box of Winchester white box ammo before the frame cracked and the barrel spring went flying. It was set aside at that point and never fired again. When I received it in 2018, I thought that I'd have no problems with Beretta warranting it, since I always thought they stood behind their firearms. WRONG. The best deal they offered to me, since it was not under warranty, was $420 for a new version and they would also keep my broken pistol. Beretta is permanently off my list of good manufacturers to buy from. For LIFE.

Of note a similar .32 Cal weapon was used to kill Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (and his wife) and started WW1, which led to WW2 .. .32 Cal is definitely lethal at self defense range.

The design of the Beretta Tomcat in .32 ACP has a distinct advantage over, for example, the Walther PPK/S in .32 ACP in that the Walther's slide tension is so strong, most females cannot rack the slide; with the Beretta, there's no need to... Also, the .32 ACP is not necessarily under-powered for personal defense. It's all about hitting 'center mass' at close range anyway.

My INOX 3032 model has a very smooth trigger; amazingly, the best DA I've ever shot.

Beretta tomcat ... it's a masterpiece weapon, so beauty ,so mini ,so effiecient.

I'd like to see a Beretta Hepcat - the same basic design with a 1" longer barrel chambered in 380 with 8+1 capacity. I think that would be a fantastic concealed carry gun.

.32 caliber is more than enough to stop an attacker unless it is The Hulk. Carried this for years. If you can hit what you aim at it will stop it. Way too many people over concerned about is it big enough in way too many ways.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I love this 32, and enjoy going to the range. This is a great video. Perfect for me to carry every day. Very informative.

love Beretta and from now on I,m a Beretta brother for life dig it baby yeah 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉.

Love your credo - Be Strong. Be of Good Courage. God Bless America. Long Live The Republic. 🇺🇸

This would go nice with my Seecamp!

I love this I have a Bobcat in 22lr! Great video thanks!!

Great review. Thank you.

Shoot a few rounds of Fiochi ball ammo 7.65 browning (same as 32 acp) into ballistics gel, at point blank range, and I think you will be surprised. Ball ammo is best for penetration in a 32 or 380.

I am in the old fart category and I greatly enjoy watching your interesting video's. I always learn something new! thank you and keep up the great work....

LOVE your videos, keep it up! I watch the Ruger Blackhawk 44 over and over, love you hat, and "Howdy Mam"!!

Gostei muito da BERETTA 32 ACP linda arminha. TOP DE MAIS DA CONTA.

I love this weapon, the 32 ACP packs a bigger punch then the 22, or 25.

I loved my Bobcat, but let it go because the penetration even with a hyper-velocity round was less than impressive because of the small barrel. Now the Tomcat is looking pretty interesting! Would be interested to see a ballistics gel test with this gun. Too bad the Tomcat is hard to find now.

Tu programa/ videos , los vemos en toda América latina. Los subtitulos son escencial para la comprensión.

Very informative. Thanks for sharing. You make great videos. God Bless :)

I laughed at the casings falling from the sky onto the pistol.

I gotta tell u, out off all the utbe vid's I watch u an hickock 45 are my fav's. u are both down to earth and u tell it like it is. please do a video on the seacamp .32 thanks,

Sootch00, nice review of a fun little gun. I really enjoy your reviews of these guns, because few other channels will give them the time of day. I, for one, think they have their place and should not be dismissed out of hand.

Good solid informative review from a Great Channel Thanks Pard

pull the hammer back first before pulling the slide back will reduce the force required to pull it back quite a bit.

I sometimes carry a kel-tec p32 with buffalo bore +p flat nose

Pocket pistol to the extreme. Great intro song

This gun wins big with its own character, its a unique little cat

Nice little gun, but I'll stick with my Kel Tec P-32.

I have a sincere and serious question. Why would a caliber that was adequate for self defense in the past no longer be adequate for self defense today?

Love this pistol.

Beautiful gun!

Top Cat....does anyone remember Officer Dibble?

Waiting for this style to come out in 380

i have the beretta .22 , .25 , & .32 , all excellent pocket pistols! , practice often, carry daily!!! ;)

always liked this pistol.

32 is a great caliber but one problem I've found is that ammo is extremely hard to find nowadays.

I know this is over 4 yrs. old. My Wife carries a Tomcat because of Carpal Tunnel, can't rack a small slide. Let's not forget that the .32acp rd. killed the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand and His Wife Sofie which started WWI. Also for decades it was the most prolific Police caliber across Western Europe. And German Officers that chose the the smaller pistols over the Luger and P-38's.

Excellent product's & quality Extraordinary firing CONGRATULATIONS

Very good review. Thanks
