The Beretta 3032 Tomcat and Beretta 3032 Tomcat Inox are semi-automatic pocket pistols designed and manufactured by Beretta. They are chambered in .32 ACP (a.k.a. 7.65 mm Browning) and are small pistols, designed for concealed-carry and use as backup weapons. The Beretta 3032 Tomcat builds on a long line of small and compact pocket pistols for self defense manufactured by Beretta.[2] The allure and popularity is commonly attributed to the loading procedure, which does not require the user to 'rack' the slide to chamber a round, but rather place a round in the tip-up barrel before the magazine is inserted. This is especially popular for those with weaker or smaller hands.

Specifications[edit]

The Beretta 3032 Tomcat is a simple blowback pistol with a single- and double-action trigger mechanism.[3] It also features a tip-up barrel.[3] It is fitted with a frame-mounted thumb safety. This safety acts as a slide stop when engaged. The frame is made out of aluminiumalloy while the slide and barrel are carbon steel in the standard version or stainless steel in the 'Inox' variant.

Como descargar mozilla firefox gratis. A document included with all Model 3032 Tomcat pistols warns that the owner should never use ANY ammunition that exceeds 130 ft⋅lbf (176 J) muzzle energy. Notably, even normal factory .32 ACP cartridges have become significantly more powerful in recent decades, and can well exceed the 130 ft-lb limit of the pistol. Representatives of Beretta USA have often recommended that owners purchase their .32 ACP ammunition online, so that the muzzle energy is properly verified in specification charts. Use of any ammunition that exceeds this rating may cause irreparable damage to the firearm, most commonly manifesting itself as a crack on the frame. However, contrary to common belief, this is not considered a defect in factory materials, but a problem caused by ammunition and neglect of the factory parameters. [4]

Variants[edit]

It is available in an 'Inox' variant, with stainless steel barrel and slide and the frame anodized to look the same.[5] For a short time a titanium model was also available.[3] There was also a Tomcat Tritium version with tritium night sights called the 'Alley Cat'.[5]

Beretta 3032 Tomcat Frame Problems

Here is the word from Beretta customer support:
http://berettausa.custhelp.com/app/a..etail/a_id/676
The Model 3032 Tomcat was designed to chamber and fire ammunition sold under the designation of 32 Automatic or 32 ACP from any manufacturer meeting SAAMI or CIP specifications. The manual states not to use 32 Winchester which is an older designation for a revolver cartridge also known as the 32-20. The use of Winchester branded 32 Automatic or Winchester 32 ACP is acceptable in the Tomcat. Additionally, with the introduction of many new high performance loads for the 32 automatic/32 ACP, we recommend that the designated ammunition should not exceed 130 foot pounds of muzzle energy. The muzzle energy information is usually located on the ammunition box or is available from the ammunition manufacturer. If ammunition exceeding this specification must be used it should be fired on a limited basis only, excessive use may shorten the service life of the pistol's components.

PMC, the ammo my LGS sells as their range ammo comes in at 126 ft lbs.
My Tomcat does not have a cracked frame, so we shall see..
