.32 ACP Beretta Tomcat vs Ceramic Tile

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

I have a S&W 32 revolver that was handed down to me from my grandpa. He bought it back in like in the 1920's or maybe the 1930's. He used it to shoot rattler and copperhead snakes with it when he was growing up on my great grandpa cow and milk farm in western Pennsylvania. And back then there was no kinds of background checks or nothing like that to buy any kind of a gun. Glad to see the 32 is kind of making a comeback.

[@BangBangBo]

I bought this for my sister as her first and possibly only handgun. This is a great short video for her to watch and understand its limitations. Thanks a bunch!

[@nwmonk3105]

World Wars were started and stopped with a 32 ACP. So I laugh at ppl who say it's insignificant.

[@Narsuitus]

You are thinking of which 32 ACP? Gavrilo Princip used a .380 caliber pistol to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand at the start of World War I. Adolf Hitler used a 7.65mm Walther PPK to commit suicide at the end of War II.

[@alexgottmituns7049]

Well, two ceramic tiles are much more that a single plate glass window! Nice gun

[@taofledermaus]

It's bad luck to loan a chronograph to a friend or family. It will come back with a bullet hole 9 times out of 10.

Fiocci FMJ made it though 2 and dented the third. Military 130gr FMJ .38 Special from a 4” S&W Victory model made it into the 2nd barrel and dented the back wall.

What a .32acp will truly do can really only be done with “full size” .32’s like the Walther PP, and Colt 1903. The Tomcat, Seecamp,and Kel-Tec mini Pistols just don’t get the most out of it.

[@Fudmottin]

What about the PPK? Bond, James Bond was forced to switch to that from the Beretta 950 in "Dr. No". Of course he could have returned to regular duties and lost his 00 number instead.

[@aaronfriedmann2488]

The Beretta Tomcat is superior and at the end it comes down to what you can deliver onto your target. This round is meant to be for close combat.

[@OOICU812]

@@aaronfriedmann2488 yeah, it's a "get outta my face" round.

[@atklm1]

Where's the chart you were going to put up?

[@tubedude54]

Since not many people are made out of ceramic wouldn't shooting ballistic gel be a better indicator of it's penetration??

[@buffalosoutdoors]

This is just a demonstration to compare how different calibers perform in the same medium, in this case tile. It's a series, not a one off video. It is certainly not in any way representative of flesh and bone. I think for that type of testing the Paul Harrell "meat target" is one of the best.

[@tubedude54]

Understood! Thank you for the reply. I just got a Tomcat a few months ago and have had it to the range only one time and couldn't hit a thing lol! I'm blaming it right now on my 2 finger grip.. I have a big hand! I got some grip extenders for the magazines and they allow my pinky finger to grip the gun now and it feels very good and solid in my hand. Hope to get to the range when it warms up. Was -13F the other night!! Yikes!

I'm not sure if it was tile videos or beer videos but you tested a 305 grain buffalo bore 44 magnum round. I think you did it out of a revolver and out of a carbine in two seperate videos.. I've often heard that a slower bullet will penetrate more deeply and would love to see that comparison. Thanks for your great videos!

I would like to see the difference between our factory loaded .32acp ammo and European .32acp ammo which is considerably faster and harder hitting. Say maybe Fiocchi or S&B for example against Winchester or Hornady. My handloads are a big improvement over domestic factory offerings.

Probably is tomcat isn’t suppose to shoot hot rounds like thay

[@johnbarrett7534]

[@gamalat122]

I'm listening to a man who can't stop talking

[@TrpleAgnt2011]

who dat ?

[@libertymurf281]

The longer the barrel, the greater the velocity & energy, regardless of the origin of the round. Fiocchi "Shooting Dynamics" 32 ACP / 7.65 Browning 73 Grain FMJ has the greatest Velocity & Energy at the cheapest price. In other words it is the most "Economical" round mass produced & available to the public. Having said that, Underwood Ammo uses a Lehigh Defense "Xtreme Cavitator" fluted solid copper bullet that is a 50 Grain 32 ACP round with amazing results... The Underwood "Xtreme Cavitator" 32 Auto actually meets the FBI Protocols for any Self-Defense round, making it the 1st 32 ACP round to ever do so!!! Get a Zastava M70 Surplus 32 ACP Pistol & a Kel-Tec P32 & load them with Underwood "Xtreme Cavitator" 50 Grain SUPERIOR HIGH PERFORMANCE AMMUNITION & then compare & contrast the results... EDC a Kel-Tec P32 filled w/ Underwood Xtreme Cavitator 7+1 & it weighs less than 10 ounces, it sits in a pocket holster that is light, comfortable, & nobody will ever know it's there, including the person doing the EDC. At 25 yards it's a breeze to place all 8 rounds into Center Mass & it will penetrate hard barriers, go through glass, a car door, & lots of clothing. It is perfection! Oh & by the way, did you use one of the worst 32 Auto rounds on purpose for this biased test?#Make32GreatAgain
