I have a Beretta Tomcat in 32 I've had for years and it generally works great. I just recently picked up the .22 FDE version and .32 version from Copper Custom and I was having a blast with my Beretta 21A Bobcat in .22 and Beretta Flat Dark Earth Tomcat in 32 acp with silencers. That is, until I broke one! Darn it!

It cut me deep to see him beat the magazine into that Bobcat. I own both these guns. The magazine accepts 8 rounds, but that is for storing that round in the chamber. So one can empty the chamber, make the gun safe, and not have that +1 round loose and getting lost. There’s a reason it failed with 8+1. You’re not breaking it in, you’re just breaking it. Poor little Bobcat

[@ssoos7701]

​@@Militaryarmschannel Tim what did Beretta say about the Tomcats broker trigger return spring?

[@vocenoctum2046]

One thing to keep in mind with the tip up barrels is that they have no extractor. If you're emptying the gun, you pop the barrel. If you're verifying empty, you pop the barrel. If you remove the magazine and rack the slide a few times, that means nothing for the chamber because there is no extractor to pull that live round out of the chamber.

[@jaredmackey4511]

I don’t own one of these, but I’m glad to know that now.

[@prone_wolf8871]

Uhhh so how does it extract when the gun is being fired? I belive the pop barrel was more of an easy way for ladies to load without racking the slide......

[@AM-hf9kk]

@@prone_wolf8871 Pure blowback actions don't necessarily need an extractor, though many have one anyway. The casing can push itself against the slide until it hits the ejector, however if a round did not fire for any reason, there's no back pressure to remove the round from the chamber.

[@vocenoctum2046]

@@prone_wolf8871 It's straight blowback, the empty cases fly out as the slide cycles. I actually bought one of the Tomcat Coverts and was on my way to the range with it for the first time after watching this video. Mine functioned fun, one round that didn't fire with multiple hits on the primer, but no cycling issues or broken triggers. Silenced was fine, not a loud round at all. Slide did slice my thumb though, so if you get one make sure to keep a low grip! And of course, accuracy was not exactly match grade. :)

[@heckingoodboy634]

[@taasch2505]

The .25 acp version does hold .8+1 and with the mecgar mags 9+1. I know because I own one. Believe it or not I like my Taurus PT-25 Poly better. It's easier to draw out of the pocket and I can do so much quicker. It's capacity is 9+1. I know .25 acp isn't ideal but it's hot as balls in Texas so I only wear shorts and t-shirts. It's better than just failing to conceal my 9mm and being forced to leave it at home. I have a kel tec p32 but don't trust it. It hasn't been as reliable as my Taurus. Pocket .380s never jived with me in those tiny pistols.

[@BOB-wx3fq]

@@taasch2505 go get you a jetfire

[@UncleVoodoo]

S&B .32 acp ammo is too hot for the Tomcat, that's most likely why you broke something. It has 177 ft/lbs muzzle energy where Beretta specifically states to use 130 ft/lbs max. You're also having trouble loading that magazine in the Bobcat because you put 8 rounds in a 7 round mag.

[@sicilianlibertarian8417]

That's why I only use the PMC Bronze .32 ACP FMJ. The 126ft/lbs should give plenty of leeway for variances.

[@rhaynesify]

The extra back pressure from the can didn’t help either. I was half tempted to buy one of these Tomcats that I was playing with and then I remembered they had frame cracking issues in the past. The suppressor is just going to make that significantly worse.

[@truetalon]

Agreed - this video is a clusterfuck. I own 4 Tomcats all from the 1999 production and they all have over 500 rounds through them. I would never use the Sellier and Bellot 32ACP ammo as it's too hot for the Tomcat. I do use Federal Hydra Shok, Speer Lawman, American Eagle and Winchester Silvertip ammo and never had an issue, as all those rounds are at or under the 130Ft/Lbs recommended by Beretta. None have frame cracks or any other issues. And stuffing 8 rounds into a 7 round Bobcat magazine is just stupid.

[@myvenusheeler]

Strange, because I just read the manual on this little pistol and nowhere does it claim this. Maybe the newer guns have been improved on?? It just says use .32ACP ammo that is SAAMI or CIP rated.

[@UncleVoodoo]

@@myvenusheeler Possibly, the page on Beretta's website where they confirm the problem seems to have been taken down.

[@jelambertson]

The manual for the .32 Tomcat tells you specifically not to dry fire the gun despite the fact that it’s a centerfire.

[@ExtremeSquared]

The forward firing pin stop is a 1mm roll pin. Dry firing a few times over the life of the pistol probably won't destroy anything. It's a 1mm roll pin, though, so do the math on just how many times it can take that impact.

[@DonziGT230]

I have an old model 20 in .25 ACP and it's been reliable with every ammo I've tried including hand loads. Only issue it has is that the last round sometimes won't fully eject since it relies on the cartridge below to throw the case clear of the action. With the mag out that becomes WAY worse.

[@varanid9]

The reason it ejected a live round along with the case is because it didn't want the second round to jam on you. BTW, they're 7 round mags, not 8.

[@thu-bu1hf]

Could it be that the tip-up barrel concept is actually the safest mechanism to make sure a self-loading gun is really empty? With a normal semi-automatic you drop the magazine, rack the slide (a few times perhaps) and then assume that it's empty. At least theoretically, however, there might still be something stuck in the barrel ( a squib load, or a piece of a cartridge that was fired earlier.... the latter scenario is what killed Brandon Lee). With those tip-up barrels you can actually look inside the barrel, too, and make sure it's 100% clear.

[@lokichoki_]

Forgot to mention, these pistols are a pain to clear malfunctions. Due to a lack of an extractor a chamber round will stay in the chamber so the typical tap and rack doesn't work. Also a double feed or FTFeed can make magazine removal and tipping up the barrel difficult. So just be aware of this

[@crazyirishmedic9535]

Any time I get a malfunction in my Tomcat or Bobcat I just hit the release for the barrel without touching the barrel. The force of the barrel flinging open will eject the round 99% of the time

Get her a Kimber micro 9 instead. Costs a little more but it's almost just as easy and it's slightly heavier despite being smaller.

[@Ren505nm]

Save that "extra change" for "ammo".😐👍

[@JG54206]

I hadn’t considered the micro 9.

[@DeadBaron]

those huge 1/2-28 thread caps on that tiny barrel is hilarious to me for some reason

[@noquartergiven7789]

The 22LR looks really fun.

[@glenn6229]

Cartrige "Rim Locking" is the most common problem when using hollow points. Using FMJ round nose fit the magazine better and "Rim Locking" is less of a problem.

If anyone gets a lemon MAC(Tim) will! 🙃😂

[@arcfide]

LOL, I love my Berettas, and it's amazing how you manage to break this stuff.

[@thatguyoverthere9634]

The Tomcats are notorious for breaking

[@arcfide]

@@thatguyoverthere9634 They are, but I don't think they're notorious for breaking in that specific way.

[@chriss-vw8rs]

Beretta Advertises this model as a seven round capacity magazine, so when you force eight rounds in you should not be surprised if you get a malfunction

[@threaded4mypleasure818]

CAUTION!!! I just got the 3032 in a couple weeks ago. Came from the LGS. broken firing pin straight out of the box. I assume dry fire is bad with these. Idk. I replaced with oem pin and haven't been out to the range since.

[@toyotek2]

They're so cute

[@emulation2369]

Cute little baby guns... The will grow up one day and become true m92s...

[@hdc711]

This might have already been mentioned but Beretta ships all Tomcats with a warning not to use any ammunition that has more than 130ft/lbs of muzzle energy. The Sellier & Bellot 7.65 Browning you used in it has 240ft/lbs.

[@Subtlenimbus]

S&B 7.65 is nowhere near 240 ftlbs. Out of a kel-tec p32, with a 2.7” barrel it gets about 124. It would be less in the Tomcat.

[@hdc711]

@@Subtlenimbus I misread the unit of measurements, its 240 joules which is about 176ft/lbs. Either way that's too high for the Tomcat according to Beretta and they make no mention of barrel length so

[@denisdegamon8224]

Even at 176 ft/lbs, that quite a bit too high for any 32 acp loading. That is closer to many lower end 380 acp 's pressures.

[@jferris99]

Appreciate the video. Thanks-

[@Z0mb3hHunt3r]

21a is also 7+1 it needs the spring space for reliability.

[@kellytolliver2390]

Love these I have a older one in 25 ACP and I got a colt Jr in 25 ACP and yes two f.i.e 25 ACP I carry the colt as a back up but I gotta get one in the 32 I d love to get a baby browning in 25 ACP to complete my mouse gun collection and Mac pay no attention to all the haters like the Yankee Marshall he's a twit anyway love your content and you are way more educational then he ever dreamed I hate how we are all gun 2a guys but as soon as someone get jelly we rip each other we need to work together for the better of our 2a cause I'm behind ya you keep it up

[@Saku19]

I'm just here for comments about the SVDs....

[@cottonballs185]

That's over now, Tim's probably already recovering

[@lokichoki_]

I just picked up a 3032 fde threaded, I knew they had slide and frame breaks in earlier designs. So here's hoping

[@youbob28]

I knew that mine were 7rd mags but I realized that I could squeeze an extra round in there as well. I could not however get the mag to seat so I knew it was designed that way for a reason. It was certainly worth the try though. Glad you didn't break that one.

[@garymilstead4199]

I did the same thing

[@Sig_P229]

Mac, you aren't told often enough that we appreciate the content you put out 👍

[@Militaryarmschannel]

Thank you!

[@caesarselfreliance.4081]

Tim is still doing the Lords work by exposing poor QC.

[@cekamsr]

I've had similar mag issues from both ammo type & full mag with my Walther P22. If I shoot Rem bulk lightning-box or Aguila super-extra I'll get 3 or 4 FTF's out of the 7 mags I have. If I load the mags at full 10rds+1 capacity, I'll have FTF's on every full-loaded mag, every time! CCI mini mags seem to be the only 100% reliable bullet, as long as loaded 9+1, from my Walther P22.

[@tysonhenderson5174]

Awesome little guns! Would love one in .22. Great vid!

[@Snakedude4life]

Ya broke a gun, Tim? I am shocked, SHOCKED! 🎩 🐍 no step on snek! 🇭🇰🇺🇸

[@CustomerStatesPNW]

"got any of them svd's?" tyrone biggums probably

[@spyderxtra777]

I have 4 mags for my 21a, 3 will take 8 rounds with plenty of room and seat easily. 1 mag barely fits the 8th and won’t seat as you have shown. It seems either Beretta tweaked the mags at some point or just has some random QC issues.
