10/12/2020 Beretta Tomcat Inox Frame Cracked
A Magnum Opus on heavy loads for the .32 ACP < for use in suitably strong, STEEL framed guns> is being submitted soon for The Fouling Shot, but important safety information needs to get out now and not wait for publication!
My advice is to severely limit loads producing over 130 ft.-lbs. to occasional/emergency use only in micro pistols like the Beretta Tomcat for two reasons:
Jul 10, 2017 The Beretta Tomcat 3032 is a diminutive 32 ACP pocket pistol which is pretty cool, but can be problem-prone. I had one for a few years; hereâs the rundown. That little button towards the rear of the grip between the screws is the magazine release. The safety is visible at rear of slide, and that. Beretta 3032 Tomcat INOX Pistol SS Finish, 32 ACP, 4.9' - $309.99 (Grab a quote) Beretta 3032 Tomcat INOX Pistol, J320500, SS Finish, 32 ACP, 4.9'. The Beretta® 3032 Tomcat INOX Pistol is a high quality piece of compact weaponry. Precisely rifled, the Beretta® 3032 Tomcat INOX Pistol is. Beretta Tomcat Cracks Well, it's about 3 years since the last post on this topic. It seems that Beretta is still having same problems with Tomcat 3032. I just sent mine in for a crack in the same place. On the frame just above the trigger. I also had a chip of metal come of the slide rail on frame by tailpiece. I have the Tomcat Inox. My very favorite carry gun. The frame cracking issue can be avoided by not shooting ammo with a muzzle energy over 130 ft./lbs. (basically.32 ammo over 71 grain). My Tomcat is very accurate, super reliable, and fun to carry and shoot. Jan 01, 2020 I've owned Beretta pistols(96FS, 93G, 2 PX4's 3032 Inox) my entire adult life, never had to use their short 2 year warranty, or contact customer service, knock on wood. I likewise own an Inox 3032 and not one issue, or frame crack, albeit there is not a terribly high round count on it.
1) because they may cause serious âslide biteâ if you have meaty hands and don't use a Hogue Grip Sleeve, as I painfully found out. And
2) after prolonged firing, they are âframe crackers.âÂ
My Beretta Model 3032 INOX Tomcat until recently had digested over 2000 rounds of hot Euro and heavy bullet hand loads before eventually failing.
If you own a Beretta Tomcat, open the tip-up barrel and inspect the frame rail above the trigger pivot hole for cracks, as shown in the photo.
Beretta doesn't ârepair or replaceâ these any more, nor do they warrant them for use with hand loads or ammunition which exceeds 130 ft.-lbs. manufacturer's rating.
If you choose to use âhotâ loads in yours, then you are on âyour own nickel.âÂ
Beretta Tomcat 32 Cracked Frame
I will continue to use my Tomcat as a teaching tool to demonstrate the advantages of the tip-up barrel for women or elderly who have trouble racking the slide, but any shooting will be VERY limited from now on, with more sedate loads than my hand loaded âBuffalo Boreâ approximations.
I still have no reservations firing the heavy .32 ACP loads in STEEL FRAME, standard sized guns such as the Colt M1903, Walther PP, Beretta M1935, CZ27, etc., replacing recoil springs with the heavier Wolff .380 ACP replacements where available.
