Beretta .32 Tomcat Question

Anybody own a Beretta .32 caliber Tomcat? If so, how do you find it to be? I own the Bobcat in .25 and like it, but would like a bit more oomph from a pocket pistol. I would rather stick to the Beretta than have a Kel-Tec. Thanks...

I have one and really like it. I did have a problem with the first one that I bought. After about 200 rounds it got a crack in the frame just above the trigger. I sent it to Beretta and they replaced it with a new one. I started out with 71gr. ammo with the first gun which I think may have contributed to the problem. I now use Winchester 32 Auto 60GR. silvertip HP. I haven't had any problems with the new one. It is my opinion that these small framed pocket carry guns were not made for target shooting, and firing of thousands of rounds. They are great point and shoot guns and are very accurated at short distances. The Tomcat is very easy to carry concealed. I have a De Santis G2 pocket carry holster and a Don Hume inside the pants clip on holster. Both work great.

Thanks Wall. I apreciate the feedback. The dealer showed me a .25 round that had a small bearing in the tip of the bullet. I forget which manufacturer. It's labeled a defense round. I gather that the bearing striking the target first expands the bullet. I doubt that it will have much expansion if it hits soft tissue. Anybody familiar with this ammo or any other for a .25, until I get a .32? I've had a bit of trouble with the Beretta .22's misfiring and jamming in pocket pistols. So I don't carry one in that caliber. Thanks...
