Does anybody have any experience with these weapons? Are they reliable?

My wife was given one in 32 acp.  The friend said they bought one and it F T F and eject.
 So they sent it to Beretta and they were sent a new pistol.  This is the one they gave my wife.
It is a fun pistol to shoot I like it she love it.  We understand it's limitations and don't push the envelope.
  It has fired hundreds of gold dots and hydra shocks+ full metal jacket.  No hi-cups--not a one.
I now hand load for it and It still has a clean record.  No malfunctions.

My wife has a year old Beretta Tomcat in 32 Auto.  She is a realtor and uses it as a carry weapon.  It is what it is and has always performed fine for her.  We are selling the gun now for $300 because I would like to get matching handguns for her and I both.  The gun is currently advertised in the for sale forum.  Hope this helps.  Regards

I have a stainless steel in 32 ACP that I just love. Mine seems to like the Speer Gold Dot 60 grain hollow point and the Federal Hydra-Shock 65 grain hollow point the best as far as accuracy goes. I shot the Cor-Bon 60 grain hollow point through it but they are not as accurate in mine. I would like to try the Winchester Silvertips but I have not been able to find any. On a final note it has never failed to fire or jam and I like the thickness of the handle as it allows me to get a comfortable grip. I bought mine used and it was in excellent condition for $265.00.

My FFL holder requires any firearms to be shipped to them via another FFL holder.  So, If I make an offer on a firearm please let me know if this is capable of being done from the start.  Please do NOT mark an item "SPF" to me until we "both" are happy with and in agreement on shipping, funds and the transaction in general.   Thanks

I have had one for about five years now and have no complains or issues with it.  I never had any malfunctions and this surprises me in that it does not have an extractor and relies on the shell blowing itself out of the chamber,  It is also quite accurate for such a tinny gun and will easily place all of its rounds into a man silhouette target 10 ring at 15 yards.  I have also killed small game including rabbits and a raccoon with mine.  I reload for it with both cast bullets and JHP but for CCW it is loaded with speer gold dots.

Nick:  not having a extractor yet functioning perfectly surprises me too.  I have a 21A that I have owned for years and it never fails, unless absolutely filthy and then a chamber brushing is all that's needed to return it to perfect functioning again.  Beretta has used this system for many, many years - used it on the 950s in 25 acp, and on the earlier 22s and 22 short models; if it works for the 22lr and the 25acp it should work (and it does) for the 32.  jmtcw.

I have the blue .32 that has never failed to feed or eject.  The only problem I've ever had was racking the slide.  If you have largish hands, when you pull back the 30 lb slide, it'll slice a hole in the web of your hand like drawing a razor-blade across it.  Obviously, there is little reason to sling-shot the slide with the pop-up barrel.

NOT a hijack but have you folks considered that no semi-auto has use for an extractor unless you're manually ejecting an unfired round, or a stuck case...

A friend had a Tomcat that everytime it was fired the barrel would pop up. Examining it we fould the frame was cracked under the pop up barrel.  Sent it back to Beretta and they sent him a brand new one.  No problems since.  Surprized me because he didn't have a warranty card or sales slip.  >:( for manufacture but  :) for customer service.
