I'm wondering if anyone on INGO has personally had issues with frame cracking on a Beretta Tomcat--particularly on the inox (stainless) version. I used to have the regular, matte black Tomcat, and I liked it a lot and shot it well. I really enjoy shooting my Bobcats (.22LR and .25ACP) but I'm thinking about buying a Tomcat again for actual BUG use or maybe even primary CC in very light clothing.
I know that a lot of users have reported cracking of the frame with the matte/blued Tomcats. From what I've read elsewhere, Beretta has been willing to replace those pistols with the inox version, which presumably is less prone to cracking.
The problem is, I think the frame of the stainless version isn't stainless--it's just anodized so that its appearance matches the barrel and slide, which actually are stainless. So I'm not sure how the inox version would be less prone to frame cracking--the frame isn't actually any different!
I guess it's possible that the additional mass of the stainless slide somehow dampens the force being imparted to that portion of the frame. But I wonder if Beretta is really just pulling one over on Tomcat owners. I have seen one report of cracking on an inox version.
Gotta say that I just like the appearance and feel of the Beretta tip-up pistols. They are certainly a lot heavier than the modern crop of polymer pocket .380s, but I think I was much more accurate with my old .32 Tomcat than I would be with the ultralights like the LCP, etc. Hits with .32 certainly are better than misses with .380, and the Tomcat certainly can be pocket carried. But I don't want to drop $400 on a pistol that will crack after 500 rounds.
Beretta Tomcat Cracked Frame Repair Kits
In my apple mac how fix this%3b flash required for recording video.. Once they crack after thousands of rounds, they never get worse anyway. Delphi autocom 2016. This is the same case with the Beretta 3032 Tomcat, the piece of thin metal over trigger bar serves no purpose, Beretta went to wide slides to slow down the action instead of spending millions of dollars to replace tooling machines eliminating this thin piece of useless metal. Weatheraloud.
