Beretta 3032 Tomcat is comparable in size to a smart phone and weighing only 14.5 oz, the ultra-concealable Tomcat has been the ultimate pocket pistol for over three decades. With the addition of a factory installed 1/2x28 TPI threaded barrel, the Tomcat model takes ultra compact to a new level with ultra quiet capability. It is user-friendly, durable, reliable and accurate, while with its snag-free lines is can be tucked in any kind of holster or pocket for deep concealment. The exclusive tip-up barrel allows the user to easily load a round directly into the chamber without racking the slide. It also assists in the safe clearing of the pistol by giving an easy and absolutely safe way to check the bore and and remove a live cartridge. Jamming and stove-piping problems are virtually eliminated by the open slide design shared by all small frame Berettas. Advanced Materials Keeping an eye on uncompromising quality helps keep Beretta small caliber semi-automatics ahead of the pack. Beretta pistols in the 3032 Series utilize a tough forging process for their barrels, while slides are fashioned from solid steel bar stock--and frames from solid aluminum forgings. This model has a Cerakoted steel slide and barrel. The alloy frame is FDE anodized to match the color and finish of the upper components. The other metal parts (trigger, hammer, trigger guard, safety, magazine, etc.) are black finished.
