I was wondering if the 10rd mag for the beretta Tomcat sticks out the bottom or is it flush?? I saw one of these mags in a beretta magazine. Just wondering thanks

when the govenment comes for you weapons, give them the ammo first
 
It sticks out about an inch.

(Think about it: its a single-stack magazine. THere's now way it could be flush.)

I sold mine when I sold the Tomcat (which was my second. Several trips to the factory, one replacement under warranty.)

Good riddance.
 
Walt, how did you ship your tomcat back to the factory? I need to send mine back to have the safety put back on (fell off the first day I had it). I'm selling it after it gets fixed.
 
Is the Tom Cat as good as the Keltec P-32? Whats everyones oppinion?...7th Fleet

7,

I really like the Beretta. They don't have a reputation for building junk. It's just a more solid gun when you hond it in your hand. I like the tip-up barrel and the Traditional Double Action. You can get either for about $250.00-$270.00.

I wouldn't get a 10 round magazine... just buy another standard cap mag and you can practice reloading in the process.

My experience with Tomcats wasn't good. I had problems with two of them, and personally know of 6 others that had problems, including frame failures. The gun range/shop where I shoot quit selling them because of all the problems they had: sell it, and a week later have to send it back to the factory.

(After I sent my first one back to the factory, it took them three months to get a NEW gun back to me. That one went back the factory twice with broken firing pins. Even snap caps won't keep them from disintegrating.)

The last time I shot mine, the slide jammed back, and I had to use a nylon mallot to free it up. There was no damage, but I totally lost confidence in it -- and I bought it for concealed carry.

The only guy I know who has one who hasn't had problems, is a guy who doesn't shoot his.
He bought it, fired it at the range once, and stuck it in a drawer at home. He sometimes carries it.

Perhaps the newer ones have all of the early problems resolved.

There's no question that the Kel-Tec is a better gun, if for no other reason that its a locked-breech design that will accept +P ammo.

The Tomcat is heavy, and wide, and if you're not careful, when reloading, you can knock the slide off the frame by pressing the tilt lever a little too strongly.

On the other hand, both of mine were very accurate, and while shooting wasn't always pleasant, they were far more pleasant to shoot than a Seecamp. (I have never understood the mystique of Seecamps: they hurt the shooter almost as bad as the target!)

Someone asked how I shipped it back. That was over two years ago, when there wasn't problems with UPS. I sent it by UPS in the factory box... Insured for $300, hoping it would get lost.

I traded it in on a Kel-Tec P11, and I've never looked back. I have 12 other handguns, including several very expensive ones (like a SIG P-210) but the P-11 is the one I usually carry. [I have a concealed carry permit].

If you're looking for a small gun, the Kel-Tec P32 is probably the best thing going. If you want a slightly larger one, with 10 rounds of 9mm, then the Kel-Tec P11 is a good alternative. As is the Kahr Micro 9mm. The Kahr is heavy. Maybe their new polymer framed 9mm will be lighter.
