Beretta Tomcat Concerns

[Glock_man]

I have recently bought a Beretta Tomcat and heard many stories about how the barrel flies up and the slide rams into it after about 200-300 shots? Does anyone have a story about this happening or reason why it could be happening? I am a little concerend about it right now.
thanks

The barrel flies up and the slide rams into it when the shooter gets careless and lets his thumb creep up to push the lever. I have three "flip barrel" berettas with about 5000 rounds between them. I have never had this problem. I handed a 21A (an "old" tomcat) to a friend and he had the barrel flip up on the first shot. Once he figured out what he did... no more problems. Watch your thumb and quit worrying .
