Beretta Tomcat J320500CA 32 ACP Micro-Compact 7+1 Tip-Up Barrel

The Beretta Tomcat J320500CA delivers reliable micro-compact performance in 32 ACP with its distinctive tip-up barrel design that eliminates the need to rack the slide for loading. This California-compliant pistol combines Italian engineering with practical concealed carry dimensions.

What Makes This Different

The tip-up barrel mechanism sets the Tomcat apart from conventional micro-compact pistols, allowing users to load a round directly into the chamber without manipulating the slide. This feature proves particularly valuable for shooters with limited hand strength or those requiring quick, quiet loading. The double-action/single-action trigger system provides versatility with a long first pull followed by shorter subsequent shots.

Key Features

• Tip-up barrel design for direct chamber loading without slide manipulation
• 32 ACP chambering with 7+1 capacity for reliable stopping power
• 2.4-inch blued steel barrel with integrated tip-up mechanism
• Satin stainless steel slide with corrosion-resistant finish
• Lightweight satin aluminum frame reduces carry weight
• Double-action/single-action trigger system
• California DOJ approved configuration with compliant features

The 32 ACP cartridge provides manageable recoil while maintaining effectiveness for personal protection scenarios. The compact 4.9-inch overall length makes the Tomcat suitable for pocket carry or ankle holster applications where larger calibers would prove impractical. Beretta's manufacturing standards ensure consistent accuracy within typical self-defense distances.
