Hi All,
I'm looking for a little help on what to do with a Tomcat I have.
Long story short, I got this tomcat in partial trade for a dirtbike I sold a number of years ago. I didn't know a whole lot about tomcats other than they had a popup barrel and I though i's size it would be a good carry for the wife. Plus I didn't think you could really go wrong with a name like Beretta, and I could always sell/trade it later.
Well it sat in the safe for a couple years, before I had a chance to shoot it. When I did shoot it, it would jam quite a bit so I figured it might be dirty or didn't like the ammo I was using. Anyway cleaned it up and while surfing the net ran across the cracked frame issue. Sure enough, tiny crack on mine. Darn, neat little pistol, but totally sounds like a design flaw and sounds like Beretta can be less then helpful on a return especially from a second owner.
Here's my options as I see them.
1.) Since it's the only .32 I have I wouldn't miss it at all and really don't want a new INOX version from Beretta but I suppose I could always trade that one or sell it, but dealing with shipping and me being the second owner, I don't really envy going down that road.
2.) Hang on to it until the next Police buy back and see it I can get a couple hundred for it and sell the 2 mags on EBAY.
3.) Try to sell it as is, can't imagine it's worth much.
One thing I WON'T do is try to sell or pass it off to some other sucker like me. I asked the dude how it shot and if it had any issues and trusted him when he said no.
Anyway, if you guys can think of what else I can do with this nifty looking paper weight please give me your two cents i'd appreciate it.
You can see the crack it's the light line going across the frame.
Thanks, Southpaw
