I bought a Beretta Tomcat when they first came out. It was, at the time, the best *available* .32ACP "mousegun," and lots of people were buying them. Of course, everyone, including me, hated shooting it, because of the snappy muzzle flip and sharp recoil due to the blow-back design.
Then the Kel-Tec P32 came out. My brother picked one up. I was indignant. Yeah, it was cool, but I had a [b]Beretta![/b] Well, that lasted for a couple of weeks until I finally shot the P32. UNBELIEVABLE. It was more accurate, had higher velocity, much, much easier to shoot due to the locked-breech action, and, OH MY GOD, the thing is TINY! It weighs almost nothing, and is super thin and flat.
I shot the Tomcat for the last time the other day. I doubt I'll shoot it again. It's a big, thick lump of lead compared to the P32. It's the first gun I'd ever consider selling, if I could get over my aversion to selling (my) guns.
