WTB: Beretta 3032 Tomcat

Me and the wife did our CHL Class this weekend. Once we get the license, she wants this gun.

I think we are looking for a stainless but would entertain offers on a black. If you have one for sale, have recently bought or seen one sold I would appreciate some feedback on what a "like new condition" in case w/two clips might cost.

I may end up buying from someone here but for now I am just shopping and getting ready.

Welcome Chris,

Looks like they run between $300.00 and $400.00 depending upon finish.

Thanks for the links guys. I wonder if I can get the "big dot sites" on the stainless model?

I think I paid about $324.00 for mine when I bought it about a year ago. I've got the matte black finish. An observation: I had some inital trouble with the last round out "stove piping", but after putting about 200 rounds through it, that hasn't happened again.

Its a nice little gun and pretty accurate.

Alot of the smaller caliber pocket guns will stovepipe after the last round because there's no feeding shell to assist its ejection. Since there's no slide stop, you have to rack the slide anyway after inserting a new mag, so the stovepipe would be cleared anyway.

The stainless 3032's had thicker slides and would be my choice over the bruniton finished ones if I were buying one...........

I had one of these (stainless), but found it too thick and heavy for pocket carry, so I sold it. It was a nice pistol and shot well (the one I had had received a trigger job from the previous owner), but wasn't pocket material for me. I just tried out my mom's KelTec P3AT and that is what my wife and I are opting for.

Good luck in your search.
