I think keeping it in the proper perspective is important though. While the issue exists, there are far more 3032 owners that have not experienced the problem than those who have. Further, it seems that the problem, should it occur, is not critical. Some owners have actually chosen to continue using the gun after the crack has appeared with no issues. I'm not recommending that, just sayin'. The problem could possibly result in the slide binding, depending on how the crack presents itself. Anyway, not trying to be argumentative, just trying to keep the perspective in the realm of reality. I am among the many 3032 owners who love the design and have had excellent experience with the gun. Here's a very interesting post I found while 'reading up' at the Beretta Forum. Mirabyte frontface lockdown. 'When Beretta uprated the original Bobcat.25 ACP to handle the much more powerful.32 ACP, they basically shoehorned it all into the original size pistol. Naturally the.32 caused more strain on the frame resulting in 'cracks' occurring in the frame on the right side, at the trigger bar pin opening - where the 'frame' material is little more than a sliver of material. From an 'engineering' standpoint the tiny sliver of frame material could be cut-away and the gun would function without any problem, however, Beretta chose to leave it which tends to cause owners to think it 'needs' to be present even though it does not. When I got my Tomcat I crafted a shok-buff from a 1911 buff that has been used for range firing and at the very least I can say that 500 or so rounds in, my Tomcat INOX frame has not cracked. Having said that, if it DID crack, far from sending it back for a replacement I'd simply cut away that slender thread of material over the trigger bar opening and keep on shooting.that tiny band of material simply has NO BEARING on how the pistol functions other than a crack might cause the slide to bind until the piece is removed. Beretta decided to 'solve' the problem with a heavier slide and this makes sense because it lowers slide recoil velocity and frame impact speeds, however, based on anectdotal reports, 'wide slide' models still evidence frame cracks.
![]() ![]() May 8, 2018 - The Beretta 3032 Tomcat is a.32 ACP pocket pistol with a few twists. Only available with the slightly thicker and more durable INOX frame. The fact of the matter is that the slide's 'impact' is absorbed across a ledge directly behind the slide's crossbar which happens to include a STEEL stud extending downward from the barrel which serves to share that 'frame shock' with the front portion of the frame at the barrel hinge location. What causes that tiny bridge of material to fracture is harmonic vibration and the gun/frame will work just fine with NO 'bridge' of material there.a fact documented by those intrepid shooters who've been shooting their Tomcats after the infamous frame crack. If that band of material ever cracks on mine I will carefully excise the tiny strip of metal, smooth all edges, and keep on shooting.there is a great deal more 'meat' between the frame ledge and the forward frame hinge point and I have no worries that the frame will provide superior service. Whether aluminum or steel, the Tomcat frame would be prone to cracking at that tiny bridge and Beretta would be better served by making future frames without the bridge to save on all the end-users who send their pistols back for what is essentially a cosmetic issue.' And some pics of the infamous crack as well as the two slide designs (thick and thin). ETA: NOT MY PHOTOS.
