The Beretta Tomcat is a compact pocket pistol with a tip-up barrel that allows the chamber to be loaded or unloaded without manipulating the slide. Chambered in .32 ACP, it is intended as a deep-concealment backup or pocket carry pistol. The tip-up mechanism is particularly useful for users who find it difficult to rack the slide against spring tension. The alloy frame keeps weight manageable.
