I have one. I love it even though I’m 6’2” and weigh on the plus side of 220 lbs.

It’s a great pocket gun (can’t even see it in my pocket), you can load the chamber for a no rack setup (it is a true double action)and works great if you don’t over lubricate it.

It depends on pure blow back momentum to eject the spent case (no extractor because of the tip-up). Over lube the breech and the case can stick. It is truly a great little piece. I have its 22 cal Model 25 brother.

A fine, all STEEL gun and it works reliably. Only problem is that is pricey as are most Berettas.

The biggest problem is a very heavy first trigger pull. Except for the trigger pull, in all other respects the TomCat is a great carry gun for women. Bought one for my mother and she had a very difficult time with the trigger pull. Ended up getting her a S&M Air Weight instead. Don't know why Beretta never tried to improve the trigger and then focus marketing efforts to women.
