Beretta 3032 Tomcat INOX .32 ACP Stainless Micro Pistol — Tip-Up Barrel, DA/SA
The Beretta 3032 Tomcat INOX is a compact .32 ACP pistol built in Accokeek, Maryland, and finished in corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Its signature tip-up barrel lets the user load or clear the chamber without retracting the slide, making it especially convenient for those with limited hand strength. A heel-style magazine release keeps the grip profile slim, while the DA/SA trigger system provides both double-action first-shot capability and a lighter single-action follow-up. As part of Beretta’s long-running “cat” pistol series, this U.S.-made Tomcat offers proven pocket-pistol reliability in a stainless package.

What’s Included

Made entirely in the USA, this INOX-finished Tomcat pairs a stainless slide with a silver-anodized aluminum frame, giving it both corrosion resistance and lightweight handling.
The 2.4-inch stainless barrel tips up at the press of the frame latch. This design allows direct chamber loading and quick status checks without manipulating the slide—ideal for discreet carry scenarios or users with limited hand strength.
Beretta’s blowback action omits a mechanical extractor; empty cases are expelled by chamber pressure alone. Factory guidance limits ammunition to loads generating 130 ft-lb or less to protect the alloy frame.
Controls include a frame-mounted thumb safety, exposed hammer, and heel magazine release that keeps the pistol’s profile smooth for pocket or ankle carry. Rear slide serrations aid manual operation when needed.
