Seecamp endorses carrying their .32 with a round in the chamber. Beretta does not.

Perhaps most important for many, the Beretta .32’s suggested retail price is much lower than that of the Seecamp.

Bottom Line

The Beretta 3032 Tomcat came to me with only one magazine. This is the way most pocket pistols are sold. The industry has come to believe that any blithe spirit who trusts his life to a sub-caliber firearm probably isn’t into carrying spare ammo. This tells you something about the market profile you’re matching yourself to when you consider buying one.

I’d rather you carried a .32 auto than a .25, or no gun at all. But this is not the accurate, point of aim/point of impact, glass smooth, and sufficiently potent Beretta that the U.S. military adopted for soldiers, and that INS adopted for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. It’s a damn good pocket pistol, more affordable and more available and more accurate than the Seecamp .32 whose market it was designed to invade, but that’s all that it is.
