@Zeek/PA – I agree with you on the safety of a revolver, but as a former runner I also agree with lloveless. It’s just not practical (particularly for a small woman) to run with a revolver.
Thank you lloveless for your kind words of support. And Zeke, I do read here and am trying to “build...
Shot the Tomcat. Nice!
Finally got with my friend and we put 100 rounds through the INOX Tomcat. She did most of the shooting and it went well. We used UMC FMJ ammo. This gun should work fine for her needs, though, she hasn't tried running with it yet.
At first I found it a bit snappy...
Good to hear the positive!
@Tomcat47 - thanks for giving so much good data on the upside of these guns. Looks like I will get to shoot the INOX tomorrow. Can't wait!
@bigfatdave - I don't think you are a jerk....I was shocked at the price, too.
@Tomcat47 - great ammunition info I will put to good use - I need to check what personal defense ammo my friend purchased and make sure it meets the requirements. When researching the Tomact, I too found myself...
Tomcat INOX Price
@bigfatdave - The best price on the INOX we could find local in Columbus Ohio was $449.00 plus tax. That price was at Gander Mountain which was $40+ better than anywhere else. They special ordered it and basically matched the price for the combo INOX slide, matte blue base.
To all the revolver fans
I guess I should have mentioned I went down the revolver path first with her, as I thought it was the best choice. She is convinced a revolver is too bulky and hard to conceal. I should have also mentioned she has been to the range with my family several times and...
Good advice
@bigfatdave - I will do as you suggest and luckily, I've bought my fair share of less challenging "fun guns" back in the day. lol. She should have some enjoyable shooting with my Ruger Mark II, American Arms 22LR/Mag "onion field gun" and even the Beretta .25ACP Jetfire. I did...
@ bigfatdave:
She picks up the gun tonight, which means I will most assuredly be making a trip to the range with her in the next couple of days. My idea is to have her put at least 150 rounds through it, since most who report cracks in the frame said on the various forums that it happens...
I'm still here
Sorry so long to reply - out of town. I have shared these comments with my friend, who, nevertheless, has gone ahead and ordered an INOX Tomcat. I do appreciate all the thoughtful suggestions - I personally have learned much from them for my personal and future acquisitions...

•To those of you with firearm suggestions – I will research and devour info on your suggestions.

Hello,
I am a new female subscriber who is a shooter and own several guns. I have a female friend who wants a gun to conceal while hiking and running. She is 5ft. 4 inches, and only weighs 106 lbs. Has her heart set on a Beretta Tomcat, and I've advised her of all the cracked frame issues...
