Beretta Alleycat

[Newton]

Does Beretta still make the Alleycat (Tomcat with night sights) I didn't see it listed on their web site.

Does anyone have any experience with this pistol.

Thanks

Hi Newton,

We have had one for several years. The good points are:

1. Mechanically, it's been perfect. No failures of any kind.
2. It's small and light enough to be a great CCW
3. The tip up barrel is perfect for my wife
4. Very easy target acquisition
5. Very easy to find the pistol at night

One Caveat:
The tritium front sight is large enough that it can interfere with getting it into some holsters. My favorite holster for the Alleycat is a small, suede iwb holster. To get it to fit, I had to spend several days soaking it and expanding the entire fromt section of the holster to make room for the front sight.

Be Well,

Scarface

Thanks Scarface, the Alleycat would also be for my better half.

Good tip about the front sight.
