As I go through the archives of several forums (here, rimfirecentral, others), I have gotten the impression that the Beretta Bobcat is a reasonably reliable pistol, if fed high quality .22lr ammo like Mini-Mags and kept very clean.
However, I get the impression that a higher precentage have given up on the .32acp Tomcat due to its unreliability.
Are there design differences that make the Bobcat more reliable and the Tomcat less reliable? I realize that one is rimfire and the other is centerfire but the platforms do look similar to the novice.
Am I getting the wrong impression about the actual reliability differences between these two pistols from scanning the forum comments? I know that it's easy to get the wrong impression form simply scanning the forums...that's why I'm asking.
