Keltec P3AT or Beretta tomcat .32?

[jimk66]

Your choice on manufacture and caliber however, my problem is the cost and availability of ammo. 380's are very tough to get and 32's are even more difficult and more expensive. A guy at the range Monday paid $28 for 50 rounds of 32's. I paid $17 a box (50) Magtec's a couple weeks ago.

I have/had both. The Beretta tomcat in blue was originally my first choice. Unfortuantely I had two crack after only 60 rounds. I heard they have stopped making the blued models. The inox models are supposed to be ok, but heavy. Beretta replaced the second cracked Tomcat with a 92fs. I then purchased a p3at. It works just fine, kicks as badly as the Tomcat, but seems reliable. I put a laser on it that conforms to the gun and it is about as small a carry gun as you can get, and given a choice, 380 is better than 32.

Yikes! Look around online for .32acp at less than half that price, even with shipping. I usually find .32acp easier than .380acp, but both are out there.
I bought a case of Sellier & Bellot .32acp from J&G Sales a couple weeks ago for $12.49 per 50 rounds (individual boxes same price).
AIM had Aquila .32acp earlier this week for like $13 per 50 rounds. I prefer S&B.
It's out there, just takes some looking around is all.
