OT : Beretta Tomcat .32 or S & W Airweight .38 spec ???
The Dealer im going thru has both of these . Dont know which to get. I
understand that the .32 cal. is the absolute minimum for self defense but I understand the Tomcat can shoot HP rounds which would make it more lethal. I love semi autos and i love the size of the Tomcat for CCW. On the other hand, I know the S & W Airweight Revolver has a good reputation and is more powerful. Can you give me your first hand experience with either of these please ? This dealer wants : $379 for the Beretta new. And $419 for the S & W new (which is some $70 off the msrp.). Please help with experiences , problems, etc . Thanks. Dave |

'Safety..Got kids in your house?
adaptability..you a lefty? assesssories..been around a while to make buying holsters, extra clips, etc? feild strip procedure..' REPLY: No kids in the house. No wife either. Im a righty , only. Sure ive been around...been to Canada, England, and Mexico on vacations. I have a Glock .45 cal so im real familiar with breaking down a gun for cleaning and lubing . Ive already researched holsters of many kinds. Just dont know if i want the Tomcat or the S and W since theyre so close in price ($379 versus $419). |

Beretta Tomcat .32 or S & W Airweight .38 spec ???
Well, after chatting to quite a few gun enthusiasts and weighing up the
pros and cons., ive elected to go with the SandW Airweight .38 spec. Its small and light enough to easily fit into my relatively small Fanny Pack and sounds like a very adequate self defense Piece , especially with hollowpoints . One guy said with his, he can shoot 300 feet and still get all the rounds to hit the largest mass of a body target ; im sure alot is due to his ability as well. |
