Remember my post about TomCat 3032 frame cracking and my exchange with Beretta’s so called customer support?
Anyways I shot the gun again after fixing the crack some but it only disintegrated further. I let them know what I think about it. Never buying another one of their guns again after they refused to fix nor replace it.
Yea I know my fault ammo was too powerful but WTFE. Brand new gun should eat off the shelf factory ammo, period.
Here's my original post from a while ago:

I agree and don’t blame you but don’t count them out yet.
Try a 92X instead. Built like a tank. Non-alloy frame. 3 pounds, empty.

Is Beretta the only currently manufactured pocket pistol that doesn't accept those rounds? I do love my Berettas.

I don't know; wife's Keltec P32 has been eating them up for 10+ years now with no issues. I did love my made in Italy 92FS Inox, then I sold it to my Dad and he's not selling it back to me. bummer. but this little POS Tomcat is just something else. Keltec is way smaller, lighter, and flimsier in general and yet it shoots'em fine. the 3032 is pretty bulky and heavy for a gun this size and yet the darn frame falls apart. I dont get it.

Does the Kel-Tec have an alloy frame, or all steel?

polymer, with a smaller metal insert on the inside, similar to Ruger LCP

Maybe you can leave a comment on some popular gun reviewer’s YouTube video asking them to duplicate your experience in the name of science. I nominate Beretta fanboy Sootch.

Buy a Kel-Tec and advertise that was because Beretta was junk from the go.

Ruger copied Kel-Tec

Looking at the guns side by side it’s obvious they did, or at the very least “borrowed” the design
