Looked again and again and cannot see where I suggested that Redleg does not know how to inspect a firearm. Geez, try to be a nice guy, ya know?

A very big mistake Kid. It's unfortunate because I really liked this gun for 11 months and trully believed I was one of the lucky ones. Then one day WHAMMO! It has a new home now. In a land far, far away....

Scroll back down to Redleg's post. Redleg, have you looked at the frame just above the trigger? I was certain that my INOX was fine, but decided to look at the problem area. Discovered the infamous crack.
Remove the slide and look at the frame. You may be in for a surprise.

I rec'd no explanation from Beretta. Simply replaced my POS with a new one. I obviously had zero confidence in the structural integrity of this weapon and immediatly unloaded it. I had hundreds of

I've been asked to inquire about what anyone here has done to start an inquiry into the complete disrespect we've all received (or not received) from Beretta, regarding the endless problems

My sincere apology for that oversight #1, I completely missed that!! My BAD, I'm sorry. The accurate prices for the added CT Laser grips is an additional $150.00 (each class) if

I have less than 50 rounds thru mine and no trouble yet. Since I fire it so infrequently, I'm afraid it may be years before this criack problem shows up. Maybe I should get rid of it.
What's a hardly used Tomcat w/laser going for?

Doriadiver, Did they offer any explanation of improvement, better materials, redesign, etc? Or did they just send you a fixed/replaced pistol and a blessing of "good luck?"

Got a new replacement back from Beretta on a Thursday, sold it on Friday. I will not carry this gun. This from a Big Beretta Fan. I have 3 other Berettas that I love! However this gun is a DOG and the way Beretta has handled the entire situation is criminal.

Don't forget to write to your state Attorney General's office and file a complaint about this. Trust me, with all of the online documentation, you won't have any problem backing up your complaint

I purchased the Beretta 3032 Tomcat about 2 years ago.
I was doing some research on the gun, and saw another forum talking about the cracked frame. I had not seen any problems with my gun until now,

Unf-ing believable! I decided to check my INOX, removing the slide. The frame is cracked. Damn! I stopped carrying it when I replace it with an airlite 357 revolver, but thought it a good pistol

Got a "new" Beretta POS Tomcat today to replace the one with the cracked frame. Took 5 1/2 weeks from dropoff to pickup. . Too bad, before it cracked it was my daily Carry Weapon. It has since

Yes it appears it's not a matter of if I have a problem but rather when will it happen. I will definitely be replacing mine with the Sig P238. My wife bought one a few months ago and we have nothing

While it is nice to hear some people have had no problem with this pistol, that info frankly is irrelevant. The purchaser of a gun used for self-defense expects it to be extremely reliable. If 70%, 80%

I think we have it! redleg's gun was made over 13 years ago. I wonder if the manufacturing plant has moved or they have changed materials or design? My gun was made in the US. Was yours? I think you somehow have a different gun, lucky for you.

Still carrying the one I bought 13 years ago. Several hundred rounds and many dead varmints later and it is still running fine.

Thanks guys for your input. The replacement gun is the black matte POS model. Yes we are trying to get rid of the gun and get something reliable. I am also in the process of contacting the Att. Gen.

Hey JT, Did they replace it with the INOX or just another POS Black Matte finish? I'm 5 weeks out now and still waiting to hear from the powers that be. Although my local shop handled the return process

Hi JT and welcome to the forum. It's unfortunate that you and your wife had to experience this same ridiculous problem. Anyone that is within TV-Text-Telephone or Tom Tom, needs to understand that
