FWIW, I bought a Beretta tomcat about 2 years ago. Despite living in a dry climate (SoCal), the blued parts of that gun were covered with rust very quickly. Nothing like that happened to any of my other guns, or, indeed, to any other metal thing I own. Just something to keep in mind.

I did a trade for a Tomcat. Excellent plinker. No problems with rust. Wonder what's goin on Jubal, think there's some kind of factory defect in the finish? I don't know, but I'm in a humid climate, and don't have that problem. Another friend of mine said that by the time someone dragged that 45 around, he'd have at least 3 shots in with the 'cat....laffed my butt off!

Thing is, I don't think you want to put a whole lot of rounds thru it.....and it sure makes my hand tired after about 10 clips (but that's just to get used to the feel of it, so's all I really need)....

But I do like that Tomcat.
