Can this Tomcat handle Ammo with a psi greater then 130 psi my older Tomcat does not recommend any pressure greater then 130 psi

Question

Randy I. · Answer

this tomcat will handle all standard 32 acp loads Beretta recommends using jacketed hollow point (JHP) or full metal jacket (FMJ) ammunition for their .32 ACP Tomcat
Beretta does not recommend using +P (higher pressure) ammunition in the .32 ACP Tomcat.
your figure of 130 psi is way low the 32 acp has a average pressure of 18,000 psi and a max of 32 ACP ammo operates at a maximum average pressure of around 20,500 PSI

Hi James, the owners manual says  "Use only high-quality, commercially-manufactured ammunition that is manufactured in accordance with CIP (Europe and elsewhere) or SAAMI® (USA) standards."
Stay safe & have a great day!
