This version of the new Beretta 30X Tomcat in .32 Auto carries a 2.8-inch threaded barrel instead of the standard length, with a nitride finish over an alloy frame. The sights sit taller than usual to clear accessories mounted on the muzzle, and the pistol keeps the double-action trigger, the ELS system and the manual safety control of the base model. One 8-round magazine is included. The listing image is a stock photo.

The threaded muzzle and tall sights make this the Tomcat for a Texas buyer who wants to add a muzzle device later, while the alloy frame keeps the weight down for pocket or small-holster carry. The nitride finish is the practical choice for a gun that lives close to the body in a humid climate. At the range it stays a short-barreled .32 for close work, with the manual safety there for those who want it.
