Had mine for a month and trading it in. Multiple failures to eject using a defensive rounds. I have a Keltec P-32 that will eat anything. Sent to Beretta and they found nothing wrong after 50 rounds. Got it back and all side panel screws are loose. Done
@@JohnThomas-d8o that’s unfortunate man, I’m hoping we stop hearing about the issues this pistol is having soon but idk how much effort is being put into fixing them all. Wish there was a super solid .32 that held more ammo, has a threaded barrel, and just runs forever.
For what it's worth, I have the exact same gun and have not had one single malfunction using quality ammo. This is both shooting suppressed and regular. The only time I've had malfunctions is when I shoot aluminum cased ammo. Given I have over 300 rounds of that junk, it's going to be used exclusively in the 3032 Tomcat Ghost, which will eat anything.
@@9viggen right on man that’s cool, my last 30X had zero malfunctions with 30X mags but some with my modified 3032 mags. All I was shooting was fiocchi blue box so definitely quality ammo and only using factory 30X mags; could be a “break in” thing but we will see. How many rounds total have you put through your 30X?
@@9viggen right on. Any abnormal wear on the frame rails? Do they have the same protrusions at the rear like mine? I’ve seen that on all 3 30X pistols I have owned so far. Also: what suppressor do you use? I shot my first one with my Tirant 45 can. Haven’t used it on this pistol just only unsuppressed shooting so far.
@@FreedomsLife1776 no abnormal frame wear like in your previous video. I have a CGS Mod 9 SK. It’s super quiet on the 30X and 3032. Not as quiet on the 80X, M9A3 and especially the PMXS.
@@Brad-vs1jc interesting: haven’t heard that before but that definitely sounds like a high wear component. What happened when they broke? Did the whole spring assembly come apart or was it just loose after that?
I ordered the same one myself. I'm such a fan on their other stuff I couldn't help it. Really disappointed to hear about your experience with the rep. Hopefully I won't experience the issues that you reported.
@@chrisr6749 it was a rocky start with beretta: but it was resolved and l really have high hopes for this particular model. I think the coating is helping somewhat and I really like the improved polymer grips with the 2 attachment screws. Though it still makes absolutely zero sense why they’ve decided to use hex screws and not flat heads. Has a remarkably better trigger too so idk if that’s a model thing or just this particular pistol but I love that. I have a case of .32 showing up this week and will be putting about 200-300 more rounds through it this month and I am just praying it lives through it and isn’t looking like my last one. I have an idea how to totally fix the rear rail issue and want to try that if this pistol dies on me. I hope your pistol lasts and you have no issues! Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
@@frankbrowning328 as am I. I’m hoping reliability improves and the rear sight idk what to do. I can red locktite it but that should never be necessary. My last pistol never had those reliability issues where it failed to feed the top round. I did have a couple failures to feed where the round went nose up, but only on mags I modified myself not with the factory 30X mags like I had here. I also had a live round ejected with a spent case that’s kinda hard to see in the video, but I put a short up of that happening if you want to see that. Just gonna keep shooting the pistol and see how it goes. Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
@@FreedomsLife1776 do you see “bullet dive” with the top round? I had that with my PPK/S in 32 ACP. Replaced the magazine springs and even took it to a gunsmith. Worst gun I’ve ever owned. Hated that thing and sold it less than a year after getting it. Beautiful gun and a piece of history, but trash to shoot. I do see Walther is coming out with a new threaded barrel version, but $1k for a 32 ACP? Hard pass.
@@9viggen I agree 100%: not only is that over priced by a light year I don’t want a threaded PPK/S I want a threaded PPK in .32. Even making the PPK/S seems stupid to me. Make the PP and the PPK. PPK/S only exists for import laws and if you’re making them domestically just make the two original models. I don’t see egregious bullet diving but it’s definitely the cause of those malfunctions I had. The frame does have a steel insert to help with that issue. Might try polishing that and seeing how it goes.

@@9viggen right on. Glad yours is looking good for you.
My 30X was super loud suppressed; way more than any of my other .32 pistols
The tabs that hold the springs on my recoil spring housings broke after about one hundred rounds , easy fix though

@@FreedomsLife1776 the springs poked out the bottom of the housings but are still held in good enough until I get the new ones
@@Brad-vs1jc very interesting. It is such a different recoil system than I’m used to it’s cool to have info like that. Thanks for sharing that!
