Ive had my 3032 Tomcat for about 7 years. Ive fired hundreds of rounds with it, but Ive never been able to get through an entire 7 round clip without a failure to feed. Ive tried everything. Many different types of ammo, changed magazines, cleaned it and left dry, cleaned it and oiled to the max, didnt clean it, tap the magazines, etc.... It still fails to feed after the second or third round fired. The only time I can get it to NOT have a failure to feed is if I only put four or five rounds in the magazine. So when I carry it concealed, I never have a full clip in it.... Other than that, I like it. Its easy to conceal (I have a hip pocket holster that conceals it beautifully, and also keeps it handy for ready access). It has great stopping power with hollow points. Its also pretty accurate.... Perhaps the newer Tomcats perform better. I dont know. Im not that great a shot, and probably would be an even worse shot in a situation where I would need a firearm. I want to carry a pistol that I can rely on to keep fireing if I miss the first time. I dont feel that my Tomcat will do that, and is not reliable enough to bet my life on.
