My Aunt has a Beretta tip-up barrel pistol in 22 short.  Tiny little thing and a true pocket gun.  I shot a Tomcat in 32 acp a while back.  Even with the smaller caliber, it is a fat pistol compared to a lot of the newer 380's.  The advantage of those Beretta designs is they are all steel or alloy and work very well.  You could also just jump to the Beretta 84 or 85 in 380, but they are not as small.  The 84 has a 13 round mag, though I like the CZ 83 better.

My SIL has a Sig 238 in 380.  It is her every day carry gun.  She loves it.

I want one of the Beretta tip barrel Cheetas in .32 ACP.

The only 32 I see is the Tomcat.  I thought the Cheetah was the Beretta 85 in 380.  The Bobcat is 22 LR. 

The main sites I was looking at don't show it in stock, but on my phone it is hard to tell.

You are correct.  I used to own one.  Reliable, but large and heavy for a .380.

Cheetahs have been made in .22, .32, and .380.

The .32s were the Models 81 and 82.

Just as a data point, the Cabela's in Snohomish County had no Wildcat, not did I see any labels for it on the half-empty .22 LR ammo shelf.  I find it interesting that the local Cabela's is so often poorly-stocked with ammo and the Sportsmen's Warehouse 15 miles away has ample ammo supplies.
