Trying to do range sessions of a hundred or more rounds at a time with a Beretta Tomcat when you only have the one seven-round magazine.
Load seven rounds in the magazine, pop the barrel up and load an eighth round in the chamber, fire one shot double-action and then try and remember to count rounds because the Tomcat really doesn't like being dry-fired and the manual has a sternly worded admonition against it right there on Page 10.
So you have a pistol that doesn't like being dry-fired, but has no mechanism to hold the slide open after the last shot in the mag is fired. Outstanding engineering there, Giuseppe.
At any rate, to shoot up all the ammo in the picture required going through this tedious process fifteen times.
Whee!
