Beretta 80X Cheetah

[Mr.W.]

Currently, I do not own a .380 ACP pistol. Considering the current advancements in ammunition, this offering has piqued my interest considerably. What say you?

I’d get a Girsan MC14.

I used to have a Beretta Cheetah in 380. It was a good performing pistol, with less recoil than a 9mm. If you have a need for it, I would say go for it.

My foremost desire to handle this pistol relates to my respect for the 92.

So, I’ve got a few Berettas, including an original 84 as well as a Browning BDA (Beretta 84 imported with Browning roll marks).

I’ve handled a MC14, but haven’t shot one.

For half the price…the only big bonus the Beretta has is a nicer finish. As far as trigger, smoothness of operation…it’s a wash.

I bought it in November. It is very accurate and easy to shoot.
And so beautiful in bronze...

I picked up the light Green frame 80x, also last November. I also like the Bronze, but the LGS only had the one model. Nice pickup Rvinson

Wow ! Beautiful Green! Did you get the case with the pistol ?
I was hopping to get the case with mine, but the first series were out of stock..

Yes, it came with the case too. Here are some pictures of the 80x while in the case. It’s the first and only 380 I own to date.

Thanks, yeah it really caught my eye down at the LGS. It’s probably why it’s my first 380

I have an older 85FS. Nice gun, but frankly there are other 380s that I like a lot better. For DA/SA I prefer the Walther PP series guns. My favorites are the Colt .380 Government and Mustang. Mini 1911s fit me to a "T". When I carry a .380, most of the time its a Mustang. Sig and Kimber makes their own versions of the Mustang. But the Colt is the original and usually a bit cheaper. RIA also has their "Baby Rock" pistols that I hear very good things about.

Honestly, I just don't care for the looks of the new Cheetah.

I have the old 85FS. I love the looks and feel. I can appreciate the improvements, but I prefer the older ones. I have a Springfield 911 in .380 which is for summer shorts carry. I like the .380 round, not the prices of them so much. From a money standpoint, the 9mm is more practical.
