FEATURES
Beretta introduces the 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze, a modernized take on its classic .380 platform that combines improved control with contemporary features.
Built for defensive use and range versatility, it comes equipped with a factory-installed single-port compensator and a threaded barrel to help tame recoil and muzzle rise, making the pistol quicker and more manageable in rapid fire.
The optics-ready slide supports red-dot integration, while the Xtreme-S double/single-action trigger, paired with a skeletonized hammer, delivers a crisp break and a short reset for improved accuracy.
A Vertec-style frame with LOK G10 grip panels enhances ergonomics and control, complemented by a frame-mounted safety and an integrated Picatinny rail for accessories. The sighting system pairs a fiber-optic front with a serrated rear for quick alignment.
Finished in a distinctive bronze finish, the pistol ships with three 15-round extended magazines, rounding out a compact platform built for performance.
ZOOMING OUT
If you want the ultimate 80-series pistol from Beretta, this is it. I don’t think there’s much you could do to this pistol that Beretta hasn’t already done. Shooting a comped pistol with an optic, chambered in .380, has to be a blast.
