![Details on the NEW Beretta 80X Cheetah .380 Pistol [SHOT Show 2023]](/img/1.gif)
I have one of those in the double stack version and absolutely love it, this thing is wicked accurate!
I've tried about everything through it and I've had no issues with failure to feed or failure to fire. I use strictly Winchester Silvertips for carry and they're dead nuts accurate and those seem to have way more power than most any of the other 380 that I normally use.
I wouldn't get rid of this gun in a million years.
I have 15 $100 bills. Lmk...
Ya no thanks I've shot enough M9s nope no thanks
Have never really heard of a gun that isn't accurate.. just saying...
Watch out for the scammers on here ! No you did not win a gun from Eric ! Just scammers being pieces of shit .,
You have an 84 FS Cheetah. That is the double stack version. Almost identical to the Browning BDA double stack .380, which were also made by Beretta.
I just bought a used 85 BB with 5 magazines and I would bet a paycheck that the previous owner never fired the gun!
It’s extremely tight, and took it to the range today and I was so happy with the firearm!
Accurate, smooth recoil and With the walnut grips, it’s aesthetically pleasing!
I picked up an 84 BB last year and I love it, built great and shoots even better
Beretta makes some of the greatest quality firearms, the 92 and 84 are great.
I too have an 85F, I picked it up several years back for $400 and have never regretted that purchase! Since then, I have put Beretta wooden grips on it years ago because they make it look so much better! I forgot what they looked like with the black hard grips!
Like others have said, this is one that I will never let go of, my son will own it when I'm gone and it will still be a fine shootin piece of Beretta Art!
Have a surplus 85 bb and it functions perfect every time, easy to clean and is very accurate. Incredibly well made gun.
@Omar Slim Only had luck finding OWB would look on reddit forums
@omarslim3362 Gunner's custom holsters makes a kydex for this for $45. I just got one and it gets the job done.
I bought an 85FS in 2012 that was close to being brand new. When we go to the range, my friends all ask to shoot it and come away with the reaction of I need to get one. A lot of fun!
My father recently passed away and I have his old model 84BB not sure when it was made it’s a high polished stainless 13rd with beautiful non checkered wooden grips I don’t know much about these pistols but it’s a beautiful sweet shooting 380
To the best of my knowledge, beretta will send out batches of these guns every few years. I don't see it pop up in the dealer book super often
Interesting
You cab find them in Military surplus and LEO sales.
Surplus only from what I've seen. Where are you seeing these retail from Beretta?
@@joshuagibson2520 I haven't seen them in shops for a while, but I just assume they will do small batches of them. Similar to the cx4s production. I could be wrong though
I’ve shot just about every Beretta handgun and I love them all.
How does the arquebus do? 🙃
@@Jabberwockybird Lol I wish I could get my hands on one. I love muzzleloaders.
I have the 84FS. Bought it new when I turned 21, 21 years ago. Such a fantastic pistol. I'd love to have the 85FS too.
Have a BB model on the way. I have had a 32ACP model for a few years and love it. These are outstandning pistols that are made very well.
This seems like it would be my favorite plinking gun, and with Beretta styling, you can't beat it with a stick!
MY DAD HAS THIS GUN!!!! I LOVE THIS GUN SOO MUCH!!! this gun is what got me to simp for Beretta and also the M92FS
Was his double stack or single stack?
Got the 81 bb. Phenomenal gun
@@NittyGritty420 my dad's is a single stack .380 ACP with 8 round magazines

Have the 85FS. Love it. One of my favorite guns to show off. But impossible to rack. Could never carry it.
Also hated that weird sight. Had a gun smith drill a couple of pockets and made it into a 3 dot sight.
Take you time and put alot of rounds through it. I will get easier with more rounds! If yours is like mine was, it likely came from a European police depot and didn't see alot of rounds put through it.
I have put over 700 rounds through mine in the 4 years I have had it and its ALOT easier then when I first got it!
I love my G42 in .380. Fun and easy to carry , good Ameriglo sights, good magazine and holster options. My wife is not a big gun person but out of all my guns she loves shooting the G42 so I keep it.
I wouldn't mind having a model 81 at all. Lovely example of the gun maker's art.
I am curious to see how a 32 acp would be compared to 380. M81 would
be great to try out.
I have one of the Italian police trade in ones for like $209 a few years back. It was like never fired. It only had a few finish scuffs on the edges of the slide from bulk shipping crates. Despite being small the 32 acp seems like a decent defense caliber if you place your shots right. Rather have 9mm but decent little pistol.
I’ll second the 81 .32 having beautiful styling and build quality. I almost had a heart attack when I thought I had managed to leave it behind at an outdoor range. Several weeks later it was discovered at home where it had been misplaced … duh … lesson learned.
Mine was also an Italian police imported trade in. It arrived in lightly used and very well cared for condition. Maybe another batch will eventually hit our shores again. 🤞🏻
@@MrDjay46 Yeah, it would be nice to get more foreign pistols to come in bulk again. There has to be tons out there.
I have the 84F. 13+1 .380. Very accurate and 100% reliable. Not to mention it's a fun shooter. One advantage over most other .380s is with a longer barrel you get a little more velocity out of the "short 9".
i have the same pistol and i carry it all the time
The gun of Trinity in Matrix, in the famous scene " Dodge this".❤
Trinity had 2 in the Matrix. Perfect gun for the scenes they were in.
Perfect gun for women in movies.
These are great guns. I have several of them and so does my father. 81, 84, 85bb, 85fs chrome plated with wood grips. If you can find one in great condition for under $400, I would buy it. We use them as a fun range gun, but you could also concealed carry one and feel pretty well armed.
The 85 is an accurate, reliable, wonderfully concealable weapon.
84 owner here, seriously slept on IMO. Modern day 380 loads achieve standards. Has run every ammo type I’ve thrown at it. It’ll run great for years to come!
I have an 82 32 caliber double stack. It's a really good carry gun, small and light yet fits the hand really well and is super accurate. Great pistols these small berettas are
Have a 81BB and a Tomcat both in .32ACP. Love them. Shooting the Underwood Xtreme Defenders and there's enough penetration. Plus, there always on target with no recoil.
I am so great full that you have done a review on this pistol. I really like the cheetah series of pistols I know you are not a big beretta fan but the cheetahs are awesome.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻
Bersa is a great gun. I grew up with my .22lr at the age of 10 in Argentina.
The Thunder Plus is a good one.
Was kind of surprised how much the Army personnel dog the M9. Carried it in Saltwater environment for over 23 years of 31 of my service. Never had an issue. Perhaps the fact we’d come back to the ship or station and clean them, kept it totally reliable. Love the M9, but also loved the 1911A1. Only one I didn’t care for was the SIG 229 the CG adopted before I retired. I love SIGs but didn’t at all like our 229’s trigger.
I love the 84BB, good capacity and feels like a dream in the hand, I wish Beretta would make some sleek classic designs like this again, smaller than the 92FS but a bit bigger than the 84 and the cheetahs. Kind of like the Sig P210, no rail, just something classy for fun.
Awesome video. 380 is always a fun day shooting. Forget the pizza.. Sausage and meatball calzone
Made me like Beretta's a little more! Great stuff Eric!🤘
According to Beretta, the FS denotes the addition of the automatic firing pin block. I'm sure they also added the magazine disconnect on those models too (yuck). On the full size Beretta 92FS, they added a slot in the underside of the slide and an oversize hammer pin which rides in that slot to prevent the slide from flying off and hitting the shooter if it ever broke.
BTW, one of the coolest Berettas I've ever shot was the 87 Target, which is the single action only .22LR with the extended barrel and frame and top accessory rail.
60's-80's Berettas, 70 series, 80 series, and 90 series, are among the very best Pistols of all time.
I really love your vids dude. You don’t know how much it helps me.
Also something everyone tends to forget is that those Beretta Cheetahs are made in the Italian facility of high quality and production/import costs are higher. It may not be possible for Beretta to make those pistols with the cost now. Thats why a lot of these gun companies have production facilities in the USA now like CZ, Beretta, and Glock.
Anemic round? Depends on what ammo you choose. Hotter 380 rounds are moving out at 1100 ft/sec.. That is the same speed as standard/target/white box 9mm.. and a 90 or 95 gr slug is just a hair lighter/same diameter as the 115gr 9mm. A properly ammo'd .380 is a viable (near 9mm) defense choice.
Been carrying a 13+1 double-stack Cheetah for 20 yrs. Only allowed FMJ so more than enough power
Great review Eric. I just picked up an 84F a couple of days ago (double stack 13 round mags). It even came with a spare mag. Took it straight to the range, and put 50 or so rounds through it. It's everything you say it is. I even found an IWB leather holster in my "bag O holsters" that fit.
@@vig6321 The one I got was tagged at $650, used in very nice condition. I got it for a few bucks less. Tisas also makes a clone of the 84BB that sells for about half that NIB if you can find one.
OK .
From now on ,my hands gun is Beretta 85 BB ,its forever😊
Pizza is American 🤣
But yes, the 85 is a slice of Italian awesome!!!
I bought the Bersa Thunder 380 plus based off your recommendation it works great it holds plenty of rounds but the magazines are very hard to find and 40 bucks a piece when you can find them
So are the factory 8 rounds!
I had one of these back in the day!!! Wanted the 84 but just couldnt get one!!!
Great gun!
I bought my 85F for $450 and I don't regret it. It is like new condition and well worth the price.
I have a 85FS and a 84BB. Most of the time I carry the 85fs owb but still concealed. The 84bb uses the same holster but being a double stack (newer mags are 14 rounds) it is heavier. I always carry a spare magazine no matter which pistol I am carrying. Having watched more .380 ammo testing videos than I can count, I am confident that the .380 will stop the threat with less possibility of over penetration should the need occur. The longer barrel of either of these pistols compared to most .380's of today gives a much better chance of proper expansion of hollow point ammunition.
I’m impressed with the accuracy. Makes it interesting. 😇
I owned a Beretta LTT compact, and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Its single stage was the flattest I've ever felt, but was at like 8 pounds. I sold it and picked up a shadow 2 instead. Much happier for it
In Italy some police forces are issued this gun as a ccw option when they are off duty. Is a great little gun in my opinion.
I owned a Model 84 with a double stack magazine, 13 + 1 capacity, and it was an awesome range gun. To me it's only downfall was being a large gun for the 380 ACP. It was very accurate, and just a fun gun to shoot.
Thanks Eric
Great gun, especially for summer when you're grilling and don't have to worry about people wearing heavy clothing. The double stack is only about .1 inch wider in the grip though and is 13 rd mag. The 32acp double stack is only 12 rds for some odd reason.
I have a 950 that I got from my grandmother, a 81 in 32acp, a 84fs double stack and a 92fs. Beretta is not the top end. but they are solid pistols.
Only problem with the Beretta 85 is keeping them in stock. Its in the catalog but I dont think they been making any more new ones. for quite awhile now.
Barry would be (no is) so proud of you dude. I am.
Dang, you guys have been putting out some great vids lately!
As an Italian who loves Berettas, I also want some pizza or a calzone ❤️😂
"Dodge this" - Trinity with tha Cheetah
Beretta is located in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy - the Italian Alps. Gets cold up there near SwiSSy-land
This is a pistol I've been interested in for a long time. Love it, like a Beretta M9 mini me. 😃
The model 84 is the double stack. Sweet pistols. I have the model 81 double stack 32ACP and carry it often using Underwood ammo with Lehigh extreme defense bullets. Never felt I was under prepared 🎯
I have the 85fS in satin nickel that I bought new in 2007-8. Wood grips came with this model. I was unaware that any were manufactured in Inox. Afaik, the choice back then was blued or satin nickel.
Great guns.
I’ve been drooling over this gun for awhile now.. can’t way till I have some extra funds.
Gen. George S. Patton's favorite "social" gun was a Colt Mustang .380. Rick Perry, when he was Governor of Texas, shot a coyote with his Ruger .380 while out walking his daughter's dog.
Thanks for the video, Enjoyed it
That would be an excellent night stand gun. For a 90 year old Italian man.
Hold up, it has the thumb safety and a decocker? Why isn't this in their 92 series? People wanted that for years, it sent customers to Taurus.
I have, forever now, wished for a 92 or 226 in .380. I want a full sized double stack .380. Just for giggles because .22 feels too light. .380 in full size like that would be a great first time shooter gun. The step up from .22 to 9mm is almost too big for new shooters and is scary.
Hey, new look in the shooting range.
Re barrel this in 30 super Carry bring a new twist to a old classic
Man I shoulda bought one when classic firearms had them in stock for months but I didn't but I just seen there back on stock
I have an 85FS, love it. Prefer the single stack. I believe it's still being made, but they switched to an alloy frame.
I always liked this model more than 84fs, this model is just designed for a small palm of the hand
I carry a beretta 81bb in 32 acp everyday i love that gun
You gotta try the browning 1911-380. Insanely light and insanely light recoiling. Seriously, the 4 1/4” barreled version weighs 25% less than the 85FS and feels like a 22.
I was fortunate to find one at my local dealer, brand new 😁
I always felt that the F.I.E Titan, Tanfoglio GT380, or whatever you want to call it was a copy of the Berretta 85.
Yeah, a way cheaper version but still reliable.
I saw a video from lucky gunner. It does in fact come in double stack magazines.
Good intel TY Beretta always a Winner
4got 2 ask Taurus made a 380 similar to that one are they still around now?
Atomic Ammo, makes some 95gns...that ave approx 248 fpe at the muzzle, and they move out the bore pretty fast....Atomic Ammo is produced in Arizona..also Ft. Scott makes some pretty high power spun copper ammo or the .380acp..but again, no matter what you're using for carry, where the bullet goes, is the important factor...
Great training Gun…….
Beretta still have the 81/84/85 on their homepage as current production. As far as I know you only need a barrel and mag to switch between .32 and .380.
I have an 81bb and an 85bb and swap the complete slide assemblies no problem with corresponding mags and then have essentially an 82bb and 84bb.
Good shooting , Thank you
nice i own a model 81
I don’t have or want a 380 but that looks like a really nice gun great vid brother!
I own a BDA,very similar to the Cheetah,
But double stack,13 bullets + 1 in the chamber!Still use it as an edc!
Beautiful pistol,can you review it?
The "S" stands for "Something".
Best 380
Nutin but a barrel and a mag and it can shoot 32. You can find more info on the beretta forum on the 80 series parts compatibility and swaps.
I have a 85f and I picked up a 81 barrel for it so I can also shoot 32acp out of it.
Yo how did I miss this one lmao😂
Love this gun!
I really like my cheetah in 32acp that I got in the beginning of covid for 210
No problem man, we Italians are as proud of our food as of our guns
Complaining about the single-stack isn't really a good criticism for this pistol. Beretta released a whole bunch of different versions of the 8* series. The 84 FS, for example, is identical to this one in every way, but it has a 13+1 capacity.
I have a Beretta 85bb on my hip right now
The only negative feature is the slide mounted safety/decocker. I despise any pistol with anything mounted on the side of the slide. Dad's P89 is a great shooting pistol and is as reliable as death and taxes,but every time I rack the slide, I manage to hurt my hand. That really sucks!With enough rounds down range, I could adopt a technique that would work well for my personal shooting style, but I think that I'll just stick to my 4" 1911 45 EDC.I've actually customized her to fit me personally, although the looks have sorta went downhill. I have a thin factory wood grip panel on the left side and a lava snake pattern thick rounded grip panel on the right side that I hand fitted myself. Top that off with grip tape from the back of the ejection port to the rear of the slide (hand fitted with scissors of course) and you get the picture. But anything on the receiving end Is going to have a very, very bad day!
Great pistol, though I prefer the 84F with the double-stack magazine. The 92 series pistols are too big and heavy for regular concealed carry IMO, and don't have the frame mounted decocker/safety. A much better impact weapon than any polymer frame pistol, and very good stopping power with the Underwood Ammo .380 ACP +P 68gr. Xtreme Defender load with the FTM bullet. The only reason not to use it is if you have low hand strength, in which case the S&W M&P 380 Shield EZ is a better way to go IMO if you cannot find a [discontinued] Beretta Model 86 with the tip up barrel so you don't have to operate the slide to load it.
If the .380 is good enough for "Bond! James Bond." It is certainly good enough for me.
Would be better like a thunder plus double stack? You mean the 84?
Yo Eric does the SDI have any abroad classes... im from South Africa and id love to get into gunsmithing... ps i love this channel been watching for 18 years old... im 25 now❤
I wish they had a double stack 9 in that same size with the manual safety
