Beretta 80X Cheetah

With almost five centuries of company history, generations of gun owners have trusted the Beretta name and their commitment to creating the finest firearms available. Beretta, has perfected modern manufacturing techniques and has multiple patents helping to secure Beretta as a leader in the modern firearm manufacturing industry. 

Beretta stays at the top of their game with innovation, and for 2023, that innovation has resulted in a reimagined and enhanced .380 ACP pistol, the 80X Cheetah. 

A modern take on a classic firearm, the 80X Cheetah is ergonomically designed to fit smaller hands but is also comfortable for larger hands, lending the firearm to ease in both practice and use. Designed for concealed carry, the 80X Cheetah  is comfortable to carry in a variety of different ways. 

A classy, stylish frame in black or premium bronze ia complimented with multi-tone controls. The launch edition, new for 2023, is presented in a matching leather case. 

The 80X Cheetah has a slide that is easy to rack, with enough serrations to grasp easily and is fitted with interchangeable sights to make target acquisition faster. 

Gripping the 80X Cheetah is made easier by the Vertec grip with exchangeable grip panels. There is also an enhanced beavertail to assist with acquiring a quick and clear grasp of the firearm and is long enough to help protect from slide-bites. 

A frame-mounted ambidextrous safety and reversible magazine release enable the operator to customize their shooting experience for either right or left-handed shooting. 

The 80X Cheetah has a lighter, skeletonized hammer and an adjustable trigger to help create consistent pull and enhanced accuracy.
