Tisas Fatih B380 Pistol

SDS Imports and Tisas USA are bringing one of Tisas’ original products to the United States, the .380 ACP Fatih pistol.

The .380 ACP chambered Fatih pistol is a Turkish-produced version of the Beretta Model 84 Cheetah, one of Beretta’s iconic blowback pistols. The Tisas Fatih B380 is a classically styled version with wooden stocks and a black cerakote finish. Like the original Beretta Model 84 Cheetah (and the current Beretta 80X Cheetah), the Tisas Fatih B380 also makes use of a 13-round double stack magazine and is dimensionally identical to the Beretta. Tisas set out with the intention of making the B380 a faithful clone from the start, so this also means that Beretta Cheetah holsters should work with the Tisas Fatih.

The .380 ACP cartridge itself has a lot in common with the 9mm, save for a slightly shorter case and that it’s typically loaded with bullets that weigh between 85 to 100 grains, as opposed to the 9mm’s 115 grain to 160-grain projectiles. The .380 ACP is a product of John Moses Browning’s intellect and in many ways, it resembles his .45 ACP case design, albeit scaled down for a shorter length and a .35 caliber diameter bullet. In a practical sense, the .380 ACP does offer the shooter an overall milder “9 mm /.35 caliber” pistol cartridge and can be ideal for newer shooters or those who have a higher sensitivity to noise and recoil.
