Beretta 80X Cheetah .380 ACP 3.9″ Bbl Black 10rd Pistol J80XBLK10

Just received mine at Cabela’s yesterday and took it to the range today. To clear up some internet confusion, the slide is not as easy to rack as the S&W EZ, but it is easier than the previous model 84. There is also a lot of chatter about a cocked & locked position on the safety. There is no such position. If you push-up to decock the hammer, push past the initial resistance until the hammer falls just like the manual says. This guns feels great in the hand. It is extremely accurate and reliable. Perceived recoil is much less than the 84 series. Mine also functioned flawlessly with my model 84 magazines. I have several of the Beretta series 80 guns and this one is the best.

I own 7 other Berettas and love them all but my new Cheetah is officially my favorite! It fits perfectly in my palm, is easy to shoot and I love that it’s built for us ladies :)

The new Beretta 80X Cheetah is awesome. It handles well and is very accurate. I've put about 75 rounds through it so far and it has performed flawlessly. I've used Blazer Brass 95gr FMJ, Aguila 95gr FMJ and Winchester white box 95gr flat tip FMJ. It fired all of them without any issues. The Blazer seems to be most accurate so far. Tight 1" to 2" groups at 7 yards are fairly easy if I do my part. The magazines are a bit tough to load since they are new but, using a loader makes things easier. This gun feels so good in the hand because it's all metal and has a little extra weight compared to other polymer frame 380 pistols. In other words, it feels like a real gun. It's making me seriously reconsider adding any more plastic guns to my collection. You could say it feels like a small version of the model 92X or M9A3. Very cool gun!

In reassembly, lever would not lock back in place. CABELLAS SAID NOT THEIR PROBLEM, go see a gun smith. At range, magazine release button was stuck and would not work. Had to see a gun smith again. Magazine springs so strong can only load 10 rounds, not the promised 13. When working properly, good gun, very accurate, comfortable grip. Would I buy again, No.

Picked up my 80x last week, and thanks to Cabelas for supporting vets and the military. I put about 150 rounds down range without issues. It's very accurate and it has a very good trigger. I especially like the half-cock position. When you drop the hammer with the safety, the hammer and trigger are at half-cock. The double action trigger stroke is reduced quite a bit. The single action trigger is also very good. +P rounds have a bit of snap, but nothing major.

A versatile pistol best suited as a backup concealed carry weapon, perfect for my needs when holstered in either a shoulder holster or my offhand holster. It holds almost double the ammo capacity as most other .380s with 13+1.

Purchased this pistol for my wife as the slide is much easier to cycle and the pistol is more slanted toward shooting than concealment. Excellent Beretta quality and great iron sights, although I plan to install a red dot sight as soon as Beretta releases the mounting plates. My 16 year old grand-daughter fired this pistol as her first time and had a very respectable group at 25 yards. I have a mddel of the first Cheetah pistols and the new one is much improved.
