Overview

Beretta developed the 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 as a purpose-built carry pistol that bridges the gap between vintage reliability and modern shootability.

The pistol features an ambidextrous safety, a Picatinny rail for accessory mounting, and a redesigned grip texture that ensures a secure hold even with wet hands. Unlike earlier Cheetah models, the 80X incorporates a dovetailed front sight for easier replacement and a threaded barrel for suppressor compatibility. The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 ships with three 13-round magazines, giving users ample capacity for a pistol in its class.
