The Beretta 80X Cheetah is a modernized take on the classic 80 Series, featuring an aluminum frame and steel slide with a blowback operation. Key updates include an accessory rail, improved checkering, and a Vertec-style backstrap, while removing the magazine disconnect safety. Its DA/SA trigger is praised as one of the best factory options, and it's optics-ready, though the blowback design is noted as snappier than locked-breech alternatives.
The Beretta 80X Cheetah updates the classic 80-series with modern features like an optics-ready slide, Picatinny rail, and forward serrations. It retains the 13+1 .380 ACP capacity and offers an improved double-action trigger. While the safety mechanism shifts from cocked-and-locked to a decocker/safety lever, the 80X aims to blend classic aesthetics with contemporary functionality for concealed carry.
