The Beretta 80X Cheetah is a modern revival of the classic 80 series pistols, offering a 13-round .380 ACP capacity with an optic-ready slide and ambidextrous controls. It features a DA/SA trigger with a frame-mounted safety/decocker that provides a shorter double-action pull when partially engaged. Competitors found it accurate and shootable, comparing favorably to older models like the CZ 82/83.
The Browning BDA .380 ACP, a classic pistol manufactured by Beretta, offers a high-quality, 'old school' design with a 13+1 capacity and DA/SA trigger. While similar to the Beretta Model 84, it features an enclosed slide and slide-mounted decocker. Its .380 ACP caliber provides manageable recoil, making it suitable for recoil-sensitive shooters, though its size is larger than modern micro-compacts. The pistol is praised for its aesthetics and craftsmanship, with market values ranging from $600 to over $1,000.
The Beretta Model 84 Cheetah in .380 ACP offers a classic, larger-frame alternative to modern micro-380s, boasting a 13+1 capacity and superior shootability. Despite its 1976 design, it remains a reliable and effective option for self-defense, especially when available as surplus. Its DA/SA trigger, alloy frame, and simple field stripping make it a practical choice for those prioritizing capacity and recoil management.
