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.
