For all you Beretta fan boys

[ChannelCat]

Mostly this is for the folks who think the Cheetah is the cats meow. Don't start drooling but, Beretta is coming out with a upgraded Cheetah. Here it is, the new 80X Cheetah!

The 80x Cheetah reimagines the legendary platform, with a new sleek design and enhanced features. Ergonomically redesigned for modern day carry, the 80X Cheetah includes a smaller Vertec style grip profile, the X-treme S Double/Single trigger, skeletonized hammer, a 13+1 round capacity, and comes optics-ready out of the box.

Looks sweet. Stupid question, but is this a .380?

Yes.

 

[ChannelCat]

Yes.

Thanks! That 13 round mag is kind of nice.

The 92FS was my first firearm, fits my hands very well but I'm just not nearly as accurate with it as I am with the G17 or the CZ 75 Shadow. The trigger on the CZ is perfect in every aspect, IMO.
If I had to disassemble a pistol for cleaning or address a malfunction in a combat environment, the Beretta's design would make that an easy task.

IMHO, a CZ75 platform will outshoot any Beretta except for the custom shop versions.

I have an 84FS, 85FS, Browing BDA, and used to have a 92FS Vertec (one of the guns I kick myself for selling). The Vertec version has a 1911 style grip (18 degree angle) and is slimmer than the standard 92/96 grip - it was originally designed to help people with smaller hands. The new 80X has a Vertec grip. Personally, I am going to absolutely get the 80X when it is available in MD. Hopefully Beretta will push to get it on the idiotic handgun roster.

If double-stack Berettas are too girthy for your hands, consider one of these-

Looks like not on the roster.

Haven't even seen one available to order in a shop yet so maybe they can't even get a specimen to submit yet

I might have to be the volunteer.

I gotta say this 85 I picked up a while back fits my hand really well. Previous Beretta handgun exposure was only the 92 which is just too big for my grip. The 81 is double stack, only complaint is the slippery ass plastic Beretta grips which I'll switch out for Lok grips like my 85 has if I ever carry the 81.

I've kept a 92F beside my bead for decades. You can't beat a Beretta.

Addition to the roster should be relatively imminent. It's part of the batch reviewed at the March meeting and just waiting to be officially added to the roster.

On the Roster as of today.

Too bad it can't be found to buy. I bet it'll be pricey too for at least a while

I'm digging the bronze

Yeah, agreed. Fully.

Me. Want.

I’m not usually into colors other than black or stainless but that bronze is damn sexy.
