Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380

If you have been looking for a compact pistol that blends old-world Italian craftsmanship with modern defensive features, the Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 deserves a close look. Chambered in .380 ACP, this pistol revives the classic Cheetah lineage with updated ergonomics, an optics-ready slide, and a durable bronze Cerakote finish. It is a natural fit for shooters who appreciate a metal-frame pistol but want contemporary performance upgrades.

Overview

The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 represents Beretta’s effort to modernize the iconic Cheetah series without losing its soul. The frame is an aluminum alloy, keeping weight manageable for all-day carry, while the slide features front and rear cocking serrations for positive manipulation. The bronze finish is consistent across metal surfaces, giving the pistol a subdued, professional look. The barrel is 3.8 inches long, and the overall profile is slim enough to conceal comfortably. This is not a retro reissue; it is a functional evolution of a proven platform.

Features & Specs

Beretta equipped the 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 with several upgrades that matter at the range and on the belt. The trigger is a single-action/double-action design with a lighter, smoother pull than previous Cheetah models. The slide is cut to accept Shield RMSc-pattern micro red dots, making it easy to add an optic. The grip texture is aggressive without being abrasive, and the front sight is fiber optic for quick acquisition in low light.

• Caliber: .380 ACP with a 13+1 round capacity using flush-fit magazines
• Barrel length: 3.8 inches with a 1:10 right-hand twist rate
• Overall length: 6.8 inches; weight: approximately 24 ounces unloaded

Additional specs include a manual thumb safety, a loaded chamber indicator, and a lanyard loop at the base of the grip. The trigger pull weight is roughly 5.5 pounds in single-action, which is crisp with a short reset. The frame rail is a proprietary dovetail, but Beretta includes a rail adapter for standard accessories if needed. The magazine release is reversible for left-handed shooters.

• Optics-ready slide with RMSc footprint and included mounting plate
• Durable bronze Cerakote finish over a stainless steel barrel
• Double-stack magazine design for increased capacity in a compact frame

Who It’s For

The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 is ideal for the shooter who wants a metal-framed pistol for concealed carry or home defense but prefers the lower recoil and controllable nature of .380 ACP. It also suits collectors who value the Cheetah lineage but want a gun they can actually run hard. If you are someone who enjoys tinkering with optics and appreciates a factory-ready slide, this saves you the cost and hassle of aftermarket milling. It is also a strong choice for shooters with smaller hands who find double-stack 9mm grips too bulky.

• Designed for concealed carry with a slim profile and rounded edges
• Suitable for shooters who prefer a single-action trigger for precision work
• Works well for left-handed users thanks to the reversible magazine release
