Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380

The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 brings a modern edge to a classic compact platform. This pistol blends the trusted, soft-shooting characteristics of the .380 ACP cartridge with contemporary ergonomics and a distinctive tactical bronze finish. If you appreciate a handgun that feels balanced in the hand and offers reliable performance without the snappiness of smaller calibers, this Cheetah is worth a close look.

Overview

Beretta revived the Cheetah series with a clear goal: update the beloved 80-series for today’s shooter. The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 is the result. It retains the open-slide design and slim profile that made the original a favorite for concealed carry and range use, but adds modern grip texturing, an optics-ready slide, and an improved trigger. The tactical bronze finish is not just cosmetic; it provides a durable, low-glare surface that holds up well to holster wear and regular handling. Chambered in .380 ACP, this pistol delivers manageable recoil while retaining enough stopping power for personal defense.

Features & Specs

This isn’t your grandfather’s Cheetah. Beretta focused on upgrades that matter for shooters who train regularly. The grip angle and texture have been redesigned for a more natural point of aim and positive purchase, even with sweaty or gloved hands. The slide is now optics-ready, accepting common micro red dot footprints directly. The trigger pull is smoother and lighter than previous generations, aiding accuracy during rapid strings of fire.

• Caliber: .380 ACP (9x17mm) with a 13+1 magazine capacity
• Action: Single-action / double-action with a manual safety and decocking lever
• Barrel: 3.8-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, finished in the tactical bronze coating
• Slide: Open-top design with front and rear cocking serrations and an optics-cut plate
• Frame: Lightweight aluminum alloy frame with an integral accessory rail
• Controls: Reversible magazine release, extended slide catch, and an ambidextrous safety

The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 ships with two 13-round magazines, a cleaning kit, and a lockable hard case. The overall length comes in at 6.8 inches, making it easy to conceal without sacrificing sight radius.

Who It’s For

This pistol suits a few distinct types of shooters. It is an excellent choice for someone who wants a compact pistol with low recoil for home defense or concealed carry, especially if they have hand strength issues or arthritis that makes shooting 9mm uncomfortable. It also appeals to collectors who appreciate the Cheetah lineage but want a gun they can actually shoot regularly without worrying about parts availability or outdated ergonomics.

• Concealed carriers who prioritize a slim, lightweight gun that is comfortable to carry all day
• Newer shooters looking for a reliable, easy-to-shoot first pistol for training and range practice
• Beretta enthusiasts who want the classic Cheetah aesthetics with modern features like an optics cut and a better trigger

The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 also works well as a backup gun for law enforcement or security work, given its capacity and reliability.

• Range practice: The soft recoil and smooth trigger make for long, enjoyable sessions without fatigue
• Home defense: The accessory rail allows for a light or laser, and the 13-round magazine gives you solid capacity
• Backup carry: The slim profile and reliable DA/SA action make it a natural choice for a BUG role
