Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380
The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 represents a significant evolution in the storied Cheetah lineage, merging a classic alloy-framed platform with modern tactical enhancements. Chambered in .380 ACP, this pistol is engineered for shooters who demand precision, reliability, and an ergonomic shooting experience. The Tactical Bronze finish provides a distinct, non-reflective appearance while offering enhanced corrosion resistance. As a direct descendant of the legendary Beretta 84 series, the 80X Cheetah delivers a proven operating system with substantial upgrades to the slide serrations, grip texture, and trigger geometry.
Overview
The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 is a compact, semi-automatic pistol designed for defensive use and range performance. It features a 13+1 round capacity in a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, making it an ideal concealed carry option for those who prefer a heavier, more controllable platform than polymer alternatives. The Tactical Bronze variant includes an optics-ready slide, an integral accessory rail, and a combat-style trigger guard undercut for a higher grip. This model is a direct market response to shooters seeking a modernized, steel-and-alloy pistol in the .380 ACP caliber without sacrificing the classic Beretta feel.

The trigger system has been redesigned with a shorter reset and a reduced pull weight compared to previous Cheetah models.

It appeals to those who appreciate the Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical Bronze 380 as a range companion or a primary concealed carry pistol for environments where deeper concealment is beneficial.
