The 80X Cheetah is a compact .380 ACP pistol with a 13-round capacity and a DA/SA hammer-fired action. At 25 oz unloaded with a 3.9-inch barrel, it's on the heavier end for a .380 but the weight helps absorb recoil. The single/double-action setup means the first shot has a longer, heavier pull from the hammer down, while subsequent shots run single-action.

Features 

The X-Treme S trigger has a clean break that works well for single-action fire. Front sights are interchangeable, which lets the owner swap in different height or color options. The decocker/safety on the frame allows safe carry with a round chambered. The reversible magazine release accommodates left-handed shooters, and the Picatinny rail accepts lights and lasers. 
 

Usage 

This gun fits well for concealed carry or home defense where .380 ACP is an acceptable caliber choice. The 13-round capacity is above average for the caliber. The hammer-fired DA/SA action takes more practice to master than a striker-fired design, which is worth considering for newer shooters.

Owners of the Beretta 80X Cheetah tend to focus on its looks and reliability. The tungsten finish draws positive comments for its durability and appearance — it does stand out compared to standard black or stainless options. Beretta's reputation for reliable function carries over here, with most owners reporting smooth, consistent operation.

The compact size gets praised for everyday carry. On the other hand, some shooters raise the caliber question — .380 ACP has less energy than 9mm and that comes up when people compare it to other compact carry options. A few also note the magazine capacity, which some feel falls short relative to competing .380s.

Ergonomics split opinion. Many find it comfortable, but some point out that the grip size isn't ideal for larger hands. Aftermarket support is thinner than for higher-volume pistols, which comes up when owners look for holsters or accessories specific to this model.
