The X-Treme S trigger is a distinguishing update from earlier Cheetah variants.

The Beretta 80X Cheetah in .380 ACP draws a mix of appreciation and practical scrutiny.

The classic Beretta Cheetah lineage appeals to a lot of buyers, and the black/gold finish gets consistent positive comments for aesthetics. Beretta's reputation for reliability translates into baseline confidence, and most owners report that the gun runs consistently.

Recoil management is a common praise point, particularly for newer shooters. The alloy frame absorbs .380 ACP recoil well, and the pistol is considered comfortable to shoot for extended sessions. The optics-ready feature is well-received by users who want to run a red dot.

The main criticisms center on size and weight. At 25 oz, some users find lighter .380 options on the market more practical for daily concealed carry. The capacity debate also comes up: 15+1 satisfies most, but a subset of buyers compare it to slightly larger pistols that offer more rounds.

Overall the 80X Cheetah is regarded positively for its build quality and practical feature set. The threaded barrel and optics cut are meaningful upgrades over the older Cheetah, and most owners who buy it for carry or range use come away satisfied.
