About This Firearm
The Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical is a full-size DA/SA .32 ACP built for range shooting and home defense. Beretta still makes it. It arrives optics-ready with a barrel threaded 1/2x28, so a dot and a can are both bolt-on jobs.
The frame is aluminum in black Cerakote under a steel slide in black nitride, the grip is Beretta's Vertec profile in polymer with the safety mounted on the frame, and a Picatinny rail runs under the dust cover for a light.
If you're cross-shopping, the Beretta 30X Tomcat is the pocket .32 in the same catalog, 5.4 inches long and 14.5 oz, with no thread and no optic cut. A Walther PPK has an MSRP of $969, holds seven rounds over a 3.3-inch barrel in 6.1 inches of all-steel pistol, with no rail and nothing for an optic.

Strengths & Limitations
- Cerakote on the aluminum frame and nitride on the steel slide are both treated surfaces, so there is no bluing anywhere to rub through.
- The grip is the Vertec profile, the slimmer straight-backstrap shape in Beretta's lineup, which brings the trigger closer to a shorter finger.
- The safety sits on the frame instead of the slide, so it stays still while the slide cycles and ends up in the same place every time.
- It is a DA/SA pistol, so the long first pull and the short ones after it have to be trained as two different triggers.
- It is a full-size pistol, so the .32 chambering cuts recoil without making it easier to conceal.
