About the Beretta 80X Cheetah .32 ACP
The Beretta 80X Cheetah .32 ACP is a .32 ACP chambering of the 80X Cheetah, a blowback-operated DA/SA pistol on an aluminium Vertec-style frame. It carries 12 rounds in Model 81-pattern magazines behind a 3.9-inch barrel, weighs about 25 ounces empty, and keeps the 80X's optics-ready slide. The mild cartridge makes it one of the softest-shooting full-size carry pistols on the market.
The .32 ACP Cheetah is a direct descendant of the Model 81, a 1970s Italian police pistol - Beretta simply kept the magazine pattern, so half-century-old mags still drop straight into the new gun.
