Key Features
- Threaded Barrel for Suppressor Use — WHY IT MATTERS: Run suppressed without swapping barrels. The 4.40″ black barrel is factory-threaded (½×28) so you can mount a can or compensator right away. Great for quiet range sessions or reduced recoil in a compact package.
- Vertec-Style Grip Profile — WHY IT MATTERS: The slimmer, more vertical grip fits a wider range of hand sizes — especially shooters who found the original 80-series too thick. The beavertail prevents slide bite, and the blue aluminum frame keeps weight down while feeling solid.
- Optic-Ready, Serrated Slide — WHY IT MATTERS: The slide is cut for micro red dots (RMSc footprint) and has aggressive serrations front and rear. You get a clear sight picture with or without an optic, and the serrations make press checks or racking easy even with sweaty hands.
- X-treme S Double/Single Trigger & Skeletonized Hammer — WHY IT MATTERS: The trigger breaks clean at around 4.5–5 lbs in single action, with a shorter reset than previous Cheetah models. The skeletonized hammer speeds up lock time, helping you stay on target for faster follow-ups.
- Picatinny Rail for Lights/Lasers — WHY IT MATTERS: The integral rail lets you mount a weapon light or laser without adapters. This is a game-changer for a carry piece that also pulls nightstand duty — low-light target ID is non-negotiable.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for the EDC enthusiast who wants a soft-shooting 380 with modern features. It’s ideal for shooters who appreciate the Cheetah lineage but need an optic-ready, suppressor-ready platform. If you carry appendix or strong-side and want a slim, reliable 10+1 with a threaded barrel, the 80X Tactical fits your lifestyle. It’s also a great choice for those with hand strength issues — the Vertec grip and lighter recoil make it easy to shoot all day.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Factory-threaded barrel, optic cut included, excellent trigger, Vertec grip fits most hands, Picatinny rail, two extended mags, reliable Beretta build quality.
- Cons: The 380 ACP cartridge limits terminal performance compared to 9mm — this is a trade-off for lighter recoil and smaller frame dimensions. Also, the blue finish may show holster wear faster than a Cerakote option.

The Beretta 80X Tactical is a unique option in this space — it’s the only 380 with a threaded barrel and Vertec grip at this price point. The Zev and Agency guns are premium 9mm striker-fired platforms, but they lack the classic Beretta action and softer recoil of the 380.
FAQ
Does the Beretta 80X Cheetah Tactical come with a suppressor?
No, the pistol ships with the threaded barrel and a thread protector, but no suppressor. You’ll need to purchase one separately (½×28 thread pitch).
Is the optic cut compatible with Trijicon RMR?
The slide is cut for the RMSc footprint. To mount an RMR (which uses the larger RMRcc or full-size RMR), you’ll need an adapter plate. We recommend checking with your gunsmith or optic manufacturer for compatibility.
What magazines are included?
Two extended 10-round magazines are included. They fit flush with the grip and provide a full hand hold. Standard 7-round flush-fit mags from earlier Cheetah models are also compatible but will not extend the grip.
Can I carry this pistol concealed?
Yes. With a 4.40″ barrel and slim frame, it’s easy to conceal with a quality IWB holster. The Vertec grip helps reduce printing, and the beavertail adds comfort when carrying strong-side or appendix.
