Beretta 84FS Cheetah: Shoot with the Greatest of Ease

Beretta 84 for Self Defense

The Beretta 84FS Cheetah is a .380 chambered pistol with a double stack magazine that holds 13+1 rounds. Basically, it is a scaled-down 92 with all the controls in the exact position. The 84FS is a pistol that is easy to shoot and ideal for personal defense.

It has features deserving of your hard-earned money, a pistol that makes every “bang” worth every buck.

It has an overall length of 6.8″ and weighs 1.46 pounds. Beretta 84FS grips are made from polymer plastic but there are walnut versions as well.

2. Ease of Use and Performance

The Beretta 84FS Cheetah is an attractive pistol. It is a firearm very easy to shoot, thanks to its ergonomic design.

It feels like and fits what a pistol this size should feel. You can switch the safety simply with your thumb.

Also, you can still feel the recoil but it is slightly less if you're going to compare it to a 9mm. This is an accurate and controllable handgun.

3. Pros and Cons

The Beretta 84FS is a very snappy gun; pretty awesome to shoot. It has a nice recoil and fits my hands perfectly.

The design is of high quality. It is lightweight and great for concealed carry.

The performance is also unquestionable. The only downside of this handgun is the price.

This Cheetah might break the bank a little bit, but who says quality comes at a low price?
