Beretta Model 86 Cheetah : Tip Up Barrel Pistol
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- The Beretta Model 86 Cheetah is a .380 ACP Blowback design that has a tip-up barrel for ease of loading and cleaning. These are no longer in production and when you find one, they are expensive. Sought after by collectors, this is a beautiful pistol. Thanks to Stan for the loaner! Big thanks to Fiocchi USA for Supplying our ammunition! #BerettaCheetah #BerettaTipUpBarrel #380acp

I'll report you for NOT having a give away :)

Yeah, everyone and their mom is getting spammed with that crap, you'd think UA-cam would find a way to filter them out at this point.
I've blocked most of the key words the spammers are using and it's cleared out almost all of them. I've blocked over 150 spam channels.
@@sootch00 I tried write down about the solution by ThioJoe but my post seem to be 🙈🙉🙊
When you said Beretta has been in business for 500 years I laughed out loud for a second because it sounds like an exaggeration but it's true! Pretty crazy!
One advantage of the tip-up barrel not mentioned is that it can be unloaded and reloaded without having to worry about bullet setback after many rechamberings
It looks like brand new. Somebody loves that firearm.
Great looking pistol. Wow.
I'm not a user of .380, however I've always loved the look of the Beretta handguns, and the Cheetah's are some of the most handsome pistols around, along with the CZ 75 series of handguns. I really wish Beretta would re-introduce these handguns though, as I think they'd sell decently!
Agreed 👍 I have an M-9 and a,84FS
I’m not a drinker of beer but Samuel Adams has a great appeal to me. 🎉
They still manufacture them, but they are rarely imported new. It's mostly surplus
Yeah but that's a pretty big 380 considering all the little tiny ones like...
Pico,P238,Mustang, LCP, even the Bersa is still smaller than that

Hey Sootch I had a friend who served as a Sky Marshall on Israel's El Al Airlines.
He said they were issued Beretta Tip Up .22 pistols. They were trained extensively
to make headshots at long distances inside the airliner.
Yes so the round won't go through the aircraft or a window!!
@@enricomandragona163 Yes, that was the reason they were armed with .22 pistols. I am not sure they had frangible rounds that broke up on impact in the 70's or 80's.
He said they trained a lot and all became very good marksmen with the Beretta .22 pistol.
Thank you so much for sharing older and rarer models. Your depth of knowledge is impressive. Fun to see such beautiful classics. Cheers to the Patron who lent you this one!
Thanks Scott! There's something about these classic that are just cool.
Never saw the tip-up version (86) of the Cheetah 81 model! 😲Nice!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍😊
I worked at a gun shop 20+ years ago and passed on one of the M86 Cheetah's brand new in the box for $475 at the time. Been kicking myself about it to this day.
I bought mine in 95 for 360.00 and love this gun.
.... I am quite surprised at how great condition the pistol in this video is in... Every single one of these pistols I’ve ever seen has been very well used, but functional and reliable... Interesting pistol and great video 👍🇺🇸
A couple of things to note: The date code on the frame (BU) indicates this pistol was manufactured in 2004. That being said, not going to be a blued slide, but more likely a Bruniton finish. This would likely account for how this pistol is also in such great condition. Beretta makes a dang good pistol.
Love Beretta guns. This is an amazing example. Sure it is big for a 380 pistol, but I would take one of these over a S&W Shield EZ in 380 everytime! You have a great Beretta collection, sootch00!
Well it's worth a lot more than an EZ so who wouldn't 😉
I must have watched this video 6 times since its been uploaded. I hope to one day own one of these. Imo the best looking firearm ever
Pistol in perfect condition! Beautiful gun. 👍👍
Now get your hands on an Astra A-60. I use Cheetah mags as a base to mod them for use in A-60's. Both are that special weird mash up of features that you just can't get these days.
I can confirm what he said about the little Beretta model 21. It is one of the most tip-up barrel Berettas. 2:01
lmfao
That is a gorgeous handgun and your review 1st class as usual. Thank you so much
One of Beretta's true gems, really wish someone would bring the design back
The 1911 made a complete resurgence. The hi-power and ppk are on a similar path. Just give it time and our favorite guns from the 80s/90s will start to be remade and sold at a premium. Im waiting patiently on a p230 myself.
Sds imports makes one
Girsan mc12 or something
The Tomcat 3032 big brother! I’m drooling.
Just a note on most Beretta 80 Series pistols. You can easily remove the magazine disconnect feature. Beretta shows you how in the owners manual. They sometimes get an unfair rap regarding this issue in other reviews. I removed it from my magnificent 85f over 30 years ago and haven't put it back yet (which appears to be easy as well).
I have an original Blued model 84 B with the rounded trigger guard, double stack in .380. Holds 13 + 1. It's One of my favorite carry guns. I would love to have one of these 86's for my collection. I wish Beretta could make a 9 mm in EXACTLY the same size as the Cheetah series. It would take over the market. The perfect size carry gun & beautiful to boot. Love Beretta's.
Man sootch. I wish you wouldn’t have put this video out. I’ve been trying to find one of these for a couple years to make my beretta collection a little more complete . Now that everyone knows they exist I’ll never be able to find one especially at a half way decent price. Nice video as always. Thanks for putting a video out on this gun
Bought a Beretta M9 3 months ago 17yrs later after getting rid of the last 2 i had. Always loved Berettas.
If Beretta made one in 9mm Para, I'd have gotten one back in the 90's. Awesome design. Got a 21A in .25, love it. Had a Tomcat in .32, and it never fed right, so Beretta cut me a check.
No way to do a 9mm parabellum tip up barrel pistol its a feature only for non lock breach guns. The barrel its fixed and the slide should be super heavy to keep up with the the task of delaying the opening of the breach during fire.. Cheers.
I have a Mod 86 bought it brand new for my Daughter to shoot because at the time She was to young to rack the slide. The pop up barrel was perfect for her to use and learn on and the reduced recoil helped her a lot also. She is LEO now and shoots better than I do, but we still enjoy shooting this pistol from time to time. Thanks for this video sootch00 Be Safe
I think with its tip up barrel, it will do great for a more fragile hand with reduced recoil on a medium frame format. This one’s, I believe, good for concealed carry as well
it can be helpful. However some people with weak hands might have an issue with the DA trigger pull
What a treat! The model 86 is sweet, but including a the others, (especially the mouse guns) was a pleasant surprise!
Thanks for stopping by Brother
I just finally got one. Thing shoots good. Have 84fs cheetah and couple 81bb Berettas. It's definitely cool. Guess I got to get the rest of the cheetahs.
I'm no expert, but I am an enthusiastic collector! I love all their stuff!
How du you price
I have a 3032 Tomcat flip up barrel in .32 which is used for concealed but your 380 is pretty darn nice!
Have one still new in box unfired. Bought it for 400 dollars 5 years ago from an estate. Would love to shoot it but i just can't.
I bought one of these about 8 years ago, when I first saw it I knew I had to have it. The one thing I can’t bring myself to do is fire it, it’s just too darn nice to shoot.
You’re going to be excited about the new Girsan MC14T
I need to get a tomcat. Also, some may dismiss 32 ACP as a defense round, but if you load it up with European .765 Browning labeled rounds such as the Sellier & Bellot, they are loaded noticeably hotter.
Just FYI-The early Tomcats had a frame that would crack-especially if you used hotter than recommended loads. To beat that, you’d want an Inox model with the stainless steel frame.
Have the Tomcat in 32ACP. Great functioning gun, but it's like holding a firecrackers in your hand when it explodes when shooting it my pistol.
That was one of my first guns I bought, after the 92F. Only thing I don’t like about it is the trigger will not fire with the mag out. Only time I ever had a unwanted discharge was with this gun.😮 This was my carry gun for about 15 years, and I may go back to it as it’s a small gun that fits my large hand. Oh and the other thing is the round in the chamber will not eject if the mag is out😱
Why won’t it eject without a mag?
@@cesarsaavedra1051 you’ll have to ask Beretta about that
How did that unwanted discharge happen?
I've always admired the beretta cheetahs. My dad has one he keeps at his computer desk
I have owned my 86 fit about 8 years. When I picked it up the first time I fell in love. I also have a Bobcat and have owned a Tomcat. My wife has a nickel 84 and I did have a 85 but opened my mouth and sold it. Love the Berettas.
Colonial Williamsburg Williamsburg Virginia at the powder magazine there's a bunch of Beretta flintlock muskets that we use during the revolutionary war so he is right about being a very old company I think it's more like 600 years old but I could be mistaken
Wow. Last time I watched this channel I was dipping matches wrapped in tissue paper in wax to create a firestarter. Probably six years ago. Glad to see he’s still providing great content 👍🏻
I just sold one of these after having it for decades. Shocked at how much I sold it for compared to what I originally purchased it for. If beretta was smart they would reissue these since .380 is making a huge come back.
I remember being at a gun show in Denver back around 2004 and I held one of these Cheetah 86 tip up barrels in my hands , I fell in love with it ! It was selling new for $415 and I thought it was too much …. I soon realized what a mistake I had made by not buying it and I never could find another one for that price , and eventually not at all . I ended up buying a Cheetah 84FS some years later which I still have brand new in the box never fired ( the box has a sticker on it that says “ celebrating 💯 years , 100th Anniversary “ but there’s no markings on the pistol that says it’s an Anniversary series )
I think you’re right that they discontinued the Cheetah series though.
Still today I keep looking for one of these 86 tip up Cheetahs to show up at a gun show .
I always wondered how they worked I worked security at a apartment complex the landlord had a pistol for almost 20 years and never fired it so needed some help cleaning it checking if it still functioned at the time I had never seen a tip up barreled pistol so I never knew how it worked.
Glad to help out!
Cool you covered so many of the micros with tip-up barrels.
Bought a tomcat. Loving it. Thanks
Oh, I have an 84F too. Great lil' guns. ❤️
I didnt know they made a tip up 380. I really like these pistols, especialy the double stack 84. Tisas makes a beretta authorized copy of the 84 for under $400 new.
You had me at ‘Too Many Guns And Not Enough Funds’, but Beretta makes/made excellent .380 ACPs.
Yup bought two 86’s for my wife and I about 10 years ago for our old age when we can’t rack the slide. Paid $1000 each. Both were in new condition.
Sootch: "The Beretta 86 cheetah, let's check it out"
* Proceeds to show off his entire collection of Beretta pistols...😂🤣😁🤣😂😁🤣😂😁
My top 10 best semi-auto pistols list:
1 - Beretta 92FS
2 - SIG P226
3 - Glock 17
4 - HK P2000
5 - IWI Jericho 941
6 - CZ 75
7 - Ruger P95
8 - Springfield XD
9 - Browning HP-35
10 - Taurus PT-92
Does anybody here disagrees with me?
Sure. HK Vp9/40, HK P30, HK USP/P8 series, Hipower, Glock series, Beretta 90 series, Beretta 80 series, Walther PPQ/Q5 M1 series, CZ competition single actions & Sig classic series (original series not plastic).
I had two Baretta Minx .22 back in the 80s. Both of them went full-auto on me.
Beretta is my favorite manufacturer of them all, if someone was to ask me could I live with having nothing but Beretta's? I believe I could, I love the 92 series, the cheetah series, their double barrel shotguns, and many others they just make some of the best guns in the world, in my opinion
Love this gun channel 👍 You always have the best most awesome guns.
This may be one you want to check out. Just seeing if it to be released next month.Girsan MC 14T
This video was evil! I thought they were back in production! haha!
Great watch man, thank you, and by the way, I'm also one of those who bought the 21 Bobcat in .25ACP... probably less of us than tip-up 86's - hahah! 🤣😂
I love the 86, always wanted a 86 with a shorter barrel similar to the short length of the other tip-ups.
I have a friend who has one of these. It’s a damn good gun. I’m kind of envious over it
Thanks for another amazing review. I always thought I wanted a Cheetah, now I know I need one. This pistol is a work of art.
لو سمحت اسمو إيه السدس ده ،،،؟
YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🇺🇸🤛
I have an 81bb and it is my favorite handgun I own. 32acp 12+1
Beautiful piece! The price is definitely up there, current bid on one for $1,450 🥵
what a beautiful gun...
I'm not into guns but it's beautiful. I can see the craftsmanship.
Perfect.
That is a really nice example. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Ray!
I love the Beretta 85 and 86. they are beautiful
i gotta get one of these ... have just got a minx stamped with 1955 22 short longer barrel and the bobcat treaded ... thanks again for these vids
this is a discontinued model in the US. This was my first pistol purchased back when I turn 21. still have it.
I have a Tomcat in .32 ACP. Excellent pocket pistol.
That looks like a shorter version of the Beretta 92 with a tip up barrel and I would love to own that pistol or have one of them thanks for the video scooch
I can't find this automatic in gunstores anywhere. I'm sure it cost a fortune. I've heard its one of the best guns you can own.
This is the best 80 series pistol & the one they should have kept producing. If one hand gets injured you can still run the gun.
Thanks for your review. Awesome as always!!! Fantastic looking firearm.
The EAA MC14T .380acp based on the Beretta model 86, how does it compare?
Ah, Beretta ... beautiful and amazing firearms ... and for 500 years. Like so many kids that grew up in the 80's, I knew that someday I'd start buying 'em ... 'cause I'm a huge fan. Well, I was. Beretta USA just doesn't seem to be living up to the reputation of their parent company. I bought my 92X RDO/FR at the beginning of July. It failed at the range, right out of the box due to light primer strikes ... confirmed by the range's armourer. I had it for a few days, the gunshop I purchased it from had it for a few more. Beretta USA has had it for 2 and a half months. Despite my attempts to contact them in order to determine when ... or if I'll be getting my handgun back, their customer service department seems bent on refusing to communicate with me, regardless of what I try. This weapon was purchased so my wife could have some protection in our at-home office. I hate to think what would've happened if she had needed to use it. In conclusion, I'm happy to see all those enjoying their collectibles, I truly am. But this 1st in my collection of Berettas will be sold the moment it's returned to me. Finally ... you should read their FaceBook complaints page ... this seems to be a growing problem.
unfortunately beretta usa has abysmal customer service
I have an 87BB in 22LR. That’s another unicorn. Not many out there.
Super cool to see all those Berettas. Hope I can own one someday.
The M9 9mm was my side arm in the army, never failed me......that 86 model is fuckn wicked 🔥
A beautiful pistol for any nice collection!
I just like the idea of the gun. Instead of cocking it you can keep the magazine full and have an extra bullet in your pocket for quick break action-like barrel loading. It does suck that its stuck in .380, so good luck finding extra magazines for it
She has a beautiful design
I have the originals of the 21a and 3032. Love them
This is super cool!
Thanks for watching Hope!
Il give you 1100 for the cheetah.
Zo i can compleet my collection.
Thanks for showing it sootch
nice. always wanted one and was never able to get one.
"The tip up barrel is super convenient", racks slide to check the chamber. Old habits die hard. Also, reviewers always mention that the tip up barrel makes the gun easier to load but it also makes it easier to unload. On some pistols, racking out an unfired round can be tricky.
The most reason for tip up barrel is for unload the gun, that gun doesn't have the extractor piece, if the shooter needs to unload a chambered round, the main way is tip up the barrel
Great review buddy! Thanks for sharing, Semper Gumbie!
This is the dream, I'm from Vietnam
Beautiful.... Qualifies as a Forgotten Weapon but Ian hasn't done a review on it!!! Nice collection!
Call me crazy but I am .380 all day! Love the ppks, sig 365 .380, and this beretta.
For those, who don't know:- the italian ammo 380 acp has the same power like 9*18 Makarov- bullet 6,1 g.,and velocity 315 m/c.
These little Berettas are fantastic. I have an 85 BB, but I definitely would like an 87. They are hard to get! Thanks for the video.
PS: they should reintroduce the 86 along with the new 84 Cheetahs. It would sell very well.
Tisas has the faith model. An exact copy of this weapon. Much cheaper and reviews are very good.
Model 76 ??? What a beauty !!!
Awesome! You've got a lot of Berettas!
Only one I've got is a 92fs, and I love it.
I feel for Robbie there at the end. I've had hot brass go down in side the neck of my shirt! Not fun! Ouch! Lol
This and a Steyr something 9mm, with a full front grip press able safety are the weirdest guns I have shot. The Steyr didn't live long, but I had some intimate time with this Beretta and it sucks! This is a great pistol.....for an ornament or safe piece to show around. As an EDC and training it malfunctioned regularly, although full metal, it kicks a lot. It's nice to have, but will never recommend this for EDC, or even a range gun!
P.S. I don't see a problem with the M9 or 92FS, compared to some modern pistols I prefer the old feel,manual safety, no firing pin block and NOT drop safe!
Girsan is now making a 86 clone but with 13 rd mags called the MC 14T
If I could own one of these AND and a Beretta Model 1934, I could die a semi-happy man. There has to be a lot of these being held by private owners
and PERHAPS they will come up for sale in the future. I want them so bad I can taste it.
