- I review the Beretta 80x with 1000 rounds of varying ammo and find out what runs reasonably and how often the gun needs to be cleaned!! This is an amazing little pistol.

Other guys say they shot 1,000 rounds.. this guy actually does it.
Hahahaha. Thank-you!! I tried to put it on high speed to not bore everyone (as much)!!
@@triggerbarPhD Yes, thanks for running some rounds through it, and I think a good thought about cleaning, particularly if you can tell it's got a little blow back.
1000 rounds is only an hour of shooting. Its not far fetched. We go thorough about 9000 rounds each on training days.
@@krodkrod8132 1125 rounds an hour for 8 hours. 18.75 rounds per minute continuously for 8 hours.
No.
No you do not go thru 9,000 rounds each in a single training session.
Stick to road rage.
@@krodkrod8132That sounds like a heck of a training budget
Good to see a thorough review, thanks.
Thank-you my friend!
Cool review! 1,000 round performance review of a pistol is an excellent way of testing out what type of ammo is reliable and also lets the parts mate well.
Thanks, I own this one. Love Your testing multiple ammo manufacturers.
Thank-you!!!
dang, that's a lot of ammo. glad to see it run like it did and thanks for showing how this really runs!!
Thanks my friend!!
Great testing👍 thank you.
This is how things are supposed to be done.
And nice pistol!👊
Thanks my friend!!
Thanks for the great video. I've got a Beretta 84B that I bought new back in 1989-90 which I dearly love. I looked at one of these and they seem like a great modernization of the older Cheetahs. Don't think I'll get one but they sure feel great in the hand.
That’s a fantastic treasure you have! I really do love this updated one but the older ones are just special!!
Great review and cool little gun.
Thanks my friend! Nothing as good as you would do but I appreciate the kindness!!
Chris from the 740 sent me! I have a Model 81 in .32ACP and love it. Wish I had gotten the double stack .380 too. The new ones are interesting though.
Ah thanks my friend, that’s so kind of him!! I’m a huge fan of his channel!! Ah, 32 acp is so classic though, way cool gun!!
I have the 80x and its shoots really smooth. TrueType Italian style. Great looking weapon
Man it is such a fun gun, and very smooth as you say!
I just bought one of these yesterday and fired it this morning. It took the first 200 rounds without a problem. Its surprisingly accurate too. I shot the PMC bronze 90 grain. Every time i shoot, i use something different to see what it likes and doesn't like. So far i like this little pocket gun.
It really is fantastic!!!
When it comes to semi-auto pistols for self defense in .380, I've always used Bersa Thunder stuff (single and double stack models). I enjoy .380, so I jumped on this gun when it first came out and it's my daily carry at the moment. I've never had trouble with the safety/decocker since I know that the item never advertised the ability to be carried cocked and locked. My experience aside, I think it's valid to point out the confusion over the safety switch since it gives feedback in that half position. After around 400 rounds, I noticed that the screws on the rear optic/rear iron sight plate started to become loose.
Thanks for sharing this info and your testing experiences!! That’s very valuable to know to check that periodically!
Big Beretta fan, carried an M9 as a service weapon in the military, so have one of those, when this cheetah came out, I had to get it, love love love this gun. If I am not carrying my APX A1 carry, then I am carrying this.
That’s awesome! I have the a1 carry too but don’t shoot it enough. I am a beretta fan. Love their guns. I also have a 92 compact that’s super fun.
What’s up my friend? Hey I am new to your channel. 1st time being here. I actually fell in love 😻 with the Beretta 80x Cheetah so much that I purchased the damn gun last week Friday and I am waiting for it to get here. Great video and thanks 🙏 for sharing buddy. You got yourself a new supporter here. I would appreciate support if possible.
Thanks my friend! Just hit the subscribe on your channel! I look forward to your content and congrats on your new gun!!!
@@triggerbarPhD Thank you 🙏 brother. I surely appreciate it my guy. And yes I am excited and cannot wait to take this bad boy to the range.
Good review, and lots of ammo used here. Nothing like a real example of review. Thanks.
Now I clean my 92 every 1k or so rounds but I put a stronger recoil spring on it, also I shoot indoors I don't know if that has any relation.... you should be looking on springs this weapons like to have spring recoil change every 3k rounds or so. 🎉💥💥🔥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for that, great advice on the springs. And this is slight different than the 92 as it does not have a locking block on it so slightly deferent operation. More direct blow back. Definitely poor quality/dirty ammo played a role in needing cleaning!!
@@triggerbarPhD I need to get with the times and check how this one works. 😀
Great video brother!
Thanks my friend! Great chat tonight!
Great video 👍. I think I would still rather get my hands on a old one.
Yah a BB84 would be cool to have. Saw them in bulk this last winter and missed them. Kicking myself.
Got this for my wife CCL. I had 1000 rounds shipped to me to do this exact same thing to make sure it runs. Made it through 300 and had close to 7 dead triggers. Been reading and trying to find fixes so I can feed the other 700 with hopes to gain back confidence
Oh dang, thanks for reporting this! What ammo?
Speer lawman 95gr. I don’t think the ammo was the issue as every one of these didn’t even have a primer struck. Completely dead trigger
@theworldreviewed8527 oh dang that sucks. Yah my issues seemed to be related to the ammo. Either had a hard time feeding it or it was very dirty ammo and resumed firing normally after cleaning.
@theworldreviewed8527 Im not sure if this will help at all but I discovered these things.
1# Putting any upwards pressure on the safety while firing can cause a dead trigger occasionally even if the safety remains in the fire position. Solution is to keep a proper firing grip and ride the safety similar to CZ or 1911. Its easier to induce this problem as the gun breaks in.
#2 This was the biggest problem, the gun has a little allen screw that can adjust the trigger over travel and reset. The shorter you make the over travel and reset the more likely the trigger will fail to reset. I imagine this is because its not allowing the internals to clear and function properly. I backed it off 1 revolution and my gun has ran flawlessly ever since. I managed to recreate this problem multiple times while dry firing and noticed the set screw can move every 150-200 rounds especially with heavier loads like AAC 100gr. I just keep and eye on it whenever i clean my gun. Hope this helps
Thanks for the review, 7 FTFs is somewhat concerning, so Hornady ammo may work better? I have the silver 84FS Cheetah and could use those mags, so waiting to see if Beretta releases a silver 80x.
That’s a great question. I have not tried it with critical duty or defense. That Fiocchi defense round is really very good and I’ve seen tests on other channels where it is better through clothing than even the Hydroshock deep rounds.
I think it's so interesting that Beretta came out with this...just when most of us thought .380 was on the way out. I'm a fan of Berettas, love my M9A4. Have thought about picking up an X model, but really want an M9 similar to what I served with. Yea the one issue with these and the 92 series that are setup for optics is how high they sit.
Sucks to see the failures it had, but you're spot on it's most likely a cleaning issue, but could be the lower quality ammo. No issues with a decocker on a pistol. Great review!
Thanks so much! Yah agreed, the 92 is awesome and can see your desire for the M9! Thanks my friend!!
1:30 - haha
btw - what was that at about 3:25 ish...where you look to adjust your grip, but then it looks a lot like you made a full trigger squeeze, and nothing happened? And then just squeezed again, and it fired? Especially when I slow it to .25x speed, it does.
I was trying to use the decocker and shoot in double action but I believe I decocked and left it in safe and didn’t take the safety off.
My 80x has been amazing so far. I did notice the first 250-300 rounds the gun was very tight but everything loosened up and now it runs like a top with anything. Cleaning is a big deal though because its a blowback design, just something to keep in mind. Not a gun you buy like a glock and run thousands of rounds through without cleaning or lubrication, maintenance is more similar to a rimfire.
Absolutely. Great comment and thanks for sharing your experience!!
I have a Tisas Fatih that's a cheetah clone, it's in my carry rotation, I feel just as well armed with it as I do my Glock 19 or my model 66 smith and wesson.
Tisas is making so many nice guns. I’ve been eyeballing several of them. I bet the faith is really nice!
I like mine and will I have only fired a box of ammo, the accuracy is acceptable, The main problem is that I have large hands and it is difficult for me to get a good purchase. Too early to tell, but I really like it and will definitely keep it.
That’s great! It really is a great gun and I’m not getting rid of mine!!
How did the optic and plate hold up over 1k rounds? Is there any youd like to try beyond the Holosun?
I only had the optic on for the last hundred rounds but I’ve shot it since then. I haven’t put nearly as many rounds on it and I have heard from some that the berreta plate bends a bit and isn’t as rigid as people would like. I can confirm that it does move with a little bit of pressure because the mount on the slide is so thin. I’ve heard others have had good luck with their other plates. Sorry I can’t remember which other plates. I have a Cyelee Cat Pro on another gun and was able to find a discount code from 704 tactical for 25% off at Amazon and I really like that optic. But don’t have nearly as much time with it as I do the Holosun’s.
I chose the Girsan MC14T over this. I love it. But this was a close call for me and I like your Cheetah.
I’ve wanted to get my hands on that one, that’s a very interesting gun! How do you like it?
Try a Beretta 81 in 32ACP, I think you will like it.
I saw they just came out with their new 30x in 32 acp. I think I would like an 81!
I had a ton of problems with mine. Gun powder kept hitting my face when shooting. Recoil wasn’t noticeably lighter than my 92x compact. Optic cover plate kept working itself loose every 100 rounds or so even after applying loc tite. And every 30-40 rounds I got a dead trigger malfunction. Cleaning every 100rds did not help. It kept up like that for 500 rounds. I sent it into Beretta and they didn’t even try fixing it and sent it back to me (with literally no communication whatsoever) still not working. After explaining how poorly Beretta handled the situation Scheel’s allowed me to return it for a full refund thankfully.
Dang that sucks. I’m so sorry to hear it was that bad for you!
I've gotten the dead trigger malfunction on mine too! i was really curious how it happened.. but ive found that it depends on how you load the mags, always make sure the round is seated completely against the back of the magazine, after making sure of that i never had an issue again.
@@fuze3522 unfortunately I tried that after the problems started initially and it continued to happen throughout the 500 rounds I put through it. I’m glad yours worked out though!
🤟🏽🤘🏼👍🏼
Thanks my friend!!
Excellent video 👍. I think it's best to stay with ball ammo.
Agreed for many reasons with 380! Thanks for watching!!
I think I may buy that gun and I it would be my first.
Awesome, it’s a fantastic gun!
How does this pistol handle plus P ammo?
I see nothing either way. Other 380 guns I’ve seen (lcp max) say no plus p. I’d think this could but don’t know for sure and recommend asking beretta.
Tried asking Beretta. Still waiting for a response.
Cześć, dostrzegam w niej jedna "chyba" dość istotną wadę, a mianowicie brak podpórki choćby cząstkowej pod kciuk lewej dłoni jak ma to miejsce w 92xp a to powoduje znaczącą stabilizacje broni w rękach .
Yes, very good point. It is a short gun so I had to modify my grip. That’s true for me on all guns of this size and you are correct, a real draw back.
I own this one.
Awesome! How do you like it?
@@triggerbarPhD This is a great design; I love it. It's just the right size between my pocket handguns and my full-size ones. I used to be a caliber snob -- grew up in the Army and always carried a 1911A1 in .45 ACP, but now I'm acceding to the arguments that lighter calibers, even down to .22 LR, are good enough for self-defense. Shot placement is tantamount.
I have a pair of Cheetahs in 32.
I bet those are awesome shooters!!
After the first 100 rounds, my trigger and slide springs broke. We’ll see…
Oh no!!! That’s awful! Has Beretta fixed it?
@@triggerbarPhD Yes, it was under warranty, but still had to pay for the gunsmith labor.
That’s stinks
Light primer strikes due to finger adjustment riding the safety
Maybe but then again I only had 6/1000. Seems I’d get that more often if it was technique.
Yea I saw it in another video , the guy couldn’t figure it out until he wandered on the most likely culprit was that his natural grip also the cause of the light primers by the safety slightly engaging with every other shot or so. I believed i was watching a TH video. But I also noticed that on your video, when reinserting a round that didn’t fire at first, it would eventually fire, through process of elimination, I would rule out the possibility of ammo, it’s not the ammunition. Just my take. lol great video I love how that one looks I might end up getting one 💯
@5thsNGunz thanks for this! Will have to do more testing and yes, it is a fun gun!!
I don’t think you cleaned it often enough, I’ve had a model 85 cheetah for years, NEVER had a problem with it, and yes, I’ve shot many different types of ammo
Could very well be the case. Definitely with that lower quality dirty ammo. I wanted to see what it’s limits were as it’s a newish gun (though very similar to these older models) and going forward I’ll definitely keep it cleaner!!
bb or fs?
@@alexporter560 bb
I had an 80x and had the same problems he did with some on top. This new model is garbage compared to the old cheetahs
I bought two of these for my daughter. Both have asymmetric crowning which has effected the accuracy. I had to drift on of the sights to the far left to be able to hit the target. I sent both to Beretta and they returned them three months later with a comment that they both work fine. BERETTA SUCKS!!!
Ah man that sucks so bad!!!!
Failures are all because you stick your left thumb on the slide when you shoot😂
Lol. Maybe. The gun is small, also don’t want to blow my thumb off! 😂🤣
Bought one a few months ago great so far put the same dot on mine not sure how many rd's through it so far no problems I use Win. FMJ-FN in all my .380 cause I like FN for .380.
Oh nice! Glad to hear the dot has held up on it! I haven’t had any issues but it feels a like it might be a problem.
