Very precise, tight little gun. No failures to feed or fire with several brands of ammo, hollow point and fmj. Not ideal for concealed carry, but it is concealable. Tight spring and light cutouts make racking the gun a bit difficult. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I really appreciate the style of Berettas and this is no exception. Having 13 round mags is nice as well, whereas the double stack bulks the grip up a bit too to fit bigger hands. Very happy with this purchase, and Buds always makes everything a breeze.

Pistol arrived with damage to the finish of the slide. The scratches appear similar to what I've seen other Berettas that have been labeled and sold as blemish models. Firearm was covered in oil, so I didn't notice when picking up from the ffl. Overall, I'm still incredibly happy with the pistol. The workmanship and quality of this pistol are absolutely outstanding. It's also one of the sexiest firearms I've ever seen. Slide is difficult to rack due to being blowback operated, which may be an issue to those with limited grip strength. High quality pistol, no doubt about it.

If your looking for a high quality 13rnd 380 this bad boy is it. The safety is frame mounted and also doubles as a decocker . It is a pleasure to shoot and it isn't too big around the grip like some Beretta are.Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a double stack 380 for EDC

I love this firearm for what it is. Big for a .380, but I like that, as I find most .380s I've shoot are very snappy. So the extra weight is welcomed. No issues with Winchester white box, that's the only brand I've put through it so far. Great little gun to shoot. Carried it for a while too. People say the .380 is an inadequate round, but it was adequate enough to start WW1. I don't see where the hate comes from as it's the same diameter as a 9mm, just slightly shorter in height. The slide is stamped with 9mm Short, as it's referred to overseas. Overall - I love it.

IT is ok, very hard to rack back, great shooter and beautiful, a little pricey for what it is but it is a Beretta, so you're buying their great prestige with it. Zero problems so far with it.

Excellent gun..accurate shooter...reliable w/ a variety of ammunition including the Hornady XTP class ammo...very easy to pick up the front site..good balance and very fine workmanship...the gun can be easily concealed ...Highly recommended...(it is a blow back design...and as a result the slide spring is a bit stiff...but not to the point where cycling the slide should be a problem for most users...)

I purchased this Beretta in October 2015 and just got around to range testing it. I expected a good performance based on price and reputation. I used Winchester 95 grain factory ammo. After the first 10 rounds it failed to cycle. I had to hand eject and fire the next six rounds. I field stripped the gun and carefully inspected, cleaned and oiled all the active parts of the mechanism. The next trip to the range was much better, but my grouping was poor off a bench rest at 20 yards. In all fairness , will try several hundred rounds at 10 yards. This gun has a good feel and recoil is no problem, The one I have seems very tight. I also had a difficult time with reassembly as the takedown lever would not snap back in place as many Youtube videos demonstrate. I am more than a little disappointed for the money I spent on this gun.

I picked up this firearm from my FFL today, and after a quick field strip and inspection took it straight to the range. First of all, let me just get the argument about certain calibers' "stopping power", conceal ability, and blah blah blah out of the way, I am the type that just like to shoot and mindlessly pop off targets and shoot holes thru paper targets. And I'm sure there are lots more like me. And I also "play" with all my firearms ( SAFELY ) while maintaining them same way kids play with their toys. That said, after about 100 rounds, all I can say is WOW!!! Felt recoil is tame ( dare I say non existent? ). And the grouping, compared to my P238, G42, and Bersa 380 is so tight, and they say it's never the gun but the shooter. Double tap and rapid fire to your heart's content, and you'll be grinning from ear to ear, as I did. And yes the indoor range here in Va Beach allows rapid fire shooting. At $678, it s a bit pricey ( currently you can get a full size 9mm Sig p229, that I also bought a few months back for quite a bit more OUCH, for same price ) but for me it's worth every penny. To sum it up, this is truly one fine piece of man made engineering marvel, both form and function. It's gorgeous, but more importantly delivers such joy and fulfillment everytime you pull the trigger. If you're looking for a good .380 to SHOOT, trust me on this, scrape and save a few more dollars and get this as opposed to getting some other inexpensive unit. YOU WON'T SORRY. It's a safe queen that begs to be racked and squeezed over and over again.

I love my M9A1 but sometimes it's a little too big to carry, so I bought this 84fs from Bud's. As usual Beretta doesn't disappoint! This is a well balanced, well made pistil. You can feel the quality when you first pick it up. I have put over 200 rounds through it, PMC, silver bear, Remington, PPU and Hornady, they all fed and fired without issue. This pistol has proven accurate so far, even out to 50 yards! It is large for a .380 but is easily concealed with a good IWB holster. Great service from Bud's.

The finish on the gun is good except for the serial number I wrote Beretta and here is what they said, "For that Model the serial number is put on at the proof house in Italy, then the gun is finished, According to the head gunsmith that is normal for the serial to not take the finish, He told me there is nothing we can do for it and that it is normal on that model." Can you believe that response? I paid close to $700 for this pistol and they are making a gun that cannot take the finish? That's like buying a car and having the paint fall off. Needless to say I am very disappointed......plus it us not just the serial number that does not take the finish other markings partially take the finish which makes it look scratched....The big question is why would you continue to make a product that does not look right after it is made? Answer...Beretta does not care about their customer....

Tthis is an extremely well made pistol. I put 52 rounds through it when I first got it and it centered all the shots at the point of aim and close to the same hole at 10 yards. It is a little bigger and more expensive than the newer striker fired pocket .380's but I think the 84FS is worth it. It makes for a good civilian pistol because it has both a manual safety and a heavy, but smooth DA first shot. It is a classy pistol all the way, one of my favorite buys lately. Bud's has extra Beretta magazines for the 84FS too.

I have always wanted one of these beauties Beretta 84FS Cheetah .380acp First time I took it to the range I was very happy it's as accurate as it is beautiful shooting at 25ft I easily kept it in the bullseye and the #1 circle all shots within the 1" circle and the bullseye blown almost completely out with 1 - 13+1 magazine. Buds delivered as usual and I'm pretty sure it was the best price on this gun anywhere, Beretta is sure proud of the magazines though. Thanks Buds for another great deal!

I received the item in 2 days at my FFL Dealer. The product was NEW in the box with all accessories, cleaning brushes, 2 magazines, manual, and paperwork. The 84FS Cheetah is manufactuered well, no scratches, tight slide with no wobble, and a decent trigger. The finish is consistent all over with no compliants. It came with a 2-dot sights (1 on the rear and 1 on the front post). The balance is great even with a fully loaded 13 round magazine. I have not fired any rounds yet (due to the local range being closed for deer season) but that will happen in 2 weeks when the range opens. This is my 4th Beretta product in 27 years and have no worries on the anticipated functionality. Thank you Bud's for your prompt and professionl service.

Great weapon, with low recoil and a great size for conceal carry.

What a beautiful pistol!!!!!!. Solid feel and nice grip, like an extension of your hand. Nice safety features. Has been very reliable and accurate. This baby packs twice the capacity of other pistols in this caliber and exudes quality. I would not consider this a throw away piece or a beater, but a solid design to cherish. Although larger than many other pistols of this caliber on the market and about the size of many 9mm models, this is a proven .380 auto design with years of reliable service. If you are set on a .380 caliber, this is certainly one to consider. The barrel length provides greater accuracy and muzzle velocity for the little cartridge that a smaller barrel pistols just can't do. Like everything else; there are cheaper alternatives. I would dare to say "One of Beretta's crowning achievements". Thanks BUDS.

I purchased this gun from Buds last May. I have put 200-300 rounds through it and it is flawless. I've used Remington, S&B and PMC Bronze ammo. All with no issues. It is quite accurate and easy to clean. It's really a delight to shoot.

This is possibly the best handgun I have ever owned. Very accurate and reliable. I've fired more than 400 rounds without any trouble. Worth every penny!

I've fired a couple hundred rounds through mine without any problems (Can't say the same for my Sig 232). I've used a nice variety of ammunition in this gun and it has fired everyone without a problem. This gun is extremely accurate. It is like having a smaller (I wont go as far to say mini) 92FS. The 13+1 capacity is nice. However, it does make for a larger grip (about the same size of my 92fs). It's easy to break down and clean. It has a nice Safety (which was a big selling point for me). However, If I were to buy a 92FS or this gun... I'd definitely buy the 92FS. It's not much larger than this gun (especially the grip). It hold 15 9MM rounds instead of 13 380 ACP Rounds. AND it's about a hundred bucks cheaper!!
