I'm familiar with the gun, it's a nice sized shooting pistol for defense and concealment. Control lever is a bit sloppy but not a problem. ONLY problem I have with it... I ordered what this gun is listed as.. "FACTORY NEW" BUT that's not what I received.. It's refurbished and has a departmental OR T&E stamping.. It doesn't look anything like NEW... Looks used and touched when looking closer..

The 85FS has proven to...
The 85FS has proven to be a great little gun. The grip is noticeably thinner than that of the 84, but plenty long for those with "medium" sized hands to keep all fingers on the gun. The first two magazines of ammo I fired had a few failures to chamber, but since then the gun has been reliable. Admittedly I have not put a thousand rounds through it yet, but I will soon. I didn't do any cleaning or lubricating before the first range visit, so it is possible that with some extra lube and more dry practice, I might not have had those early malfunctions. I have used Remington 88 grain JHPs and some jacketed 95 grain and hard cast 100 grain loads, both of flat nose profiles. The latter two are in the P range, and the Remingtons are standard pressure. All turn in good velocities, as one might expect given the generous barrel length compared to most .380s. When firing over a sandbag, I am able to put a magazine's worth of rounds on a 6" bull out to 35 yards, though some are certainly on the edges. I have not machine rested the handgun. A few things that may annoy users are 1- Cheetahs have rightly earned a reputation for a tight fit when reassembling the top half to the frame 2- I have never encountered a Cheetah that didn't hit a bit high over the factory sights 3- When putting the gun back "on safe" it can be difficult to complete the de-cocking without adjusting the firing grip and the first little click you feel _is not_ a safe position. I tested this and the pistol will fire with the levers between the "fire" and "safe" positions, and the slide may well get stuck in between them, which will require a strong downward push (or careful tap with a hammer etc.) to get the pistol back into operation. I have addressed these points as follows 1- once you hit the "wall" during reassembly, push firmly back on the slide and guide rod while rotating the take-down lever back into lock. 2- I filed the top of the rear sight with a flat file, and deepened the notch with a square needle file, then refinished the shiny surfaces. 3- When going back on safe, I actually use the thumb of the non-firing hand to de-cock. It allows me to keep the firing hand where it is, the fingers of the support hand can still stay around the front strap, and it is easier than trying to press up hard enough with the back of the firing thumb. All in all, both I and my wife really like this gun and she will probably use it as much or more than I will. I would give it five stars if Beretta would address the the nuances of the safety and rear sight, but knowing them, I have no problem with this gun as a defensive tool out to 35 yards. This is a soft running and very shootable .380.
