Beretta 80X Cheetah Launch Edition .380 ACP | Bronze Frame, Optics-Ready Slide, Limited-Run Compact
The 80X Cheetah Launch Edition pairs Beretta’s proven compact 80-Series design with modern features and a distinctive two-tone finish. Limited to the first 13,500 pistols, this Italian-made run adds a bronze anodized aluminum frame, black Aqua Tech Shield slide, and an optics-ready cut—features never before offered on a Cheetah. Its 13-round capacity, X-treme S short-reset trigger, and ambidextrous controls make this double-/single-action pistol both collector worthy and range ready.

This Launch Edition stands out for its bronze anodized frame, a finish unique to the first-run production. The black slide wears Beretta’s Aqua Tech Shield for enhanced corrosion resistance and includes front and rear serrations plus an optics-ready cut for micro red-dot plates.
The compact 3.9 in. stainless-steel barrel and aluminum alloy frame keep weight down while retaining the comfortable Vertec-style grip angle and checkered polymer panels. A skeletonized external hammer, reversible magazine release, and ambidextrous thumb safety/decocker cater to both left- and right-handed shooters.
Beretta’s X-treme S trigger system delivers an adjustable over-travel stop and a notably short reset, reinforcing the pistol’s modern performance edge. The dovetailed 3-dot sights sit high enough to co-witness with most micro optics once a plate is installed.
Launch Edition marking details include the Italian CIP shield proof dated ’23 and a Y0 serial prefix denoting an early 2023 production batch. Combined with its limited quantity, these features add collectible appeal while maintaining full compatibility with standard 80X Cheetah accessories.
