The 84B Cheetah pairs a compact footprint with a 3.8 in barrel and a 13+1 capacity in .380 ACP. Its DA/SA blowback system delivers the classic Cheetah handling and trigger feel associated with this series.
Construction features include a steel slide over an aluminum-alloy frame and Beretta’s open-top slide with rear-only vertical serrations. The exposed spur hammer and frame-mounted manual safety are true to the 84B configuration.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed setup: a low-profile front blade and a drift-adjustable rear notch. Smooth wood grips with PB medallions provide a traditional Beretta look and secure purchase.
Markings and provenance add interest for collectors and informed buyers. This pistol bears Italian proof and inspection marks on the frame and a BERBEN CORPORATION N.Y.–N.Y. slide import stamp, indicating an early U.S. import example from Italy.
