The Model 84F is part of Beretta's Cheetah (80-Series), chambered in .380 ACP. It uses a DA/SA, straight-blowback action with a button magazine release and a double-stack magazine system for a 13+1 capacity. The squared combat-style trigger guard supports a firm, consistent indexing point.
Construction highlights include a Bruniton-finished, open-top slide with rear serrations and a light-alloy frame with an anodized finish. The barrel and chamber are chrome-plated, and the pistol wears black checkered polymer grips with Beretta medallions.
Sight and control layout is straightforward: an integral front blade, a drift-adjustable rear sight in a dovetail with a top-screw retainer, a slide-mounted safety/decocker, and a firing pin safety. The trigger operates in DA/SA.
Markings are consistent with Italian manufacture and importation to the U.S. The slide reads "PIETRO BERETTA GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY" and "PATENTED READ MANUAL BEFORE USE" with the PB oval logo. The barrel hood is marked "CAL. 9 Short 380 Auto." Italian proof marks include a boxed "BF" date code indicating 1995, and the frame bears a PW ARMS REDMOND WA import mark.
The included steel magazines have numbered witness holes to 13 and are compatible with Beretta 84-series pistols.
