Langdon Tactical Beretta 80X Cheetah 32 ACP 3.9" 12rd Bronze Pistol

Langdon Tactical's take on the Beretta 80X Cheetah puts a rarely seen chambering into a modern carry package. The 32 ACP is the point here, not a compromise: it is a mild, low recoil cartridge that lets a shooter with limited hand strength run the gun, and in an aluminum framed pistol of this size the recoil impulse barely registers. A 12 round magazine keeps the round count respectable, and the 3.9 inch barrel gives the cartridge enough runway to do its job.

The build is where the Langdon influence shows. The slide is cut for a red dot and serrated for a firm grip, the carbon steel gets a black Bruniton finish, and the aluminum frame is finished in bronze with a Picatinny rail up front for a light or a laser. The 80 series Cheetah is a hammer fired design with a double action first shot rolling into single action follow up shots. Textured grip panels keep it planted. It is an easy gun to shoot well and an easy gun to recommend to somebody who finds a 9mm unpleasant.
