Trigger Mike Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I looked on their site and do not see it and only see 3 or so on Davidsons website. Do they still make it and if not why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Looks like a 1934 or 1935 updated. Great design. I had a .32 acp T-70 back in 1963- 1964 that was similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I have an 85 Cheetah FS but mine is in .380. It is the same as the 84 but with a single stack magazine. I also am lucky enough to own an 87 Cheetah in .22 LR. The 87 is identical in size to the 85 but the finish is gorgeous with a deep shiny blue and wooden grips. I had to wait almost six months to get it because nobody had one. I know Beretta does not make this model anymore and I'm not sure about the 85. Beretta also made an 87 Cheetah Target in .22 LR but that one has a longer barrel and longer slide with adjustable sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 I've got a Beretta fetish lately. I picked up their Desert Storm commemorative and got hooked. i did not know the Cheetah was an 80 series so thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Per their catalog, the only one they still advertise is the 87 Target. Same frame as the 85 FS but with a longer barrel and target slide. BTW, the only problem I ever had with my 85 FS is that to rack the slide you've gotta eat your Wheaties, so if you got weak hands forget it. Other than that it's dead-on accurate and I never had a failure in it. Beretta quality. I think it got replaced by the Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finagler 6853 Life Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I know a guy that has a model 82BB in .32 acp. Says it it fun to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 found a new italian M92 less than 500. may still get the cheetah. let my son use it to cut down small trees to clear a lane of fire for the deer stand. I figure if he can shoot and hit a narrow target he will be fine, especially since we stand several feet away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
