Our Assessment: The Beretta 84FS, part of Beretta’s renowned Cheetah series, is a compact semi-automatic pistol chambered in .380 ACP, also known as 9mm Short or 9mm Kurz. This series is highly regarded for its blend of compact size, superior construction, and dependable performance, making it a favored choice for personal defense and concealed carry. Chambered in .380 ACP, the Beretta 84FS features a 13-round magazine. It utilizes a traditional double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger mechanism, where the first trigger pull is longer and heavier to cock and fire the pistol (double action), while subsequent shots benefit from a lighter and shorter trigger pull (single action). Constructed with an aluminum alloy frame and a steel slide, the Beretta 84 ensures durability while maintaining a manageable weight for everyday carry. Its blowback operating system, common in many .380 ACP pistols, adds to the simplicity and reliability of the firearm. The design of the Beretta 84 places a strong emphasis on ergonomics and user comfort. The pistol’s stock grip is relatively slim, making it well-suited for shooters with smaller hands. Safety features are a key component of the Beretta 84’s design. It includes a manual thumb safety that also functions as a push up decocker, allowing the hammer to be safely lowered on a live round. Additionally, the pistol includes a magazine disconnect. The Beretta 84FS comes equipped with fixed sights, offering durability and a clear sight picture for accurate shooting. In summary, the Beretta 84FS in .380 ACP is a compact, reliable, and stylish handgun that excels in personal defense and concealed carry roles.
