After dishing out the large lump of cash for the Beretta Cheetah 87 a few weeks ago, I started thinking about how the Cheetah 84 or 85 would nicely compliment the 87. So as I had the day off, I took off to just go check them out as I suspected they'd be pretty pricey.
After confirming the price of those beauties I happened upon the display that housed all the "el cheapo" models, and down near the bottom I noticed some well-made looking pistols, after further investigation I realized they had several Bersa .380's, .45acp and 9mm pistols, just sitting amongst the rest of the "less-than-desireables". I figured they didn't belong there and checked out the prices and was pleasantly surprised to find some Bersa .380's in the mid $200 price ranges. Oddly enough the dual-toned pistols cost less than the full matte black and all stainless models. Now I'm not a fan of the dual-tone pistols, but the price was right (about $30 less) so I mulled it over for awhile then took the plunge. The sales clerk said that of all the pistols in that display case, that'd be the only one he'd buy.
After all the rave reviews I've read about these little gems I figured if everyone was wrong it wouldn't be too expensive of a mistake. I can't wait to take it to the range. Even though I didn't want to add another caliber to my supply chain, the size of this little gun is just right.
I have yet to shoot it, but hopefully it'll run fine. I'll post an update afterwards.
