The Beretta Cheetah's just keep following me home
This is my fourth one in the the past four months. My last two cost me less than $450 for the both of them together. This one cost me a BCM rifle that I could not give away since AR15's are now a dime a dozen. It did however come with all factory items, two extra nickel factory mags still in the plastic, two nice leather holsters and about 200rds of ammunition. This gun is just beautiful. Range report to follow.

Beautiful little pistol, I owned a blued model back in the early 80's and it was a sweet shooter.

That's a beaut. I have one just like it. I wish Beretta would go a bit easier on the slide roll marks.

Love the nickel Cheetah's. Looks like the trident fell out at some point and was put back in upside down.

That is an especially good looking one.

They fit the hand so nicely. Always good shooters.

Purty.

Even blowback, my 84 feels good.

That's one sweet pistola. Now if Beretta would do a batch of 7.65 model 81fs's in nickel !

Probably because they are beautiful, reliable, and affordable. Can you think of anything else that fits that bill?

Beretta does make a nickel version of the 81FS. It is not available in the U.S. though. An 84 can be converted to 7,65mm. All one has to do is procure a 7,65mm barrel and magazine. All other parts are the same between 84 and 81. MGW has the barrels available and magazines too.
