Let’s begin with the ammunition problem, as that’s naturally my biggest concern. By redesigning the magazine and feed ramp to feature a bit more of a slope, blunted nose projectiles slide freely and make their way into the chamber without a hiccup. Now, this does indeed mean that the 80X is not compatible with 84 magazines, but Beretta ships the gun with a spare, so you don’t have the task of sourcing a backup.
Beretta 80X Cheetah .380 13 Round Magazine. Developed for the 80X Cheetah pistol by Beretta, this 13 round capacity magazine fits .380 Auto ammunition and boasts improved geometry over the 84 Cheetah mag which can also be used in the 80X.
