Real World Carry Guns: The Beretta 84 Cheetah 

If we were in crummy european countries like say italy....all the cops drill with 84s or 85s...what do you think about this clowns "drills" lol, the double they don't stop drill vs the standard they just dont stop.....or how about administratively changing mags drill...or how about gay white talking about the 84 being "bone stock"....wtf! There isnt tons of "narly" mods for hardly utilized obscure pistols...i think just putting night sights on my 85 was going to be north of 300$. I love how this chump runs his totally range invented drills and ends it by saying "run your gun, not your mouth"....i doubt this guy has ever even been i a fist fight in his life.

@@dhardy6654 You should give this guy a chance because he has good videos and is pretty funny if you got a good sense of humor.

@@dhardy6654 - Okay you're about an 8 on the douche scale, I'm gonna need you at about a 3. Mmmkay?

@@dhardy6654 Italian retired police officer here. You really are a hopeless and clueless half-wit. Everything's wrong in your rant about how we train or we carry, lol.

@@dhardy6654 This was not an "obscure" gun in the late 1970s along with the similar Browning of the same caliber I was somewhat proficient with before joining the Navy and qualifying on the .45acp which had quite a bit more stopping power especially in the more constrained environment of a fast boat, though my weapon of choice then and now is any kind of shotgun if given a choice, which was rare: I generally had to use whatever weapon I was issued when the situation warranted it.

I definitely was killed by ninjas on the way back to the car

@@MrRevolver Dammit. They always win.

People (myself included) still buy them!

@@MrRevolver I've had one since 1993...just before the 10 round mag days. I am just breaking it back out again so took a look online for reviews etc. It fits my hand perfect and I used to be able to make cans dance at 25 yards a decade or so ago. Round choices today are much better than the FMJ I used to get. I have some Hornaday XTP as I saw a nice test of rounds here online with shorter barreled 380's and it stood out.

@@MrRevolver What holster were you using with the Cheetah?

...you mean all week

I have the fatih as well, what do you use for a holster? I got a desantis but it's pretty bulky and fits weird.

@@tobycooper9218 I don't carry it, so I never bought a holster for it. I'm a small guy and everything seems to print. My carry gun is a S&W Bodyguard 380.

@@tobycooper9218 just got the faith I am looking for a holster too

@@mannyc45 my desantis tuck this 2 holster like I said before is kinda cumbersome but does the job. I've carried it for over a year and don't have much bad to say about it. However it is heavy like I said before and being a smaller framed guy myself too, it doesn't print as much as I figured, especially when I carry in a hotter climate. If I could pick again it'd be a different holster, something that hugs me more and actually locks the gun in place, and has a tighter fit on my clothes.

Red Menace Shooting he mentions them on one video. I saw it in the” mix” they were springs for another gun but worked

@@wbwills2 it was a Wilson Combat GP100 mainspring. Makes the trigger a LOT better, but according to Beretta you need to change the recoil spring every 500 rounds or so

I think those recommendations are pretty smart.

I did for a while, and I really liked it, but I switched back to the metal framed Berettas a while ago

Gun Nuts Media can you tell us why you switched back?

There have been credible reports of reliability issues with the EMP, enough to make me cautious about the brand.

Many thanks!

He said the whole thing is stock. Personally, I don't have the aptitude to make modifications. That's why I go with a ppq

Honestly if there is a physical ailment a .22 LR revolver might be the best choice.

@@MrRevolver thanks, with my 6" 617 I can keep double action strings in the black at 25 meters, I may get decent with a compact revolver, with practice.

Years ago Phil Engeldrum said in Handgun tests magazine " the Beretta 84 holds 14 shots, with it you can put 3 shots into 4 people and STILL have TWO left over for anyone who has any fight left in them".a .380 has the muzzle energy comparable to a .38 special. As a VERY informed Gun dealer friend of mine once said "anything inside 50 feet and under is prime territory for a .380!

I still do from time to time

@@MrRevolver What made you decide to carry the 84? I have one and I too shoot it pretty well because the trigger is clean, it weighs a bit and 380 just doesn't jump around but idk if I would ever carry it because it's pretty thick and heavy. I love the grip tho, classic beretta comfort.

There are some situations where having a lot of ammo (13+1) but a really small gun makes a lot of sense. Plus I’m a terrible gun hipster 🤣

81 & shoot it better than the few others I have. Neck & neck with S&W 66-2,2.5 inch k frame. 357 & 32. I know. But you shoot well with what you shoot well with. That’s how I see it anyway. Take care

Prefer? This. But the GLOCK 42 is actually a better choice for carry.

It's the Beretta Model 84 holster that's for sale on Beretta's website.

It's actually sold by Beretta on their website, search for Beretta 84 IWB holster and it should pop up.

I strongly recommend BALL ammo in .380.

I generally look at that too. But, since Caleb running JHP, I am curious on thoughts, more so since most aren't testing it out of a longer barrel.

Not really without looking. You might want to check Galco's website, they often have stuff for guns that might surprise you.

Gun Nuts Media thank you. I did ask before. It was right below I just didn’t see it. Anyhow thank you for getting back to me. I watched a few more of your videos. On one of them you were using a Galco fletch I believe it was. A long time ago my first brand new from the factory semi auto purchase ever was A GEN three Glock 33. Even ponied up for factory night sights. I was pretty young and that was a chunk of money for me . Actually still would be now but especially then. The GEN three had just come out. My One friend that knew a lot about hand guns showed me an article and all the ballistics. I had to have it. Hated the gun. Hate might be a little strong but I did not enjoy it and it was expensive to shoot. And I did not look forward to it. I tried to like it. Got some different magazine base plates, extended slide release, and a few more odds and ends. Still have some of that stuff in the box.Everyone’s had guns like that before. It was stolen when I was at a town about four years ago. An inside job. A “friend’s “brother. Reported it and I am done with glock for now at least . I don’t miss G33 at all. On the bright side, Galco fletch was the holster I chose. Now I liked that part of the set up. I will look around. I will start with Galco. They do have some good stuff. Saw a 2020 shot show Galco video . A couple things caught my eye but it wasn’t in the market for anything at the moment so I wasn’t paying very good attention. Might go hybrid IWB. Email Garrett industries last night. Have one of theirs. Like it. Thanks again. Take care. PS. Any thoughts on those thin LOk grips? I like this little thing I want to jazz it up some. Have a K frame with some VZs but never tried any other G 10 and don’t know of anyone else that makes grips for the cheetah. Not that the factory ones feel bad at all. Just looking around. Would might be cool but thiner sounds good .. thoughts? Have a good evening

Yeah, but finger tattoos are against regs so I moved to the forearm of my dominant hand

What holster do you use? I've been looking for one for the 81.

bought the shoulder holster “affordable” ones off ebay . company called kingdom holster.

Beretta

It’s the Beretta holster from their website.

It’s the Beretta 84 holster from Beretta’s website

wild. couldnt be me

One from Beretta’s website

Awesome man thank you really enjoy the content and keep up the good work

It is, yes

@@MrRevolver Thanks for getting back to me. I have an 84FS. I notice when i decock the hammer it falls to the half cocked position but if i slowly squeeze the trigger from that point the hammer will start to move back. I notice a hear an CLICK from the gun and if i stop pulling the trigger back and release my finger pressure off the trigger the hammer will now move forward until the hammer is resting on the back of the slide behind the firing pin. Does this happen to your cheetah also? I was wondering is it safe to have the hammer rest against the back of the slide with a round in the chamber? Or is there a firing pin block in the Cheetah that prevents the firing pin from going forward until the hammer is cocked fully back. Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

It does happen to my cheetah, and I always carried it with the hammer at that half-cock notch

@@MrRevolver Thanks for checking Mr Revolver. And letting me know how you carry it. I appreciate your assistance.!

Gary Altman It’s the leather concealment IWB holster from Beretta’s website! I like it a lot actually.

Yeah but the difference between the Cheetah and a XDm is that the XDm is a piece of shit.

@@MrRevolver got em!!
