Notes
MSRP approximately $1,049. The compensator and extended magazines are the functional changes over the standard 80X Cheetah; the bronze anodising is cosmetic.
Background
Compensating a .380 is close to heresy - the cartridge barely recoils - but Beretta's argument is flat-shooting speed for competition and for shooters who need the muzzle to stay put between shots.
