Beretta’s just dropped a pair of slick 80X Cheetah pistols chambered in .32 ACP, both meticulously tuned by the wizards at Langdon Tactical Technology (LTT). These aren’t your grandpa’s pocket rockets—these are suppressor-ready stunners with 1/2×28 threaded barrels, blending European elegance with modern American hot-rodding. Clocking in at a featherweight 380 grams unloaded, the 80X-32 boasts a 13+1 capacity, while its sibling, the 80X-32C, packs 10+1 in a more compact footprint. LTT’s signature touches—like enhanced triggers, aggressive slide serrations, and Xtreme grips—make them shoot like butter, transforming the Cheetah’s legendary short-recoil system into a laser for concealed carry or plinking.

Why .32 ACP in 2024? It’s a masterstroke for the 2A crowd craving low recoil without sacrificing concealability. In a world obsessed with 9mm thunder, this caliber offers subsonic bliss for suppressed setups (hello, quiet backyard training), milder muzzle flip for new shooters or arthritis-plagued vets, and reliable feeding in micro platforms where .380 can get finicky. Beretta’s reviving the Cheetah lineage—originally a 1970s icon—smartly sidesteps the .380 ammo drought by tapping .32’s underrated ballistics: think 100-grain JHPs at 900 fps with less snap than a .22 Magnum. LTT’s tuning elevates it from boutique curiosity to everyday defender, proving that refinement trumps raw power in the EDC game.

For the pro-2A community, this signals Beretta doubling down on innovation amid ATF overreach and import scares—domestic tuning keeps it Made in USA compliant while nodding to compact carry rights. Pair one with a quality can, and you’ve got a whisper-quiet trainer that builds skills without the range hangover. If you’re tired of fighting your carry gun, these Cheetahs could redefine pocket pistols. Grab ’em quick; LTT exclusives vanish faster than .32 brass. Who’s running one suppressed? Sound off.
