Classic Design. Modern Performance. The 80X Cheetah .32 ACP by Langdon Tactical [Video]

The Langdon Tactical 80X Cheetah in .32 ACP is a refined evolution of the classic Beretta platform—engineered for improved control, enhanced ergonomics, and superior shootability.

Built in collaboration with Beretta and upgraded by Langdon Tactical, this pistol delivers a smoother shooting experience with reduced recoil, faster follow-up shots, and consistent performance across a wide range of shooters.

Chambering the 80X in .32 ACP allows the platform to shine, offering a balance of controllability and capability while maintaining the familiar DA/SA system and handling characteristics.


Configuration Options

Black Tactical Model

  • Threaded barrel (½x28) for suppressor compatibility
  • Tactical-focused configuration
  • Compatible with wraparound grip upgrades
  • Black finish with performance enhancements

Italian / Bronze Model

  • Bronze finish with a refined, classic appearance
  • Inox stainless steel barrel
  • Flush-fit, non-threaded configuration
  • Same internal upgrades in a more traditional aesthetic

Both models are built on the same upgraded 80X platform and include identical performance enhancements.


Langdon Tactical Enhancements

Every 80X .32 ACP is upgraded with Langdon Tactical’s proven performance package:

Trigger System

  • Professionally tuned DA/SA trigger
  • Smooth double-action pull (~5.5–6 lbs)
  • Crisp single-action break (~4–4.25 lbs)

Carry Bevel Package (Optional)

  • Dehorned slide and frame
  • Eliminates sharp edges common to the platform
  • Improves comfort during carry and extended shooting
  • Reduces potential for slide bite

NP3 / MP3 Coated Internals

  • Reduced friction for smoother cycling
  • Increased corrosion resistance
  • Enhanced reliability and longevity
  • Improved overall trigger feel

Optics System

  • Direct-milled optic cut (Holosun EPS Carry compatible)
  • Lower mounting solution than factory plates
  • Increased durability and improved sight picture

Performance & Shootability

The .32 ACP chambering transforms the 80X platform into a highly controllable pistol:

  • Reduced recoil compared to .380 ACP
  • Faster follow-up shots
  • Easier slide manipulation
  • Improved accuracy and shooter confidence

Combined with the Vertec grip frame, tuned recoil system, and refined ergonomics, the result is a pistol that is easy to shoot well—whether at the range or in practical use.
