Thank you, Don, for this video. 17 April 2024, I picked up the piece at my local range/FFL (purchased it for $292.00). The MC14G84 becomes my second .380, the other is a Ruger Security-380 (which is amazing). Even though I'm a big, strapping septuagenarian (6'4" and 275 lbs.) and ex-wrestling coach, arthritis has done a number on my left thumb. All of my 9mm's were chosen based upon their ability to limit perceived/felt recoil (and they do so with aplomb), hence my venture into the .380 world. It's a delightful shooter and NO felt/perceived recoil sensitivity after over 100 rounds.

The Walther Pk380 is a locked breech .380. Because of that, it has the least recoil and lighest slide pressure of any .380 ive shot. Just something to consider given your conditions.

@KOAnonymously 19 күн бұрын

You should try running a comp I have one on My Glock 26 and it shoots soooooooooooooooo Flat I’d say there’s less felt recoil than my full size steel frame cz-75.

@@Bojangles6I love the walher but safety location could be an issue. Is nice to have a DA when carrying 1 in the chamber and aimed at your wobbly bits.

@Bojangles6 17 күн бұрын

@@crawdadlando4053 i pretend the safety isnt there, id rather carry a da than cocked and locked sa. I dont carry it because i started having light primer strikes with one brand of ammo, but it is a super nice gun to shoot. I stippled mine and ground the little wings behind the mag release off cause they bite my fingers. It was gonna be my wifes carry gun, but its just a plinker/trainer now.

I have an older Beretta Model 84, 13 shot .380 with "Pietro Beretta Gardone V.T - Made in Italy" markings. Funny story. I was hitting golf balls while walking my dog, probably over 35 years ago and found it laying on a football field. No magazine, but a live round in the chamber..still shoots like a dream.

I recently bought a Girsan MC1911SC in 9mm & was extremely pleased with the overall quality of the pistol. It’s a beautiful gun, all steel with the same black/grey cerakote color scheme, it’s been 100% reliable, I couldn’t ask for more especially at the price I paid (exactly $410 after tax, shipping, & FFL transfer fee which is insane). This was my first Girsan & won’t be the last. I’m glad they’re reviving these older models that still have a large following but will now attract a new generation of fans thanks to a lower price point. This Cheetah clone looks great. Awesome stuff 👍

I remember in the late '70s and into the mid '80s this .380 series of pistol were extremely popular. My partner in Fugitive carried it as a Browning DBA. That was a pretty gun! Smooth wood grips and deep bluing. He had a Bianchi shoulder holster for it. Nice rig.

@FCV0511 20 күн бұрын

Glad to see someone remaking arguably the best looking Cheetah; the 84BB models. Thanks for the video - I've been pretty interested in these and might have to pick one up. I prefer its smooth lines and no rail up front. Would love to see a version with a high polish blued finish and wood grips though! :D

My first .380 was a Keltec P3AT, and that was just too light for the caliber at 7 ounces. I was amazed at how comfy shooting the Cheetah and Browning BDA were: bigger frame, so better grip, heavier, so less felt recoil. I carry it IWB, and it conceals really well. These bring the price back down to the point that they are easily affordable.

@keithplymale2374 19 күн бұрын

Long wanted a Beretta 84 especially after I got a 92FS in the 1990's and the 84 is basically a miniature of that. The manual of arms is the same. But as he said by the time I was buying guns the 84 was out of production and the prices were already going up. So I have a Tisas Fatih 380B. I got it online for a bit less than the Girsan. I have had it out once and put around 50-60 through it with no issues. It was fun to shoot, feels great in the hand, and was accurate enough for me.

@gsd4me00 20 күн бұрын

I'm thinking that as Girsan saw fit to change the shape of the back strap they could also have modified the shape of the trigger and trigger guard at the same time to make finger access easier.

Thanks for the review! Regarding the looks - with all the respect but to call Girsan an exact copy of Beretta is quite a exaggeration! When you place both guns side by side, the Girsan looks like Beretta carved with axe! Beretta has so nice and smooth lines, the design is just beautiful!

180 degrees for a case to eject rather then your typical 90 degrees, this is why anything close to a Barreta design ejection style is not going away, you can see a malfunction with out having to twist gun to the left to check as other semi autos the 90 degree port

This is a copy of the 84 BB model. I have an 81 .32 acp, an 84 BB, and an 85 fs single stack which saved my life. I also have the girsan mc14t "tip up" 86 clone. I have Been interested in getting this one since i heard about it. Big fan of the cheetahs plus I also love 92's. I just really wonder how much interchangeably there is with interal parts on this model and my older models.
