If you're looking for a project gun, there are some kind of rough surplus model 84s for cheap on GB. I got one and have replaced a couple parts, put on new grips, and will give it a coat of Norell's when I get around to it.

I purchased what I consider an excellent condition 84F for about $300 on GB. |

No longer in the catelog. Never that common to begin with. Nice guns but a tad large for a 380.

Quote HistoryInteresting. I wonder if Beretta shipped the machinery to Turkey, like they did with the Condor. |

I bought a used Cheetah 84F off GB a couple months ago, and could not be happier with it.
The 84F shoots great. Big for a 380? Maybe compared to my P3AT, but it is so much more capable. |

picked up my 85 about a year ago. have not found a better firing gun or anything that feels as good as the 85 in my hands. ive even had people that would rather shoot themselves than admit that beretta is a good company admit that my 85 was the tightest firing gun they have ever used. if you havnt found one yet, dont give up because i promise you you will not be disappointed with it

Beretta does still make them but they are not being imported at this time. Beretta Italy is pretty backed up with mil contracts and the 80 series are a lower priority. They will import them again but will likely need to have a pretty large order to do so.

I own 2 model 84 pistols and was pretty much was late to the party AFTER Beretta USA quit listing them. I bought a well used, older surplus, but serviceable Model 84 pistol off of GB for $350 about 2 years ago. I believe it was the first version of the 84 and most likely from the 70s. Its in the safe waiting to be refinished back to factory standards.
About a year ago, while making my pawn shop run, I can across a Like-New +++ Model 84F for $450 with 2 factory 13rds magazines, which I grabbed up real quick. They are still out there, but on the "secondary" markets. Also, about 2-3 years ago, they seemed to be in greater demand and the prices reflected that, but the prices have been coming down to a more fair market prices, so you should be able to find one at a good price right now. The only down-side to the Model 84 pistols are the magazines.... Beretta factory marked magazines are $45 (+/-) a pop, but the Mec Gar made ones are hovering at $19 (+/-) per magazine. I believe that Mec Gar are the "OEM" for most of Beretta magazines, so it depends on how important markings are to you. As for its size, yes, its a big .380, but still a nice gun and a joy to shoot. I also own both the Walther PPK/S and the Sig 232, but the Beretta is a far better shooter. Good luck!! |

MDS (Beretta owned mag company) makes all of the Italian Beretta OEM mags. Mec-Gar did make some in the past but that has been a decade or better. They are just as good as factory IMHO and for 1/2 the money that's what I'd go for.

Minor issue feeding HP though. Ramp could have used a good polish. |

Beretta hadn't imported many at all for a while and a couple hundred came in the country a few months back. Several of the nickel plated guns sold for over $1500 on Gunbroker, one went for over $2000. Crazy.

Here is a like new one for $550. http://www.gunsamerica.com/908141706/Stoeger_Cougar_Compact_Version_Bruniton_Black_9mm_13_1.htm Not a Cheetah but this Stoeger compact in 9mm looks interesting. Only wish it didn't have the slide mounted safety. Stoeger is Beretta's machinery they shipped to Turkey. |

My 84FS Cheetah was the ONLY pistol I've ever owned that NEVER had a failure of any kind.
EVERYONE that ever shot that gun LOVED it. It is with great remorse that I ever let it go...except that I got my 8040F Mini Cougar in the trade! 
Still, that .380 Beretta was AWESOME. 102-gr. Remington Golden Saber ammo was perfect. Accurate, potent, and never a problem whatsoever. GET a Beretta 84FS if you can find one. GETTA BERETTA.

Coles has some on Gunbroker - all are buy it now just $1 more than auction price. Condition ranges from poor and pitted to excellent prices vary from $229-$350.
I got a great deal on a used Browning HP from them and a S&W 469 from their lot of Israeli trade in handguns. Some good bargains in that pile! |

I recently acquired in trade an 85f that's a 8+1 that came with 5 magazines. It's a work of art. Can't wait to shoot it. Wish it were the higher cap one, but that's ok.

Went out with mine last weekend and it was a hoot. Real fun gun to shoot. Once I became comfortable with the trigger, I was able to shoot it very quickly and score hits. So far, I really like it and am glad I bought one. |
