Mine is an 84F that came in on the surplus market. I think I got it off of gunbroker for around $250 or so and she's in great shape. It's quite comfortable to shoot and 100% reliable. While accurate, mine shoots a little left and the stake in the rear sight dovetail is pretty heavy so I guess I just need to aim a little right when shooting it. Really though, it's a pretty good pistol and one of the better deals I got on it too.

I don't own one yet but everyone I've talked to ho owns one loves them
I've also read that for a .380 they really don't have much recoil due to their pretty large grip |

Shot a buddies. Great little pistol. Good control layout and ergonomics, pretty good size for concealment, and I shot it well right
off the bat. Ran perfectly when I tried it and he says it has never had a malfunction. ETA: Note that the 86 has a tip up barrel which is really nice for people who sometimes have difficulty racking a slide. |

I have an 84, it's a sweet shooter. My wife enjoys shooting it,and new shooters seem to gravitate to it when I take it to the range. One day I'll run across a tip up barrel for my wife,she has arthritis in hands, they are great for anyone with a weak grip. Make sure to check prices online before purchase there where quite a few avaliable used fairly recently
If the one you're looking at has a tip up barrel I'd jump on it. I don't run across those often. |

I too regret selling my 85 several years back. I'm not on a full out search for one, but if I come across a good deal on an any of the .380 variants or even an 87 I'll probably jump on it.
A couple of thoughts though. These are blow back actions which makes racking the slide extremely difficult and recoil more pronounced than tilting barrel actions. My wife can handle most 9mm semi autos as far as racking the slide and dealing with the recoil. It's a chore with the Cheetah. |

If the price is right, I'd get it, especially with 3 mags (if factory/Mecgar).
