Manufacturer’s Description
The 85FS Cheetah sports plastic grips and is chambered in .380 ACP for those who prefer the light recoil and report of a higher caliber, smaller pistol. Very accurate out of the box, its ambidextrous safety is easily accessible by the thumb for right- or left-handed shooters.
Features include:
- a high-strength nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel barrel with a hard chromed bore for longer life;
an open top slide designed to virtually eliminate jamming and stovepiping; - a firing pin block;
- fast, sure target acquisition from standard three-dot system. Notched rear sight is dovetailed to slide. Blade front sight is integral with slide;
- an ambidextrous safety;
- a reversible magazine release. Button to accommodate right or left handed shooters;
- an anodized alloy frame offers superior corrosion resistance. Matte black finish is non-reflective;
- a combat-style trigger guard. Provides support for a two hand grip and offers an enlarged opening for easy access with gloves; and
- a double action trigger. The first round is full double-action mode, and the second and all subsequent rounds are fired single-action.
Note: the 84FS Cheetah and 85FS Cheetah are the same except for their magazine capacity. The 84FS carries 13+1, while the 85FS carries 8+1. The 84FS may be slightly wider, too. —eds.
