Beretta has just added threaded barrels as a separate option for the new 80X Cheetah line of pistols. Beretta announced the updated Cheetah models at SHOT Show 2023 to include a railed dust cover, optics-ready slide, and an updated trigger. However, the threaded barrel option has arrived only 14 months after the official launch.
