Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately, reading through the comments, I am appalled at how many people think this is not an issue, and criticize your video. (Push it all the way. You can still see a little of the red dot. Read the manual. Are they f****g kidding!?) This is clearly a massive issue! The fact that there is any kind of intermediate position that a user might inadvertently place the safety in is completely unacceptable. If a person pushes the safety with his thumb and feels a click, he is going to quite reasonably believe the gun is in safe. I just watched a video by a very respected and experienced gun reviewer who literally fired a round inadvertently believing the gun was in safe. Someone WILL get hurt because of this. It's mind-boggling that the manufacturer has not taken immediate action. There's no jury on the planet that will rule in Beretta's favor after being shown what's in this video.

Lord help!! Look at all the keyboard Rambos criticizing this video. TH-cam is starting to get more like Reddit everyday. SMH Thank for the heads up on this quirk. I stumbled across your video because I'm considering a 80x, and it's a good thing to be aware of if I'm going to be training my family to use it.

There is no flaw, only inexperienced ppl. There is no halfway, there is no C & L, this is not a 1911. It functions exactly like a Bersa. Very very safe guns both...for ppl who know their operation and have common sense.

Its a hammer drop bro. Working as designed

Hey half cock isn’t a position of this safety read the owners manual before preaching about the controls of your firearm. You are using it wrong it’s a 2 position safety all the way up is safe all the way down is fire if you’re somewhere in the middle you’re using the safety wrong it works perfectly and there is nothing wrong with the design.

Thanks for posting

Wake up people! This IS an intentional safety position! There is no flaw, engineering problem or whatever. Examine how the safety (de-cocker) works in single action. You push the lever all the way up (two clicks) and the gun de-cocks with the trigger free. Now go to double action mode. Push the lever up (one click). The hammer was already de-cocked and now the trigger is free. To quote the 80x's owner's manual; "WARNING: Always ensure that the safety is fully engaged until ready to fire. A safety is fully engaged only when the safety can move no further into the safe position. A safety which is not fully en-gaged will not prevent weapon discharge."

I;m an 80x owner and I actually burst out laughing at your. There's a rule of shooting that says; "know your target and what's beyond". There's also a saying about any new gun you buy; "Read the owner's manual". If you just go out and shoot a new gun (or someone else's), the first order of being a responsible shooter is read the manual, familiarize yourself with a gun before shooting the first time (that means know EVERYTHING about it). It's pretty obvious Beretta deliberately set this "middle" position on the de-cocker. Anyone who suggests this deliberate engineering design is a "flaw" has to be some sort of a moron. They design a gun, make protypes, test, adjust, test etc. until the manufacturer has what they intend, then they produce it. Now get a grip because the setting is intentional. So, knock off the "WARNING, WARNING". You'd think you were Chicken Little or that ronot from Lost in Space. I can't believe you're not passing out warnings about Glocks not having any "safety", as in, did they really intend that little bar in-between the trigger to be a safety?!

Mine will fire in that position, and you don’t even have to push trigger to the side… just a regular pull will do it.

Thats no issue rather just a issue with your using a gun the wrong way

Hey brother I have never heard anyone saying or talking about this type of issues you are having with this beautiful piece. Thanks 🙏 for sharing because i just literally purchased this exact gun and I hope I don’t encounter these issues at all. You got yourself a new supporter here. I would appreciate support if possible!

You’re never going to be able to put that back together. I would be interested in buying the shell as long as it still locks for about 75$

Guys watch out the gun fires when the red circle is visible

Great run dude!!!

Only an issue if you make it one by not understanding the operation of the decocker/safety

Can the battery be replaced without having to do all of those other steps first?

THE SAFETY WAS NOT IN FULL WAY POSITION

Thanks for the input everyone! This seems to be a dividing issue. I might make a follow up video and 10 month review of the pistol. I have been carrying this as my primary EDC.

No safety issue at all. Not sure what your on about.

Good video ❤. Please can you say the name of the song playing during a video ❤❤❤

The safety is between your ears use that one correctly and you wont have any problems.

This gun needs to be recalled, this is awful and im so glad you posted this, i was about to buy this for EDC but that should not happen whith a brand new gun, i imagine it will get worse after 5k rounds

Great, now when we get these pre owned theyll have these "idiot marks" on the edge of the slide. Lol

Why would you think the gun is locked when you can clearly see the red dot (firing position)

I think you basically didn’t push the safety “all the way”. I tried it and found that if you don’t push it all the way it can sorta stop halfway thru the motion. Basically push it completely.

no cock and lock for this pistols, you need to push it to the end and cover red mark

Thank you. I've been wanting a Cheeta.

Push it all the way up so the dots covered completely when the hammers back

With mine, you don’t even have to push it over… just pull the trigger, and it WILL fire. No such thing as cocked & locked with this weapon.

On and off are the safety positions. Halfway in between is not a position. Use the firearm correctly, as designed. Apparently, it's not idiot proof 😂

You see red you could be dead. Mainly because 1. You didn't read the manual. 2. You pushed it and made it stop halfway between safe and ready too fire with RED still showing which means it is not in safe mode. Why anyone would do that is beyond me. Either all the way up or all the way down. Don't manipulate the safety. I personally in 80 years have never seen a 3 position safety.

Ahh man… I was gonna get one next summer when I arrive back to the USA. I think I’ll wait for a second version of it instead 👍

Seems to me there's all these people talking shit about a problem that doesn't exist. You can make anything mess-up if you FUC_ with it long enough! Beretta has been in business since 1526 You think they have just been getting lucky for 497yr's!!

Very elaborate! Thank you for the teardown, the box will make a nice gun safe. I wish that they put same effort in R1S sub. 1st thing I had to upgrade because of it's anemic base.

Yours might be defective. Mine doesn't do that. Its a hard click on, and a hard click off. No in between.

I've got an 80X. There is no middle position for the safety. Engage it, the gun decocks and the trigger goes dead.

I tried with mine. When the safety is in the halfway position, it doesn’t disengage the trigger, it fires whichever way you lean on the trigger. Only one thing I noticed with mine the first day I shot it, there were a couple of instances where the trigger didn’t reset. I made sure the slide is back all the way

Nice Shooting! Can you add a large thumb safety on one side and still be legal for IDPA CO?

Damn if I push that lever from P to R the dam thing goes backwards it must have a flaw oh what a minute if I push it all the way to D it works like I want. Damn people should stop hammering on the gun. Just because they think you should not have to know what the hell your doing!!Learn how to use what ever your trying to operate and stop blaming the item for your lack of knowledge.

Very little tilting

Few stovepipes there? Is that a common issue? Considering this for USPSA CO

Read the owners manual.

Interesting comparison of older cheetah's safety/detent...showing 3 positions? starting at 5:27, th-cam.com/video/ocijb16ACc4/w-d-xo.html

The Beretta is not designed for cocked and Locked. The procedure is Decock and leave in safety position or decock and take off safety and carry in Double action. ALL of the hand guns information on operations is clearly written and explained in the owners manual. No need to visit the website.

It’s de-cocker only!! Beretta makes the best firearms period! 500 years!! Get with this program!!🇮🇹🇺🇸❤️💪🏼👍🏼

Looks like detent hang up. There's only two positions. But that fact that I did gouge the slide, is shitty.

Beretta..👍👍👍

Luv the Beretta 80x Cheetah 💯 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 , wish we could own pistols here in the UK

I don't really understand people saying that this is "not" a problem or that it's not designed to be carried that way or that it showed up on the older cheetahs. When you get two different results (fire and not fire) based on how you pull the trigger (a little left or straight) when the safety setting is the same for both of them, you got a problem. Thanks for this video man. I guess I'll skip the 80x until Beretta figures it out and comes out with a new version.

Safety is either off or on. Problem fixed.
