The Beretta 86 is a distinctive member of the Cheetah family featuring a tip-up barrel mechanism. The barrel tips upward at the muzzle, allowing a round to be loaded directly into the chamber without operating the slide. Intended for users with reduced hand strength or those who find traditional slide manipulation difficult. The longer 4.33-inch barrel is surprising in a tip-up design and gives it a target-pistol feel. Type: Pistol Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: .380 ACP Capacity: 8 Year introduced: 1991, Italy Weight: 23.3 oz Overall length: 7.3" Status: Active Intended use: Concealed Carry, Recreational
