The video opens by revealing the number three choice on the list: the ADX Cheetah. The host immediately emphasizes that, despite some preconceived notions, this pistol is actually a very impressive firearm. It is described as delivering everything shooters appreciate about a smaller Beretta platform, but in a size that fills the hand better and feels more controllable. The host notes that the ADX Cheetah fits the hand well and can be shot with confidence and comfort. There is a playful acknowledgment that the gun has some heft, joking that it is a good thing the host works out. This introduction sets the stage for a closer look at how the Cheetah balances classic Beretta characteristics with modern concealed carry expectations.
Attention then shifts to the ADX Cheetah’s physical characteristics, especially when compared to a Glock 42. The Cheetah is clearly heavier and larger, and that difference is highlighted as soon as it is brought up against the much lighter Glock. The host points out that this extra size and weight are noticeable for concealed carry, especially for those who prioritize minimal bulk. Viewers are reminded that carrying this pistol on the body requires more awareness of holster choice, belt support, and overall comfort. While it is acknowledged as a bit big and heavy for some concealed carry setups, the discussion frames these trade-offs as part of what makes the pistol more controllable and pleasant to shoot, rather than as outright drawbacks.
The video then focuses on how the ADX Cheetah performs on the range. Despite its larger size for a .380-style carry gun, it is praised for shooting extremely soft, with a very manageable recoil impulse. The host notes that the pistol can be shot quickly and accurately, describing it as shooting really well and even super fast. Capacity is another strong point, with the Cheetah offering 13 plus one rounds, which is generous for this class of handgun. This combination of soft recoil and higher capacity makes it appealing to shooters who want more capability than a .22 but dislike the sharper recoil of many 9mm pistols. The segment underscores that the Cheetah’s weight and size directly contribute to its comfortable, controllable shooting experience.
Finally, the host highlights the ADX Cheetah’s key features and who it best serves. The pistol comes optics ready, allowing users to mount a red dot for faster target acquisition. It uses a double-action/single-action trigger system, giving a longer, heavier first pull followed by lighter subsequent shots. A dedicated decocker is included, and there is a lighthearted remark that every gun is technically a decocker, but this one provides a proper, safe control for lowering the hammer. The Cheetah retains a classic Beretta feel in its ergonomics and shooting characteristics, appealing to fans of the brand. The video concludes that this is a phenomenal concealed carry option for shooters who find 9mm recoil uncomfortable yet want more punch and capacity than a .22, making the ADX Cheetah a compelling, if slightly larger, concealed carry choice.
