**NOTE**: According to an email I received from Beretta, cocked-and-locked carry (hammer cocked with safety engaged) is not an intermediate position but, rather, is a transitional step where the safety lever stiffens against the decocking lever. While, at that point, the trigger bar should be disconnected - it’s not guaranteed. Thus, if you carry cocked-and-locked, you do so at your own risk. In this episode of TFBTV, @JamesReeves believes he has found the best .380 ACP pistol ever made, and he thinks it might be the new Beretta 80X Cheetah. The 80X is basically the Beretta 80-series reborn. A compact .380 doublestack pistol, but with new features like night sights, optic readiness, more aggressive slide serrations, and a pic rail, among other features. James tells you why the Beretta 80X is the best .380ACP pistol on the market today. • Best .380 Defensive Ammo: Federal HST 99gr .380ACP https://bit.ly/3OdmVaU • Recommended Optic: Holosun 407k https://bit.ly/3YKsmQw ⇒ SUPPORT US AND WIN FREE GEAR EVERY MONTH ⇐ TFBTV is viewer supported.

Cocked-and-locked (hammer cocked with safety engaged) is not an intermediate position but, rather, is a transitional step where the safety lever stiffens against the decocking lever. While, at that point, the trigger bar should be disconnected - it’s not guaranteed. If you carry cocked and locked, you do so at your own risk.
