Tisas Fatih B380 380 ACP Wood Grip Pistol – Reliable Classic Compact

Description

The Tisas Fatih B380 380 ACP Wood Grip is a compact double-action/single-action pistol patterned on the classic Beretta 84 Cheetah. It pairs an aluminum frame and steel slide in black Cerakote with wood grips and a 13+1 capacity.

Tisas Fatih B380 380 ACP Wood Grip Overview

Tisas sells this model (factory 11000103) in the Fatih series. It has a 3.94-inch steel barrel, overall length of 6.9 inches and an empty weight of about 23 oz., light enough for carry yet heavy enough to soak up the modest recoil of 380 ACP. The double-stack magazine holds 13 rounds, two are included, and the controls include an ambidextrous manual safety with decocking function. Fixed sights use a simple dot layout. The open-top slide is the same layout made famous by Beretta, giving reliable ejection and easy cleaning.

Classic Cheetah-Style Design

For decades the Beretta 84 Cheetah set the standard for full-featured 380 ACP pistols, but originals are now expensive. The Fatih follows the same blowback, open-slide design. It is a straightforward, proven layout that runs well with a wide range of ammunition and appeals to shooters who like an all-metal pistol.

DA/SA Trigger and Safety

The first shot can be fired double action from a decocked hammer, with a long, heavier pull, and following shots are single action with a short, light pull. The ambidextrous safety also decocks. Practice the transition from the first double-action shot to single action so it does not surprise you under stress.

380 ACP Strengths and Limits

380 ACP recoils gently, making the Fatih a good fit for shooters sensitive to recoil or with less hand strength. Its energy is lower than 9mm, so choose a quality defensive load that penetrates adequately, and expect ammunition prices close to or above 9mm. Blowback pistols in 380 also have a stiffer slide than you might expect, so try racking it before buying if hand strength is a concern.

Size and Concealment

At 6.9 inches long, the Fatih is bigger than a micro 380 but much easier to shoot well. The double-stack grip fills the hand and gives 13 rounds, more than most compact 9mm pistols of similar size. Holster options are more limited than for current polymer pistols; some Beretta 84 holsters fit, but check the exact model.

Wood Grips and Finish

Wood grips give the pistol a classic, warm appearance, and the black Cerakote finish over aluminum and steel is tough and corrosion resistant. Spare magazines and parts are less common than for the Beretta original, so buying an extra magazine early is a good idea.

State Laws and Ownership

Some states restrict models through handgun rosters, and a few cap magazine capacity at 10 rounds, which would exclude the 13-round magazines. Check your state and local rules before ordering.
