Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Beretta 87 Cheetah in .22 LR with a 3.81" barrel is a compact, nicely balanced rimfire autoloader that translates the sleek lines and controls of Beretta’s Cheetah family into an economical trainer and enjoyable range pistol: built with a steel slide mated to a light alloy frame, the 87 wears a deep blued finish on many examples and a modestly contoured grip that fits a wide range of hands, giving it a feel more akin to a scaled-down service pistol than a toy. Mechanically it’s a simple, straight-blowback rimfire design whose cycling is smooth and intentionally tolerant of modern .22 loads, and it feeds from a detachable box magazine (common factory capacities sit in the neighborhood of typical rimfire mags) so reloads are familiar and straightforward; the sights are user-friendly—a clear front blade and a rear that’s driftable or set for practical aiming—making the gun easy to zero for the short defensive and training distances where .22 LR shines. The 3.81-inch barrel provides a comfortable sight radius without making the pistol unwieldy, improving inherent accuracy and muzzle stability compared with stubby pocket pistols, while the modest weight forward of the bore helps steady the pistol and tame the rimfire impulse for repeatable follow-ups. Ergonomically the 87 points naturally, with restrained texturing and a classic Cheetah silhouette that many shooters find both elegant and instinctively pointable; controls are conventional and unobtrusive so manipulation drills transfer well to larger centerfire Berettas for those who use the 87 as a training stand-in.

Finish and fit on good examples are typically tidy rather than flashy—neat bluing, crisp machining lines, and practical grips—so the pistol not only handles well but also looks the part in a modest, old-world Beretta way. In service the 87 is prized as a pleasant plinker and an affordable trainer: it offers the ergonomics and manual familiarity of a full-size handgun while keeping ammunition costs and recoil negligible, making it well suited to new shooters, anyone practicing sight and trigger work, or an owner who wants the classic Cheetah experience in a pocketable, rimfire package.
