I often bring my 15 year old daughter to the range. I got her a Ruger single 6 that she enjoys. But now she wants to shoot something bigger. I have an 92FS and a Walter P99 both in 9mm, and have after changing the grips on the Walther so she can try it. But she doesn’t really like the recoil. I guess it’s still a bit much for her small size. I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a Beretta 84FS Cheetah and getting it re-barreled so that it’s not a prohib. I can deal with the extra cost. I was wondering about the pros & cons or just the experiences of those who have tried 9mm Kurtz or the Beretta Cheetah
Beretta Cheetah in 9mm Kurtz (380 ACP), any1 shot it?

I've got an 84 Cheetah (.380 ACP) and I really like it. Even with Pachmayr grips on it, it still doesn't feel big in my hands, and I am blessed with stubby fingers!
Recoil is very manageable (the grips help a lot). If your daughter could physically handle the 9 mm recoil, despite not actually liking it, I would think she would have an easier time with the .380. It's a fun gun to shoot.

Ive got an 86 CHEETAH. Good for small hands, tipup barrel is nice for a weaker hand that may not be able to rack the slide when necessary. Recoil is managable. Fun to shoot and restricted not prohib!
where can I get one of those?
that would be a great little gun For my daughter to shoot,and wife....and me
