I purchased a Beretta 81 at Auction last year. It came in original box with instructions/owners manual. I've been looking for a holster. Holsters I find are listed for the Model 84. Both Pistols are referred to as "Cheetahs" and it looks like all dimensions are the same. My .32 holds one less round than the .380 and weighs 1 oz. more.
Will my .32 fit a holster made for the .380? 81 into 84?

  Dimensions are the same for the pistols . Only the caliber is different.

  I looked it up in my book on the disassembly of Berettas, by J.B. Wood. He notes that they are similar. The only difference between the 81 & 84 Beretta's. Beside caliber, is the grips on some were wood and others plastic.
  
  Dimensions noted for the 84, are.
  
  Length, = 6 3/4"
  
  Height, = 4 3/4"
  
  Barrel Length, = 3 7/8"
  
  Grip thickness of the different models and grip material, not noted.

  Thanks everyone! My Bianchi Holster "used" for Model 84 arrived today AND my Beretta 81 slipped right in just fine and the strap snapped tight around the back strap.
