Beretta APX A1 Compact Review and Range Time
Join me as I unbox and test a Beretta APX A1 Compact in 9mm. I take a look at its basic features including trigger weight. Then using some Federal Brass 115 grain round nose ammunition, I first take some steady shots off a bag to see how well it groups at 15 yards. Then I take some freehand shots at some steel.

Winchester Model 62a Sight Adjustment
มุมมอง 45414 วันที่ผ่านมา
After replacing the front sight on my Winchester Model 62a slide action rifle (pump action) I take it out to the range and attempt to sight it in. The sight was replaced due to it missing the small brass bead. I also ended up replacing the tubular magazine to fix the issue with the rifle failing to eject the last round. Using a sight drifter, I tap my rear sight to adjust the windage. Watch as ...

Recently my buddy went camping with me. He shows up with this crazy looking Ruger 10/22 pistol called the RUGER 22 CHARGER.

Magnum Research BFR Review and Range Time
Hey Tex did you ever chrono that winchester Super X?
I don't think so! I didn't have my chrono back when I made this video. I plan on doing some more ammo comparisons soon.
The 22 pro is not powerful enough for the gun too cycle the action.
I agree. They claim it is a 40 grain bullet at 1085 fps. That should work the action. These must have been an underpowered batch.
Cz75 is a myth❤
Thanks for watching! The CZ75 is an amazing pistol.
Did you test any full magazines, including + 1?
Unfortunately I did not. On a later date I did load the magazines and shot off some rounds, but I could only get in 14. The magazines are STIFF out of the box. I expect they will loosen up in time.
10"Kidd Match barrel, 3-12X PFI Rapid Reticle and Burris Signature rings with +/-20 inserts nets a lot of MOA. Took a 295 yd. prairie dog last year to win the long-range PD shoot comp. of Wy-Shot this past June.
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing SSCoyote. Kidd makes some amazing stuff. I have a couple of their trigger systems on two of my 10/22s.
straightforward, honest review. your beretta apx1 doesn’t seem to be a pleasant shooter. i am a revolver guy. my sole 9mm pistol is a springfield xd9, which i like. thank you.
@@jtns2845 thanks for watching and I appreciate your kind words. The XD9 is a great pistol. Another great contender of the strikerfired market.
Hope it gets better. I started switching to red dot. My aging eyes need the help. 😊 Thanks Tex Mex
@@J0j0m10 thanks as always for watching JoJo. Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving!
@ Have a good Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the shooting and evaluation. Not too impressive performance for a Beretta pistol. But thanks for taking us along anyway.
Thanks as always for watching Frank. The pistol itself was very reliable, it was just the trigger that gave me some issues. Hoping it gets a little better as I get more rounds through it.
Now that's Italian! Good review brother, I hope you've been well
Thanks as always, my friend. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
@@texmexshoots Eh, lost my little combat kitten & good buddy last night, so i'm pretty bummed today. Circle of life, but it still sucks. You have a good thanksgiving too my friend.
@ I’m sorry to hear that brother. I’ve lost a few of my fur buddies recently as well. Sending prayers your way
@@texmexshoots Right back at your furry friends as well man. Have a great night and thanks very much.
None of my guns has a preference of ammo I'm old school an if I don't hit my target it means I did not hit my missed
Thanks for watching Roger! You’d be surprised at how much rimfires tend to prefer certain ammunitions
What is the w for in the ammo wmr
@@rogeralaniz2205 Winchester magnum rifle. Apparently the round was originally created by Winchester
Hello of France, I 've bought this gun , and she's wonderful......since one month in my great garden I making fuls shoots.....very good gun , great quality , précision ok .....sorry for my english......ciao ...
@@eddycamp2492 Greetings from Texas! Tikka makes a wonderful rifle. I’ve been very happy with its quality and accuracy. My wife studied in France for a year during college. We are hoping to go visit in a few years during December and visit some Christmas markets. Take care and good shooting!
You have to close the cylinder differently, it rotates counterclockwise you are closing, and jamming the hand in clockwise direction,...when you close move your rounds one more hole to the right, and be turning counterclockwise, as you close.
I was unaware of that. I appreciate the info!
With the gun unloaded, get some good gun oil, turn it upside down, a drop one drop of oil, in the trigger opening at the front of the trigger, and next time you shoot, make sure you let the trigger all the way released after fire, Its not a semi auto trigger.🇺🇸🍺
Thanks for the info Randy! I appreciate the help.
The Henry instructions Says not to use anything less than 158gr. Thanks for the video comparison.
@@gordonhood6265 Thanks for watching Gordon! I appreciate the info. Always important to read the manual
Does anyone believe that either manufacturer has separate manufacturing lines for bulk versus packaged? I’ll bet the only difference is diverting the same ammo to one packaging step or the other. Would be interesting to see a video of them being made to confirm.
I would love a tour of a manufacturing plant! Although no one produces ammunition near me. At least not that I know of. Maybe someone with industry knowledge will come along and comment.
Hmm 🤔, groups on open sights seem pretty normal, but the red dot (IMO only) seem a little too large, inconsistent. Ammo, shooter, or gun?🤷♂️🤔. I can’t stand those rubber/wood inserts, but to each his own. Hogue grips, wood or their “rubber” grips (stocks?) just work better for me. Glad you were shooting at 35 yards. I can’t stand folks shooting at @ “7” yards! If your pistol & you can’t make a group of 2-3” at that short distance, you need to spent some more time at the range shooting! 35 yards, excellent. I like 25 - 50 yards, cause if you can hit from there, 7 yards is a piece of cake. Thanks for the video 👍😎.
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. I agree that the Hogue grips are superior to the wood insert grips. For some reason I fell in love with their look back in the 80's when they first became popular and that is why I have them on both those revolvers. But truth be told, I'd shoot them better with Hogues. Especially in 357. The big rubber grips make them much easier to control.
Here in South Africa the CCI long is available at many places. But, it does not sell very good. I bought one packet to test but the precision is not good, that might be why it is not selling good, so you are missing nothing important.
Thanks for watching John, and greetings from Texas! What brand of 22 long rifle ammunition do you prefer that is available to you over there?
@@texmexshoots We get most of the popular ammo like the different Lapua, Eley, RWS, SK, CCI, Federal, Aguila and also some of the bulk boxes. My favorite is CCI Std vel and S&B Std Vel as it shoots good out of my rifle and the price is right. SK Std Plus is also good but not better. I tried some of the more expensive and precision ammo but with my rifle I don't get better precision and value for the price.
@@John-Nel Sounds like you have some great choices. I like CCI SV as well, and shoot Eley Target which might be a little better. Did one video testing some "Match" ammo out of a Tikka T1x and Ruger 10/22 LVT. I would like to get my hands on some SK and Lapua to test as well.
@@texmexshoots I have only the one rifle in .22LR, a Winchester 9422 with a Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 scope on it and I love it. While it is far from a match or precision rifle, it is capable of 1MOA on a good day but not always. I tested Eley Match, Tenex and Lapua Center-X, but it does not do better and I need a precision rifle to get the full value out of any of those, so I stopped testing the expensive stuff. Racing fuel does not make a slow car faster and precision ammo does not make a sporting rifle a match rifle. The best ever I got from the 9422 is 7mm (0.54MOA) at 50 meter and 15mm (0.52MOA) at 100 meter (109 yard), all with the CCI SV, but I could not repeat it for now. I would like to have a Marlin 39A and a Browning BL22 as well but they are not common here.
Thanks Tex Mex! LOL I was thinking this was the full review. That's what I get for not reading the title completely. We'll it leaves me something to look forward too. So I prefer these "enclosed" red dots like this for my turkey hunting shotgun. It keeps the trash out. I have a reflective TruGlow on my shotgun and it works great, but is exposed to getting dirt or leaf litter in it blocking the laser from projecting the dot on the reflective screen.
I agree. Although they make some great Reflex style sights for pistols, I would prefer enclosed ones for them as well. Just easier to maintain.
Mecgar makes a great magazine for the S&W 59 & Marlin camp9. Throw that pro mag away.
I love Mecgar mags. Been a big fan for a while. I just recall having trouble finding this particular model in stock.
Looking forward to mounting, sighting-in and then shooting with it. I will forward this along to a friend who might be interested in a red dot.
Thanks Frank! Need to get that video edited. Lots of target camera footage which makes it a bit more work intensive. Hopefully within a couple of weeks I'll have it uploaded. My next video is about the continuing saga of my Marlin 39a misfire issue.
@@texmexshoots Looking forward to that, too.
Man, I've been torn between the two for a while, and this video only makes me want both.
Well Cory, that is the right answer. 😁 But if you can only have one, make sure to feel them in your hand first. That will help you tip the scales one way or the other.
I think I have a MidTen bipod and scope I got for review at one time.
Thanks for watching Boom! How did they work out?
Nice unboxing. Love the motion wake system. I have a couple red dots without it and wish I had it.
Thanks Jojo. Seems the motion wake is becoming a standard feature now. And they all crank up to 11 😄
It's amazing how many red dot companies are out there now.
Yup, I've got another already on the way 😅
@texmexshoots keep em coming lol
AE 158 JSP grouped like crap out of 20in R92. Velocity was awesome at 1850fps
Have you tried Blazer Brass? They have a 158 JHP.
@texmexshoots not yet. Might try those out next, especially for the brass. Handholding and finding really good success with 140gr xtp with H110
very well done video. no heavy metal music or tactical hype. ruger single six is an everything sidearm.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. The single six is the pistol that I carry the most when out hunting or just hiking around the property. A very versatile and handy sidearm.
@ thank you. a ruger single six is my get-home, car-trunk, survival-backpack piece.
Cock it, not cock it back.
I scratched mine all up BUT. SHE STILL STANDS. MENACINGLY IF I MAY ADD. two rounds I used for hunting purposes are the CCi hollow point and the CCi TNT. Trust me yall. Coyotes don’t stand a chance with those TNTs
A scratched up rifle is a well used rifle! I need to try some of those CCI TNTs. See how well I can group them out of this rifle. Thanks for watching!
Do Revolvers like a 38 special need less maintenance?
Not necessarily. It depends on what you compare it to. However, all in all a 38 special revolver does not require too much maintenance.
@@texmexshoots Thanks for the response. I guess I'm comparing it to small handguns with clips.
@@unklecorky2181 Depending on how much you shoot, either a revolver or small semi-auto both may need to be cleaned. However, a semi-autos will require more disassembly to clean it well. Plus, they are also a little more complicated to function.
@@texmexshoots Understood. I'm looking at a Taurus 38 special with or without hammer snub nose. Probably with Hammer. Budget ya know.
@@texmexshoots You have a really good channel. Got to start somewhere ya know?
Thank you for this review! Good information.
Thanks for watching Tom! I'm glad you liked it.
Dang bud ur brave putting a chronograph that far out
I feel the same way about my target camera. 😅
Henry firearms aren't like they use to be what's the problem?
Thanks for watching! This rifle did like a couple of the loadings. Seemed to prefer the lighter and heavier loads.
Typical Kahr to jam up! I will never own a kahr ever again... lcp makes a great pocket pistol.. very reliable
Thanks for watching Frank. I agree that the LCP makes a great pocket pistol!
Gotta do something about the wad of phlegm at the back of your throat, just swallow man. Just couldn't listen anymore.
So...... I should forget about making ASMR content? 😄
This comparison really holds no value.. but I’m sure you had fun shooting
That's fair. They are in two different categories.
The shooting gallery carny says that's way too accurate 🎯😃
I want the big prize! The large teddy bear. The Carny better fork it over. 😄
I've owned a 6" Redhawk .44 , a 4" security six and a 5" Blackhawk, both .357. I regret getting rid of any gun. But such is life. Two weeks ago I bought another 6" Security six with a Leupold scope. And just found a limited edition snub speed six I couldn't pass up. All were/ are stainless! I've looked at those, just something about the odd # of rounds??
Thanks for watching Joe! Sounds like you currently have a nice collection. I think we've all felt the pain of missing a firearm we had to sell. But at least you found a nice Security Six, with a good scope to boot!
I'm always surprised how many guys don't know how to adjust iron sights.
I think that was the birth of "Kentucky Windage"
IIRC back in the '60s & '70s those fifles were plentiful used, & priced to sell.
Yes, there were great used Winchester rifles and shotguns on the market back then according to my FIL. Now they all cost a pretty penny.
It amazes me how many hunters dont sight in or zero their rifle. Opening day here is tomorrow, and several of the locals I know declined an offer to zero in their rifles for them or to provide my range for them to do on their own. More deer for me, I guess.
@@Valorius Maybe they don't want to know how mediocre they are. If you "don't know it" then you can blame it on the rifle, or the sun, or other hunters.
Sadly find wounded and dead deer every year due to poor shots/unzeroed rifles.
Even a close friend of mine, who was in the Army, didn't realize he need to sight in the laser sight he attached to his pistol. Thought all he had to do was mount it on the rail and it was good to go. The sad part like Hobowalker said, is them carelessly wounding animals and causing unnecessary suffering.
It is a beautiful day in South Texas. Where exactly are we? I do not recognize this landscape. Nice little rifle. Thanks for talking us through the changes that were made to it and your upgrades. I've never seen a "sight tapper" like that but I can see how handy it is to have in your range bag. Where do we find it?
Hey there Frank! Happy Friday! This location is near Barksdale Texas. More "Central" Texas than South. Is in the TX Hill Country which is beautiful but has some rough terrain. The sight tapper is called the "Wyoming Sight Drifter". I found it on the Skinner Sights website: skinnersights.com/collections/accessories-1/products/wyoming-sight-drifter

1000 feet per second is out of a rifle not pistol
That makes perfect sense!
Had to get off another video because he was trying to shoot these out of a 10-22 he was messing up, these are really for pistols
Definitely! I suppose you can use them in smoothbore rifles, but certainly not in any semi-auto.
Mine has timing issues. I took it completely apart against the advice I got online in hopes of solving its problems. I sat on it for over a year before putting it back together.
Mr. 42pyroboy, you are a braver man than I. I'll only dabble in very minor gunsmithing. Thanks for watching!
For the Aguila 22LR Hollowpoint, there seems to be 2 different versions of the 50-rd box of 38 gr hollowpoint. Sometimes, both descriptions says Super Extra Hollow point but the other one is just Hollow point with less velocity. The Bulk one matches the Super Extra Hollowpoint 50-rd box I bought before.
Thanks Magsonin! You are correct. It seems they make both 38 and 40 grain hollowpoint rounds. I assume the 40 grain would be the slower round.
I disagree the CX4 is only for plinking. It’s a good home defense weapon or carbine to carry in the car or truck
Another thing to consider, it is light and has low recoil for a 9mm PCC. Now that I have friends who have had severe shoulder injuries or surgery, shotguns or even an AR setup can be a bit much for them. That is where a rifle like this can really shine for home defense.
Informative video, thanks for posting. I
Thanks for watching! This great little pistol has become one of my main carry options. Especially when I need to use a pocket holster.
