I’m amazed at the things that people find to complain about with a solid reliable gun like the APX. Don’t like the tactical? Buy an A1 FS. Want something smaller? The A1 Compact is a 15+1. Reliable as hell, good ergos, modular chassis design, optics ready and good trigger. Where’s the problem?
Exactly, it is almost like they are getting paid to knock this firearm, and it works flawlessly, fires everytime. This is not the first channel I've heard complain about silly things. The one thing it does better than most is handle muzzle flip.
it isn't well supported, even by Beretta, that would be my reason for not buying it for anything other than fun. It seems to be an excellent gun though.
@@matthewschiebout7384 It's plenty well supported. Compared to the Glock, which has more aftermarket options than stars in the sky, no gun is well supported
I have the APX A1 Mine was going to be my in the bedstand Pistol after 250 Rounds of nothing but accurate shooting along with zero issues it my EDC. Such a reliable firearm
With the rebate I got an APX A1 full size for less than $350. Almost everything this guy complains about either aren’t real issues or subjective. Lots of reviews say the trigger is great and gets better after a few hundred rounds. It doesn’t take Glock mags… The horror!
He wants it to be smaller with 15rnd mags? Then he says it didn’t gain popularity like the 92 (a bigger gun). The APX was originally built to compete with Sig and Glock for the military’s new sidearm. Probably why it’s so reliable. It’s a duty/military gun, not a CCW gun. I’d rather go to war with the Beretta than his PSA.
I can careless what anyone says about these guns , the apx a1 is an amazing handgun for the price! I own 5 models and all have ran flawlessly. They sell really well in my state , every time I see them in stock at my local stores they always sell them quick, my Scheels had 26 in stock they got that day I walked in and sold them all in a week. I’ve owned so many different brands of firearms but I carry a full size apx a1 everyday because it shoots amazing and the ergos are spot on for me !
It’s always the Glock guys who find excuses to complain/hate on berettas. I have a few from the first Gen APXs and the New A1s, they’re the most reliable handguns I own with no issues and affordable cost. My experience with glocks are bad including constant jams with the 19.
I own one and love it! Not only is the gun itself very affordable, but the magazines are as well, and that makes a big difference if you are stocking up on magazines for a SHTF pistol. For me that means ten magazines, which adds up in a hurry. Great gun all around.
Sorry that was for the regular full size. The tactical was $100 more. So, $499 but with the $100 Beretta rebate it will be $399. I bought mine at Shoot Straight Casslberry Fl. But, I have seen them online for the exact same price. You will pay the $499 up front them have to wait send for the $100 rebate. Hope that makes sense!
Paid $289 after rebate and got 4 magazines. Hard to beat that for a reliable full size HD type pistol. Hopefully the value will sell enough that the aftermarket grows. I hear it’s hard to find sights, though that’s all it really needs…though I wish the optic cut was a bit lower. I’d love to see Holosun cole out with an enclosed SCS for it (like their 320 SCS).
Never used the de-cocker button. Never had an issue with take down. Do like other systems better. Trigger gets much better after break in. Incredibly reliable duty gun for $400. +$40 for the optic plate I need vs paying $500+ to get a handful of extra plates I don’t need seems a better deal. Gun range guy said it was most reliable test gun they had. If I paid $650 or more I might complain about a few small issues. If $650 I would probably buy something else.
Just an FYI. I have the A1 Compact Tactical. Needed a holster, so got the Safariland with the thumb lock and only had to slightly modify the locking mechanism with a dremel to make the Sig M18 holster work.
As an italian who bought the 1st gun and chose the APX A1 FS, the only issue I had but fixed was the lever. I figured out all I need is a flat surface, push the button and lower the lever. I am not strong so that's on me but other than that I don't have any issues
I have a compat model. Got it for 299 after a rebate. It is a great firearm. My problem is there is not any after market suppressor sights and it is very hard to get mags. Especially if you live in a state that bans standard cap mags.
I really like mine. However, when I’ve had non-experienced shooters practice on mine they can sometimes stove pipe failure due to limp wristing. I think because the slide is so big and chunky it makes it a little more susceptible to it. I’ll admit it happened to me once when I shot my first mag and was shooting lazy, never happened again. In about 700 round now that was my only personal failure. My son stoved it twice but he’s 12 and my friend did it once but hadn’t shot a gun in 10 years.
I really liked mine, especially the ergonomics and shootability (trigger is meh though), until I got to about 500-600 rounds. That’s when I started having more and more FTE issues. Sent it in to Beretta, they eventually sent back a new one including with 2 new mags, but I’m now having those issues even with the new pistol. Something is wrong with the extractor or something related to the design of how it extracts. Super disappointing 🙁 Going to start looking at alternatives that are known for better reliability (like the CZ P10 F/Glock 17/Springfield Echelon/etc).
I have the A 1 Compact. My compact has 15 round mags and takes up to the full size 20 rd. It is one of the best buys out there. Far better than some other guns costing more money. The only problem I see is that Beretta's bread and butter is fancy shotguns. Other than the 92 series, Beretta never really gets behind their guns like say SIG. Perfect example is the really nice DA/SA PX 4 its been out for years and always flew under the radar. Sig has frames out including that from Wilson in their modular design. The other thing they should have designed the gun to work with 92 magazines Trigger is pretty darn good and gets better with break in, no its not a Walther but its a fair better than the last Glock I bought. About best buy out there.
tcompares single action 92 to double action striker fired. What a hit piece. This is a great option here in the states. Marketing could be waay better. Thats what causes te problems. Price is spot on as well.
Love the tactical, is it the best gun I own, probably not, but it’s a solid unit. I believe the main issue is advertising, you don’t hear a bit about them out there. Second is for those who know the market, their customer service sucks the big brown eye. Getting the right optic plate is near impossible.
I have the compact and love it shoots great, I rented a full size apx before I got it and the full size shoots even better. The size of it doesn’t bother me much but is the only thing I could say might be an issue for people
Not sure if it’s because I shoot mine often but mine isn’t hard to rack at all. It was pretty tough when I first got it. Almost a yr in, it’s super easy
I have tons of 9mms. my APXA1 Tactical is one of the most COMFORTABLE shooters I have. That doesn't mean it's my favorite, but the comfort is definitely there. I'm still pissed that Beretta excludes optics plates and does a proprietary cutout that doesn't allow direct-install with any of my Holosun, SF, or Trijicon sites. That's stupid.
But mine does have a contrasting red dot on the front. Perhaps, it's slightly different because its APX A1 compact and this one is APX A1 Tactical?? But they should have left the red dot option as standard for all esp on tactical model
Who's it for? Someone looking for a striker fired pistol from a world renowned company who has a long track record for making "military grade" firearm's.
What company makes the magwell adapter for the PSA dagger? I've desperately been trying to get my hands on something like that because I love the feel of the dagger grip but I HATE that triangle hole. I have ENORMOUS hands and the squish inside the triangle hole and when i fire my PSA dagger( which is actually a glock gen 3 with the PSA dagger lower) the mag moves ever so slighlty and pinches my skin. Not enough to hurt or make me bleed but just enough to be annoying. But, I hate the angle of the grip on a glock and I hate the grip itself. It's too slippery when wet and the dagger grip is SO much better. I just hate that dumb triangle hole. Please let us know where we can grab that new magwell adapter!!!
who makes a good owb holster for the a1 compact? im getting into competition shooting and want a holster that isnt mushy for my battle belt. any input appreciated!
The newest versions of the apx a1 (especially the tactical version) comes with a cerakote instead of the standard gun blue. That's why it's more shiny. It's supposed to protect from corrosion better.
So the APX could in some senses be considered a flop… in the US. This is actually very successful internationally (as a matter of fact, it is currently their most manufactured gun at the moment). It is very popular in Europe and South America. Beretta does very poor at marketing because civilians are not their primary market. Contracts are. Civilians are at times sort of an afterthought for them.
@@GearKnowHow In Europe, various Italian and French police departments. One big contract was Poland police. And the Albanian counter terrorist group. There’s biggest contract was Brazil national police. Finally, three departments in the US (Gallatin, TN, Wetumpka, AL, and Glendale Heights, IL). There also popular in competition in European IPSC
I think they are about $499 with 100 rebate, seems like a value for $400. Also the people I know that shoot them suppressed had no issues, no need to change anything.
Like the Berretta Px4 Storm the Beretta APX never caught on with Americans. It's too bad because both are excellent pistols. There are other firearms with lifetime warranties, not a one year warranty with two extended years. So why by the Beretta over the others at similar prices? The Beretta APX and Beretta Px4 Storm will go down as a flop because of lack of interest of interest and sales.
No body uses the decoding button. They just take it apart like a glock. M&P uses a decker too (that no one uses unless you got a mag safety) and it's in a worse postion.
You can't compare a DS/SA trigger to a striker fire. That's like comparing a 1911 to a M9. ALL striker fire triggers a somewhat mushy... otherwise it would be like a single action.
So IMHO this model should be compared to other tactical models like the HK and FN with threaded barrels. Designed for special units. No weak hands will be operating these in theory. The price is unbeatable right now at euro optics with $100 rebate 3-21rnds mags the price is unbeatable.
Why would you decock a striker fired gun, especially even using that button? Disassembly takes me literally 5 seconds. Reassembly is also just as quick. Just make sure the gun isn't loaded, point in a safe direction, pull the trigger, turn the lever and pull off the slide. Simple. I don't see the disassembly as a negative to this gun.
@@jeffreygoss8109 I've never heard of this unless it's a rimfire. I have over 3000 rounds through my old APX and I can't tell you how many times I've dry fired this gun. Now, when I got the gun, I did upgrade to a new striker because when the APX first hit the market, they had issues with the Striker, so I upgraded mine. But I think since they had the issue, they upgraded the striker on all new releases.
Poor review, where is the big flop? I have the full size and the only thing that is truthful is the hard slide pull. It needs at least a 500 round break in.
Dude if you’re going to talk about something, at least get some important facts straight. The APX-A1 Compact has 15-round magazines, not “actually 10-round mags.” The standard mags (not extended ones that come with the APX-A1 Tactical) for the APX-A1 Full Size are 17-rounds. And the APX-A1 Carry is a completely different gun altogether and is assembled in their US plant, not Italy (and it’s pretty lousy overall). At least the confusion for the Carry can be chalked up to the name though (Beretta really should have called it something else).
I just received my new in tactical APX A1, and right out of the box it’s going back. Very disappointed. Beretta has issued a return. Why, first the striker release button does not work- essential to remove the slide, second the take down button and lever does not work, ok maybe 5% of the time. Third the finish is peeling off the rear of the slide, fourth the finish Is coming off the right side slide release and finally the finish I’d coming off the right side slide serrations. Seems like lately the newer design Beretta pistols have quality control issues. A friend bought the APX compact carry and right out of the box tge trigger did not work! It took Beretta two months to repair it and send it back to him. He does not trust it and will sell it. I plan to get rid of mine when it’s repaired. I just lost trust in Beretta, maybe 500 years is long enough.
This is a terrible review😂. You compare it to completelydifferent style handguns. My favorite was "this is some how lighter." No shit, you have a ported slide, .5 inch smaller barrel, etc. Turned off the video after 12 minutes of wasting my time
please the Us whored itself out to sig when they undercut Glock with the 19x and Beretta withe the app both better than sig by far I have Bothe both are combat proven and will not go off when dropped
Dude just described gloc. I shoot all of them. But dont do that. Give credit when its due. And take juice away from your g caliber company. Beretta shits on gloc and they always will. I have 4 glocs and love them. But for a real shooter compared to a beretta apx??? Gloc is less than perfection. Pretty close just lik Beretta.

It’s a great weapon.
Don't like the clip like the clip to fit flush
I just received my new in tactical APX A1, and right out of the box it’s going back. Very disappointed. Beretta has issued a return. Why, first the striker release button does not work- essential to remove the slide, second the take down button and lever does not work, ok maybe 5% of the time. Third the finish is peeling off the rear of the slide, fourth the finish Is coming off the right side slide release and finally the finish I’d coming off the right side slide serrations. Seems like lately the newer design Beretta pistols have quality control issues. A friend bought the APX compact carry and right out of the box tge trigger did not work! It took Beretta two months to repair it and send it back to him. He does not trust it and will sell it. I plan to get rid of mine when it’s repaired. I just lost trust in Beretta, maybe 500 years is long enough.
I have one the trigger is not the best
You like this gun stop lying and tryna find something wrong w it
Amateurs... well atleast u made it..
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I wish he did he homework before Maki this video.
This is a terrible review😂. You compare it to completelydifferent style handguns. My favorite was "this is some how lighter." No shit, you have a ported slide, .5 inch smaller barrel, etc. Turned off the video after 12 minutes of wasting my time
The original apx was never popular either so go figure.
That’s my thinking. Not sure what they can do to change that.
nit picken
APX A1 TAC ♥💎♥💎♥
please the Us whored itself out to sig when they undercut Glock with the 19x and Beretta withe the app both better than sig by far I have Bothe both are combat proven and will not go off when dropped
Dude just described gloc. I shoot all of them. But dont do that. Give credit when its due. And take juice away from your g caliber company. Beretta shits on gloc and they always will. I have 4 glocs and love them. But for a real shooter compared to a beretta apx??? Gloc is less than perfection. Pretty close just lik Beretta.
