I first thought this was hideous and that I would hate it. I unfairly formed an opinion early and thought I'd never be able to get passed it... Then I held one. This thing feels fantastic. Now I want one. Just picked up a P320 so it will be awhile, but it's officially on the list.
treadhead44 I did the same thing and as soon as I held it I was like oooooh nice
I have the APX, P10c, and FN 509. I prefer the APX over all of them. Thing is I didn't want to like it and now its my favorite!
Totally ditto! Ppq, vp9, g19... like them all. Got the apx and it’s now my favorite, not sure why? Lol. But it is.. freaking love it
I chose the FN 509 over the APX in mid-2018. When Beretta lowered the price on the APX to $329 in late 2019, I snatched one up. I found another APX for the same price today so I grabbed it. I haven't been able to like the CZ P10c enough to buy one yet.
I think it's a gorgeous pistol. Thanks for the review MRGNG. I'm a big fan of Beretta products and this is no exception. Cheers doc david
Excellent video! I decided to pick one up and give it a try. Thanks for the great videos and information as always. Have to see if Mrgunsngear has a video on anything before I make a purchase.
Can't go wrong with a Beretta!!!! Great review thanks. This is one I'll be purchasing.
thank you
Really appreciate your reviews. Very straight and to the point. Efficient. Not all of the dribble like some others that take 45 minutes of your life away to review a Swiss Army Knife. Keep up the good work!
Most informative video on the APX to date, thanks!
you're welcome !
Beretta makes quality stuff, I may have to give this a look. Thorough review as always. Thank you sir.
you're welcome
Nice, I have too many Berettas as is and now they come out with this, looks like another one on the list. At first I was like I didn't like the look of it till I saw it in person.
thanks for the feedback
Thanks for another great review of what I consider one of the best polymer framed striker fired pistols available. The firing pin safety pin that protrudes out of the top of the slide is a Beretta trait to let you know the firing pin safety is working. They have the same thing on their 92, PX4 and Nano series pistols so it is nothing new and to me it's a non issue.
I'm looking forward to your complete review of CZs P10c which hopefully will be out later this month.
The Berretta apx is gorgeous and looks amazing!! I like the color scheme of it aswell!!! and that's for the pistol!!!!
Going to diversify our family gun collection. The ODG frame looks awesome!
As always, great review. I love the full size APX and will own the Centurion as soon as they start shipping.
thanks for the report
Thanks for the information you are the first one to mention it comes with a metal guide rod that is what I need to know before buying one.
You're welcome 👍🏽
Beretta lowered the price on the APX to $329 in late 2019. I bought one and I love it. After I bought it, I wished I'd bought two. I found another APX at the same dealer today (in the middle of the COVID19 outbreak) for the same price. So nice, I bought it twice!!
Good video If I ever go to a striker fired pistol this will be a consideration.
The firing pin block/striker pin block protruding from the top of the rear of the slide is quite common on Beretta firearms as the trigger or striker is being released, including the 92FS, PX4's, etc. It's a visual clue. The PX4 subcompact is the only pistol in the stable where the firing pin block does not protrude from the top of the slide. I would certainly think you could easily mill or sand it down to get it from protruding from the slide if you wish or would have need to.
as always, great video.
once again,great review and insights ty !
thanks!
As always great review!
thanks
Great video makes me want to go out and get one. Beretta has quite the history over 500 years its gotta be good right!
seems like a solid pistol. i like the slide. good review.
Travis L. Yeah. The handgun looks sweet.
Awesome video. I am thinking of buying the APX for my next gun. Just made up my mind.
wow that od green one looks great
DJ Granny I love that it's almost a foliage green.
Great review. Just ordered one last Friday (along with a Steyr M9-A1). Wish I could make it on 13 May, but will be on vacation. Appreciate the channel.
thank you
Guess I should've watched your video first after all lol. Thanks and great review
thanks
loving mine!
the pop up striker safety is also used on the Beretta px4 series. the APX is comparable to the Steyr/Bubits designs with the ergonomics (the over hang over the web), the low bore, and the modular chassis design (that Sig borrowed for P320). From the outside they all look somewhat alike, but the real differences in pistols are in the mechanical design which to the general consumer doesnt seem like much, but that subtle design change can mean the difference between a good pistol and a great pistol. hope you NEVER actually have to need one but it's comforting to have.
thanks for the report
i did not think i would like this gun but in the hand its awesome.
thanks for the report
Great review as always! They really went down the p250/320 line of modularity. Sorry to hear about that pipe burst in your basement. I know the feeling. Gonna smell like wet sock for a few days lol.
Good video. Thank you.
I have a APX and I realize that if you rack the gun and pull trigger then push the take down pin it’s a lot easier and when putting it back just rack the slide and the take down pin would return its self
Hated it at first.. handled one... shot one.. bought one.. it’s now my fav striker gun!
thanks for the report
U do good honest straight forward reviews. I liked everything about the pistol when I finger banged it yesterday, except the fact u feel like u have to wait for the trigger reset like u stated. That in itself was a deal breaker for me so I didn't rent the gun...had excellent ergos though.
i agree with you im trying to find out if anybody else has had those trigger return issues, because if they do i probaly wouldnt buy it thats a deal breaker for me too
humm...I thought the slide cuts looked pretty cool. ..
Frank_dado_Potts I agree, I think they look good and functional as well. It's a good looking pistol.
Me too
Toblerone!
I think so too. It looks like a gun inspired by Jurassic Park or dinosaurs with the slide serrations, jagged back of the trigger, and grip texture. A very rugged look in my opinion.
Best looking slide by far 😎 and its a Beretta 🇮🇹
I like everything about this pistol.
awesome
Mt first pistol. Was $330 or so. Very reliable, great quality for the price. Comes in 9mm and .40. I want to get the .40 also soon to diversify my rounds. In a survival situation (like an ammo shortage) you never know what ammo you'll have access to.
long live this channel
The slide cuts are excellent for manipulation. The grips is very nice too. I do like the trigger. My biggest complaint is the thickness of the slide. At the widest parts of the slide it is the same thickness as a Glock 21. Overall though I think it's a pretty good pistol.
concur
Looks great
Love your channel.
thanks
Gun looks good, especially in that green.
I held one at my local gun store, and while I like the gun in general, there is indeed something "off" about the trigger. I am with you in that I cannot quite determine what is up with it, but it feels different than any other striker trigger I have pulled. I am unlikely to purchase this one, but I am eagerly waiting for a compact or sub-compact version.
As always a great review. Do you plan on a review of the Ruger American Pistol?
That OD Green looks awesome !
absolutely
Great review as always, thank you sir. I'm curious to see the APX Centurion with 15 +1 rounds instead of the APX compact with 13 +1 round capacity. If you can get hold of one it would great to see a review.
got one inbound; stay tuned!
great review! I don't care about looks it's a self defense tool not a fashion accessory. I just wish they designed it to take 92 mags
That would have been intelligent.
+paguy You lie! lol ;-)
Fui Gebhardt I don't either
I think it looks pretty cool, almost has like a syfy space agey kind of look to it.
paguy I wouldn't want to be seen in public with that playschool grade looking plastic
damn nice looking and shooting. I shit one and was blown away at how it felt with a 6# trigger. I carry my m&p full size 9 with an apex flat trigger and forward set sear and the trigger had almost no travel breaking at 2.5# and I was still impressed with the Beretta. but let's face it the oldest arms manufacturer is not going to put out a shoddy B(g)lock or pig 320.
Thanks for the great review. Do you know if Beretta will be coming out with a compact version ? How bout size/caliber conversion kits ala Sig ?
Looks like a nice pistol.
love your videos, that gun looks good something different, beretta make good guns,
Thanks
Thanks for the vid. I'm thinking an APX Compact can't be far behind.
Great video! Is the pistol offered with a manual safety?
Great review! I'm loving my APX. I put a 3 part review on my channel as well. Not nearly as nice as yours, but I'm new to the video thing and I'll get better. Thanks!!
How do you like that Notch hat? I have a black one and a tan one. They are great when wearing safety glasses.
I kind of like it a lot...!!
Nice review. Looks like it has long slide rails? How is the polymer quality? Looks like it might be kinda soft and scratch easily. I really love the polymer on my PPQ. Super hard, high quality glass infused polymer.
Which do you prefer between this, the P320 and the PPQ?
The point you made at the end of the video about the piece coming up and out of the slide, the Beretta M9s have something similar as well. Which is interesting since it is DA/SA gun and the APX is striker. I think it has to do with disengaging the sere. Just a guess.
It's an indicator that tells you the firing pin safety is disengaged (when protruding). If the gun is in your holster and the pin is protruding, you know the safety isn't working and the gun needs service. In essence, it's a warning that the gun isn't drop safe. You will find this feature on many Beretta pistols. Years ago they had a patent on it.
Has there ever been so many choices?! This must be the golden age of handguns!
nope
Great video
Really appreciate that man!
did you experience waiting on the trigger to return like he was desribing?
I would say that the reset isn't very affirmative, but as mine broke in that did get smoother. I wouldn't say that you're waiting on it to reset though. But his unit and mine may have had some slight differences.
ok thanks thats the only negative i found because i based me getting one off of your video you posted then mr guns and gear mentioned the reset but thanks i have one unrelated question would you say the cajunized p07 or p09 is as good as a cajunized shadow?
Never shot the shadow, but since it starts as a higher level gun I would say that the cajunized shadow is better, I'm sure it will cost more though. Plus the Shadow is kind of a target gun versus the p07 is intended to be a defensive gun. Not that either couldn't fill either role.
Great review! But on the field strip if you release the striker first it's much easier to take down.
thanks
Isn't the date wrong on your security camera? LOL Anyway, great vid and interesting pistol!
I wouldn't mind having one, the slide serrations did turn me off at first but they've grown on me. The do-hicky that pops up in front of the rear sight when pulling the trigger is kind of a deal breaker for me. Like the Chiappa Rhino red thing that pops out.
My father got the full size APX a few months ago for $399 before the $100 Beretta rebate. It's an excellent pickup at $299. While it's not my absolute favorite handgun, it's up there with some of the best. I think if more stores carried the APX (most gun stores I've been to usually just carry the 92 FS as the only Beretta pistol) it would be more popular.
In case anyone bought any of the Beretta APX line (everything except the Carry version) from June 1st - July 31st 2019, you can get a $100 rebate as well!
thanks for the report
Looks pretty neat. Just a thought but I think if you shoot standing with hands and pistol maybe resting on one of the sides of your truck bed, you might get some better groups. When lying prone with a pistol people tend to bend their arms more causing your eyes and face to be too close to the pistol making it harder too shoot accurately.
thanks
Nice review. It looks like a new gun for Robocop. It should serve as a good HD handgun.
indeed
I'm impressed that they can fit 17 rounds into that narrow grip.
I have one an apx and the serial number is within 20 of yours and I guess they had a bad day that day, they forgot to paint one of my rear site dots and it looks like they barely painted yours. Thank goodness for site paint. 👍🏻 good gun though I liked your review.
mine was solid until I put a bunch of rounds through it
really like the look of this pistol slide looks like it's just asking to be racked with those large serations. wish it took beretta m9 mags would make life a lot easier.
Actually with the A1 variant they made a plate to go over to allow an optic to be mounted
I think I would go with the new CZ striker pistol over this berreta from what I've seen so far
Thanks for the review. TP9SF Elite grouped better.
Love mine! Great shooter,could of made it easier to switch frames.
man i really love mine thinking about getting one in 40sw
nice
Rural King has this and 3 mag's and holster for $450
Nice slide lock. I like them far forward like the M&Pv1.0 so Baretta+1 over 320? Imb.
I was looking forward to this review, hoping that there was something compelling about the gun that would make me want to order one right away. However, it seems that it's just another good striker fire gun with a great entry price. Looks like others striker fire guns, like the PPQ, are still slightly better then the rest.
fair enough
Got mine slightly used. New condition. $339 out the door!
I do think the basic takedown and removal/insert of the serialized FCU of this aren't as simplistic as the P320. I'm not saying they're impossible, but I wonder if the P320 scored some points in those areas (assuming the APX was in the handgun competition).
There are a lot of choices in the Glock 17 size that are great and this is one of them. :)
That recoil spring looks like Kirsten Dunst's teeth.
LongCut Arizona you win
LongCut Arizona I've never noticed her teeth...I've always found myself looking a little lower. ;o)
Bewbs!!
LongCut Arizona omg that's funny!!!😂
Both need custom loads.... :)
The thing sticking out from the frame when the trigger is pulled, is the firing pin block. For whatever reason Beretta has the firing pin block protrude from slide on a lot of their pistols, 92, PX4.
correct, "striker safety" in a striker fired gun
Really weird Beretta put one that would stick out on their strike fire pistol.
LOL. I could probably pick up a couple of these before the CZ P-10c makes it to market...
Hey Mike, any info about IWB holsters for this beauty?
When are you going to announce the winner of the primary arms scope?
good lookin glock
Gonna be my next gun purchase. I've always been a fan of the 92fs and really like the looks of the APX. This should give the other stricker fired handguns on the market a run for their money. Great review.
In a over crowded polymer frame market it doesn't really stand out enough for me to wanna buy it. When you have companies like Canik and the new CZ P10c out there for less money it's a no brainer. But that's only my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. Lol. Great review though, always appreciate your hard work on this kind of stuff
thanks
The APX looks pretty sweet in my eyes and it definitely runs nice. You must have been hiding the Mrgunsngear B channel from me lol, perhaps a link in the description will help get more traffic over there :-)
concur
How would this compare to the Springfield Armory XD Mod 2 or Gen 4 Glock? Considering all these options for a carry gun.
GREAT vid, Mrgunsngear! Originally, the look of this was kind of "meh" for me. Seeing this in a two-tone coloration has me rethinking that. Hard to say if I definitely want it, but...
thanks
If you could only choose one, would it be this, or the px4 storm? Thanks.
SHOW MUST GO OOOOOON!!
Thank you for not calling a reversible mag release ambi. It drives me nuts when folks do that; it discredits the few manufacturers who actually make an ambi gun.
Honestly, if I'm going to buy a Beretta I'm buying the 92a1. If I want striker fired I'll call Mr. Glock see if he has one to spare ;)
Great review though as always, I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
92A1 is great
Great video as usual. But I just can't get excited about another polymer/striker pistol. Nothing wrong with them. I have some. Just that when another "new" pistol comes to market we're supposed to get excited over something that's not in any way functionally better than what's been around for years and proven.
Cole Dedhand I get what you're saying but more competition and choice is a good thing. Keeps quality up and prices down.
agreed i didnt see this coming i think i want a berretta!
Cole Dedhand well said. The recently announced striker fired handguns are a little late to the party.
Want one so bad. It came out 3/15/17 and I still can't find one anywhere
I thought the return/recoil spring was damaged when I first seen it. I had to rewind to look again,
ha
Im a noob shooter and purchased the Shadow 1 as my first handgun a few months back. I had the chance to fire 10 rounds from this particular Beretta and I REALLY enjoyed it; however, the target I was shooting at already had 100 rounds through it and was pretty ventilated, meaning I couldn't tell how accurate I was shooting. My business partner swears that the Shadow is a far more accurate weapon than the Beretta. Human error notwithstanding, would you say that is an accurate assessment of the Shadow vs the Beretta?
no way to know without a ransom rest
