Thoughts on Beretta APX?

[mstagg]

Other then it being uglier than sin, it looks like a nice little pistol. Im slowly becoming fed up with polymer pistols, but this one looks decent. May have to try to get my hands on one when I can.

I don't know about you guys, but Im ready to read nothing but overwhelmingly positive reviews that totally ignore any negative aspects of the gun!

It seems like it would be a fine gun, but they're a little late to the party. I doubt the APX will gain much of the market share. To make a significant impact with a new polymer, striker fired pistol it would need to be somewhat revolutionary or heads and shoulders better than the rest. I don't see that in the APX.

We all have our biases and believes but, within a price range, most every manufacturer is pretty darn competitive.

The beretta 92 is one of the best looking and shooting handguns ever made but lately beretta has been making some ugly guns. The Pico and now the APX are just plain ugly.

I handled one today, the grip is nice with a pretty short trigger reach. I didn't try the trigger though so I have no input on that and that is so subjective anyway. Slide seemed a little wide to me. It was selling for around 550.00.

Beretta is supporting the APX with accessories already, all though I haven't handle one there are a few positive reviews by trusted people out there. Botach was selling the I believe for $480.00 or something like that, having options is a great thing and I would like to try the APX.

Yawn....With all the other polymer striker fired pistol not sure what the Beretta, CZ P 10 or new FN have that's any different other than a different name. But maybe it's just me.

We talked about it here when it was released in the Argentina market a few months ago:

Agree, just like all of the 1911's out there.....

Wasn't knocking anyone choice personally just the APX or any new design isn't for me. There are more than stryker fired polymer handguns and AR 15's The thing with 1911's are that with the exception of type of extractor all are pretty much the same design with parts interchangeability much like the AR"s but even that gets old. Other than someone being brand loyal the Beretta, CZ Remington and whatever is about 10 years late. You can go about anywhere and get mags sights etc for Glock, S&W and now Sig (because the military just adopted it and are marketed on the modularity)

Thank you!

I was underwhelmed. I liked the grip and trigger, but the top end was overly large/clunky. It was like somebody was halfway through designing the gun, when the boss came in and said "we need something to submit for the military trials NOW!"

We (Indy Arms Co) got one in just because it's a new gun and somebody would want it. It sold fairly quickly, but I don't know if we'll be ordering more now that SIG has locked up the military contract with the 320/M17.

I saw the Hickok 45 video.... A piece of the mechanism comes out of the slide when you pull the trigger. like a round bar. When Hickok pulled the trigger and the part was blocked it did not fire.

It has A good grip, other then that it's just ok....
