7/11/2023 0 Comments Beretta 9mm apx review![]() The second shooter felt it was the best feeling gun of the three. The gun fits the hand well, and has good texture. I was asked about that based on the slide ribs. No issues with drawing, firing, holstering. Couple of classes and a dozen matches under his belt that had shot neither the XDM nor the APX before. The gun was compared directly with a Glock 19 with factory sights, gen 2, stock trigger and aĭraw and fire at 7, 6 inch 6 plate racks at 10, mag changes, etc.Ī second shooter was brought. It has a slot that works great with the APX mags. I used the front pouch of a factory free XDM gear double mag pouch. Holster was a Civilian Ghost from the BERETTA USA website. Still still APX pouches on the Beretta web site. But the slot/notch facing the wrong way on the rear pouch. The factory XDM mag pouch has a notch in the front that makes it hold the mags very well. I will have a holster on the next range trip and can get a more active feel for it. I look forward to seeing spomething like the combined fiber optic/tritium sights come out for it. ![]() While I think they are better quality than stock plastic Glock sights, and more potential accuracy and speed than say, classic M9 sights, there is a good selection of sights out there offering better combined speed and accuracy.Ī slightly larger gun, with better sight radius, designed for competition, such as the XDM 5.25, with sights for such, thus left it in the dirt on the last range trip, The sights seem to be deisigned for above average speed and acceptable combat accuracy. Speed and accuracy, until different sights, will nipot be at full potential. I will make another trip to the range Thursday. But I do understand concerns, such as guys with 2.5 pound comp triggers in their carry Glocks that will go off if drooped and are the equivalent of carrying a 1911 cocked with the safety off. It is a typical 5.5lb trigger, but has a very short, crisp pull and amazingly short reset. Someone here was concerned a PPQ is not a suitable carry trigger. I do not like that gun enough to own one and am going by memory.īut still not the amazing short pull and reset pull of a PPQ. It is Perhaps very close to almost on par with a VP9. And while, in stock form many prefer it to the Glock, it is way easier to upgrade a Flock trigger. For some reason the leave the factory with a range of 4.5, like mine, to 6.5 so # of pull. There is a lot of variance in opinions on the XDM trigger. I rank it above a stock Glock, M&P, and XDM trigger.īefore I was liking my XDm trigger more. I suspect my example was at the very high end of acceptable protrusion. This really improves my appreciation of the trigger. ![]() I have sanded down the trigger safety so it fits flush. (Where SIG got this concept wrong, and where Beretta got this right, is the SIG requiring a complete grip module change to change the grip size, something you can't even test in advance without spending about $40 on a grip module.) I look forward to shooting it in the near future. The first two really aren't that big a deal since these are not presumably regular functions, although SIG got this right with the P320 as these functions do not require any tools or pin removals. My three design qualms are with (1) the fact that you need a tool to change out backstraps (2) you need to remove a pin to take out the chassis and (3) that firing pin block pin that pops out when you pull the trigger (although since it's on 92 series and PX4 pistols, I almost think it was a conscious choice for continuity in Beretta pistols rather than a design necessity). I picked up one of these a couple days ago at a LGS and having given it a good look inside and out I think it's a well built and rather handsome pistol (the slide "serrations" are much more aesthetically pleasing and less exaggerated than they appear in most photos, and do make racking the slide or press checks about as easy as they can get). ![]()
