$479 is a pretty sweet deal for what you get. The RDO version of the original APX if you want it to be optics ready is already more expensive than that. Not only is it cheaper than the original RDO APX, this comes with all the new features and it's a recently released gun.
I purchase this gun yesterday. According to Beretta they do not provide a optic plate and you cannot obtain one for free either. You have to order it from them and they are $50.00 on their website. I’m waiting and hopefully they change that to provide one plate at least. Currently I’m using an optic plate from another APX I have. All the optics plates from any previous APX work with this one (excluding the A1 Carry).
@@STF34 I had no idea. Wished they would have included a free optic like they do for their M9A4. I hate that they followed CZ, HK. FN, Sig, and so forth. For an optics ready pistol, not having it comes with plates like the M&P Core and IWI Masada sucks. At least give us a free plate like Walther does and their method still saves the company money 😭 even C&H precision doesn't make anything for Beretta so we can't even get the high quality metal plates if we wanted to over the polymer ones these gun companies sell. Thanks for letting us know though.
@@JacksonWalter735 It makes sense not to include plates though. If you're going to include plates, you may as well give the customer all of them and if you're going to do that, the gun gets more expensive. Also what are you going to do with all of the plates that you don't use? Give them to someone else who bought the same gun and also already has the plate he needs because he also got all of them? You aren't going to interchange optics so you only need the one that you need. When you factor in the cost of the gun and the plate you need, you're still at a reasonable price point. Edit. It's kinda like apple ditching the chargers with their phones. Sure it's a dick move but it does make sense logistically, economically, and environmentally. If nothing else, its a conscious effort to reduce waste
@@MrImOriginal that was just one of the options I suggested. The other one was to ship out a free plate like they were previously doing in their other optics ready pistol.
Absolutely love the APX line of pistols. I have four of them all different versions (FS, Centurion, Compact, and Carry). I’m definitely going to get this! Apx is still one of the best striker fire pistols and definitely worth the money! I have a centurion combat and it’s still one of my favorite pistols I own.
The centurion combat comes optics ready and with a threaded barrel! I’ve since upgraded the iron sights to suppressor height sights as it came with the standard three dot white sights.
I'm super jealous you've got your hands on the centurion combat! The RDO and combat versions of the first generation is unobtainium these days. I own the FS and Centy and I'm seriously considering trading up my FS for the new A1!
This pistol did very well when the military was looking for a new SideArm and as we all know ultimately Sig won but a lot of that crap is political too
I love my 92’s. Compete with them regularly and anything that comes from Langdon is top notch. I hope he does some work on this model in the future. Enjoy your new gun! Good choice 👍
I have the previous version of the APX along with a 92, and I have to say I love the APX. I like most of the changes they've made, but I wish they would have stuck with the old slide serrations. They don't look the best, but they work really well.
@@DeplorableBitterClinger never handled the apx but the serrations on the new version look like they will work nicely. Not going to lie the old serrations were extremely ugly to me and one of the reasons I never gave the gun a second look lol.
@@jvz1448 The new ones look better, and probably work well enough. But the old ones were absolutely fantastic from the functional end. Easily the best I've encountered on a pistol. I will admit that even if the new ones don't work quite as well, changing them was probably the right move for sales.
@@DeplorableBitterClinger indeed. I’ll admit I may buy one now that they look better. I won’t buy a good looking gun that sucks but I probably won’t buy an ugly gun that is great(although I’ve owned some Glocks lol) unless it was head and shoulders above the rest. Too many good choices now days that look great and function at a high level. No excuse for ugly guns, although at APX price point can’t complain too much.
I prefer the more aggressive look and feel of my APX Centurion slide. It doesn't look like every other striker fired, polymer frame 9 in the market. When you held the new APX up with the G19, they looked so similar from the back that it's ridiculous. Beretta could have added a red dot plate option to the old design, made it completely ambidextrous like the new one and saved a lot of retooling in the factory.
Not sure if you shoot this often, but you should definitely do a follow up review. Especially to see if the trigger did lighten up from that 5.5-6 lb pull.
I just put a full down payment on one at a small mom and pop owned lgs. I'm totally stoked for this and can't wait to compare it to all my other strikers. It has one heck of a good price point, considering the brand. I trust beretta enough to not wait until all the new release gun bugs are worked out, like with other brands. Happy shooting!
I like the original Centurion APX, but could not get adjusted to the looks of it. Ended up buying a CZ P07. This new model is a winner it appears to me.
I like the gun got one my self. To buy Xtra mags ain't a problem. If they take regular apx mags there only like 28 bucks. That cheaper than other factory mags from other companies. Glock you be paying 30 to 40 bucks
Note on the trigger: assuming the slide internals are compatible with A0 parts, you can get a Galloway precision reduced power striker and steel striker guide rod, and that takes about half a pound off the trigger pull and smooths it a bit. I've still had mine function with even the crappiest steel and aluminum bulk. Also, if you really want to drop some cash you can import a TR-1 competition trigger from Italy like I did. That brings the trigger pull and feel pretty close to a PPQ or VP9.
If you are going to spend over $300 US or close to that shipped to get an excellent trigger, you might as well just buy the Walther PDP, PPQ, or VP9 in the first place.
@@fishfood8719 PDP literally didn't exist when I did this, VP9 would have still cost me almost $300 more than the APX AND the TR-1 trigger did, and I didn't like the PPQ. You might find this hard to believe, but I bought the APX at the time specifically BECAUSE it didn't cost a lot, I wasn't exactly loaded with money at the time.
i wanted the original apx i love the look of it but couldnt justify another 9mm already have 4 lol. now they drop this, glad to see evolutionI like the old slide serations better though
I’m with you lol. I wanted the original too. But I had enough polymer framed pistols and it wouldn’t serve a purpose for me. I’m happy with this one but I also did not mind the old look
When you register the warranty a couple of days later you get a coupon for 1 free optics plate. Beretta should mention this on web site or a paper in the box. If you want a manual you have to down load from web.
The only 2 things I don’t like about this pistol. 1. almost no one makes holsters for the APX A1. They do for the APX but not the APX A1. I’ve only found that black arch makes a reversible (iwb/owb) holster for it. 2. Absolutely no one makes iron sights for them. You pretty much have to get apx a0 sights and have a gunsmith custom install them. Other than that I LOVE mine.
I am really, REALLY hoping the A1 versions of the Centurion and Compact that are presumably on the way use the same chassis as the full size. Love my APX Compact, but I want to be able to have a longer slide. Shame they ditched the toblerone slide, though.
Looking at the chassis for this full size, I think it would be very silly if you could not put it in a Centurion or Compact model down the road. That would be a major missed opportunity.
@@InvidiousIgnoramus my full size and compact have the same length slide rails. I don't see any change in the interchangability. If you put a full size slide on a Compact/Centurion grip you're going to have a gap at the front of the dust cover with exposed recoil spring.
@@InvidiousIgnoramus IDK, mine will go together in that combo. Can't put the Compact slide on the Full Size, though, as the Compact's spring assembly is too large in diameter to pass through the frame and seat on the take down pin. I'm not going to shoot that combo, though, as the Compact frame isn't designed to adequately control the positioning of the Full Size recoil spring. And from the looks of the new FS A1, although they changed the type of spring, the spring assembly dimensions appear unchanged. With the gap at the front of the dust cover, they aren't going to intend the two slides to interchange.
Yeah, weight does not matter as much to me compared to a predictable wall, reset and break. Most movement and deviation of hits in regards to trigger press, is the movement pressing to the wall of the trigger. 🤷🏻♂️
As of right now, I do not. I want to get more time behind the gun before carrying it. For holsters, the Beretta website does have some but I am not sure how good they are.
I'm from Italy, getting this gun for christmas and an AR15. Here I found it new discounted for 590 euros or normal price it goes for 772 euros (still new)
@@Steadfast_Collective if you are into beretta, I think they allow ppl to visit their museum which is in the beretta HQ, they also got a gold 1/1 beretta that belonged to Ghaddafi. I saw this other YT video that was allowed to film their factory and they have a very unique AI machine the video is called: TSG The Beretta Factory Tour As an Italian I didn't expect the amount of work it was put to build just 1 weapon
The Beretta website online has them. I’m not sure if Beretta will give one for free. You may get one when you warranty the gun I didn’t see anything in the box that said you’ll get one free though
I'd like to wait for more modularity options, but at the same time, i know local gun shops that would, with time raise the price because of the demand and the quality/features this gun has to offer. Happened to me with the Zastava m70 rifle, bought for 830, now u could barely find it for less than a grand. 🥴
Totally understand where you are coming from in terms of wanting more modularity options. It is frustrating when gun shops do that. I would say if it fills a need get it and you can always sell it later if you don’t like it.
I have a question if you have an apx carry A1 modular pistol can I upgrade to an apx A1 full size???? And just buy the frame slide and Barrel and you can alternate between apx A1 carry and apx A1 full size????
@@Steadfast_Collective on the side isn't that the idea of the modular pistol because the apx A1 carry Max holds 8 rounds but it's a modular pistol so I'm assuming in the future if they come out with a double stacked 9 mm you could just swap out the internals... If you find out please let me know because I would just rather buy the frame slide barrel and swap out the internals to a full size or go concealed with a single stack
@@Steadfast_Collective the barrel is chrome-lined as long as it comes out of Italy not a hundred percent sure about the new US made guns and if memory serves it has a radius Crown not a Target crown which has a slight bevel to protect the rifling so just don't drop it on gravel and you should be okay
Contrary to most of the public's knowledge, this gun is not much different than the original APX. Both versions of the gun are modular, same components, 2 mags, trigger. The main improvements are the finish of the slide, all versions of the APX will be cut for an optic and the slide serrations and design are different. Also, a different set of iron sights. Otherwise, the same gun. The original APX had an RDO model which was almost $600. I just bought my A1 for $399 and it should arrive early next week. Can't wait also for them to release the A1 Centurion. That will be a gamechanger.
Bro..I gotta ask you..how the hell do you get this kind of camera angle when filming? On my rebellyfe shooter channel I've been tryin to figure it out lol..is the camera hanging from your hat? Lol please let me know..excellent video
why do you let go of the trigger when you're testing for trigger reset. that's the only thing anyone should care about is the trigger on this thing because it was horrible on the original. shoot to reset you don't let go of the trigger.
I understand shooting to reset as I do compete at a high level..if you turn up the volume you can hear the reset point. I was simply trying to show how much pre travel to the wall there was again. I am also by no means a “professional” reviewer and am still figuring it out. Thanks for the input 🙏
@@Steadfast_Collective I want to see a 3mm reset. I will buy one today! Sucks having to watch like an hour of different reviews to finally get to one where you can actually see it. LOL
Biggest mistake on this pistol it will need to be sent to a gunsmith if you want a lazer site. That makes the price point not so good, when you can by a Canik that is setup from the manfacture with a better trigger for less than it would cost to have have this pistol set up for lazer sites.
The best pistol I've ever owned.

I have been very impressed with the new APX!
Do you know if the original APX grip modules fit on the A1?
I honestly am not sure. I don’t own the original APX anymore
They do
Slidr Looks almost as long as a g17
Bro..I gotta ask you..how the hell do you get this kind of camera angle when filming? On my rebellyfe shooter channel I've been tryin to figure it out lol..is the camera hanging from your hat? Lol please let me know..excellent video
Haha I actually just have it hanging off the top shelf of my workbench. Nothing fancy but it works well
@@Steadfast_Collective thanks for the tip bro!! Much love
Is there a safety on this thing?
Not an external safety
Those look like the same mags as the original APX, but I won't be able to say for sure until I can get my hands on one of these.
Okay good to know, I’m sure it’s the same. I’ll have to find out.
They are the same
@@willshaneswearingen yep. Now if only the holsters were. Finding an OWB has been awful, even worse finding one that takes a light.
@@willshaneswearingen yes, i have bought spare original apx mags and they work in the apx a1
@@DeplorableBitterClinger i ordered a custom kydex one from the armzmen for the apx a1 full size. i havent received it yet.
When was the A1 released I haven't seen them anywhere?
Just this past week stores were getting shipments of them
is the trigger reach shorter or longer than a glock?
The reach feels shorter IMO. I just tested them back to back
@@Steadfast_Collective thank you 🙏
Good Looking Gun. How is the performance of the gun for self defense
Does anyone have any holster options for this new gun?
I believe the Beretta website had some
Beretta 🔝🏆🥇
any idea when this is coming to Canada? Im so excited for this.
I honestly have no idea. I can ask some of the guys I know that work for Beretta and get back to you
@@Steadfast_Collective that would be great. pls & thank you. 👍🏼
I didn't know you could get handguns in Canada
how is the recoil on this apx?
Not bad at all. Feels pretty comparable if not better than many other polymer framed guns
I don’t like these, I love the classics with an open slaid
I really liked the classic too. But so many seemed to dislike the way they looked for some reason
What caliber APC a1
And
This is 9mm
Very nice
So how it holding up so far
So far no issues!
@@Steadfast_Collective cool
When will I be able to purchase the Combat version?
Hopefully soon
U think I can conceal carry this gun?
A Glock 17 would be more comparable in size
Yeah, barrel is a little shorter than a 17. The back portion of the slide extends further back, which makes it look as long
Apx & A1 mags are the same
Yup! Did not know this initially. Thank you!
wheres the review?
Someone count how many times he says ahhhh😭😭😭
You should 🤷🏻♂️😂
"Crisp" wall,....huh
why do you let go of the trigger when you're testing for trigger reset. that's the only thing anyone should care about is the trigger on this thing because it was horrible on the original. shoot to reset you don't let go of the trigger.
I understand shooting to reset as I do compete at a high level..if you turn up the volume you can hear the reset point. I was simply trying to show how much pre travel to the wall there was again. I am also by no means a “professional” reviewer and am still figuring it out. Thanks for the input 🙏
@@Steadfast_Collective I want to see a 3mm reset. I will buy one today! Sucks having to watch like an hour of different reviews to finally get to one where you can actually see it. LOL
Your split times will improve if you stop shooting to reset and only engage the trigger once per round.
Why are you shooting to reset????
@@willshaneswearingen accuracy & speed
Biggest mistake on this pistol it will need to be sent to a gunsmith if you want a lazer site.
That makes the price point not so good, when you can by a Canik that is setup from the manfacture with a better trigger for less than it would cost to have have this pistol
set up for lazer sites.
Why would you need to send it to a gunsmith exactly?
Got mine for 500 with a fast fire red dot already mounted.
Lewis Anna Miller George Hernandez Daniel
I got it for 420 out the door
thats an awesome deal!
Lame
Wow, a mess.
How so?
Pain full review
Unfortunately I hear these pistols are having a ton of finishing issues!
Really? In what way? I have not hear about this
