    Beretta's first striker fire semi auto, IMHO they crushed it. Mine never had any issues, it's a unique looking pistol made by a 500yr old company, what more can you ask for. 👍👍

    Instructing since 1972 and Beretta have always been one of my favorites, the APX only reinforces that thought.

    @TheFacelessMan82 6 лет назад +24

    Beretta will always be relevant imo. Their m9 variants aren't going anywhere anytime soon and the APX probably around to stay as well. The more time goes on the more I like the look of the APX. THe slide is unique.

    One thing you cannot compare anything to is Beretta all of their stuff just works I noticed a little machining error here or there but never malfunctioning issues much better than their main competitor SIG

    It's January 2021 and I just ordered my Centurion for $349 on Sportsman's Warehouse website, gonna pick it up in-store day after tomorrow... What with things being what they are right now, that's an incredible, fantastic deal. I've owned Berettas my whole life, shot the APX quite a bit, and can't wait to get it...

    To disengage the strier using the button you have to pull back the slide just a bit and press the button while the slide is back. It clicks easily. Cheers!

    I have this same model APX along with a more expensive Beretta 92X Centurion. They're different pistols (Striker fired vs DA/SA), and both are great, but I have to say that the APX is more fun.

  • @zero8xkira
    @zero8xkira 3 года назад +1

    The slide serrations make it a ton easier to disengage the trigger by pulling back the slide slightly with your offhand and using your other hand to push in the button. You just need to pull back slightly and push pretty hard and it should work. You don't really need to disengage this way since it is centerfire but it's there if you prefer it.

    Best stock trigger in the polymer market. Cz p10c is the only one that rivals it. Very crisp break and reset with almost no travel. Worth every penny.

  • @whoc4r3s117
    @whoc4r3s117 6 лет назад +6

    I went to my local B&M today. I was all about the modularity of the 320. But once I got it in my hands I wasn't a fan. I'm looking forward to checking out this gun in person. All these gun reviews on the internet are very helpful but we all must remember guns just like anything is entirely subjective. One man's favorite gun is another's garbage. I'm basically saying don't buy a gun just by watching reviews and specs. You might get the gun in your local gun shop to pick it up and be very disappointed in what you spent your money on.

  • @rodendahl6633
    @rodendahl6633 5 лет назад

    The APX Centurion is a great size. However, pulling the slide back is very tough compared to many of the other striker pistols, such as Glock, SIG P320, HK VP9, and CZ P10C. It does not help to have a touch of arthritis. When I unboxed mine and tried to rack the slide back, I thought something was wrong, like something was jammed in the frame. I found out it was just really hard to rack the slide back.

  • @maxximus2012
    @maxximus2012 6 лет назад

    The APX line is great, they even have RDO ready models and threaded barrels. As I carry a DA/SA, its one of a select few striker fired guns that catch my attention. I’ll be getting one for my collection for sure.

  • @ctbt1832

    Good gun. I like it. Shoots good and I have big hands. I think this gun beat the Sig.

  • @arcfide
    @arcfide 6 лет назад +2

    The reason you can't use the striker deactivation button is because the design prevents the button from being pressed unless the slide is retracted a small amount to the rear (maybe 1/8" to 1/4"). A common mistake demonstrated in your video when disassembling the APX is to rotate the lever before deactivating the striker by either using the button or pulling the trigger. A quick glance at the manual demonstrates that the correct procedure is first to deactivate the striker/pull the trigger and then press and rotate the takedown lever. This allows for the striker-deactivation button to be designed in such a way that prevents any serious accidental deactivation, and also helps to release pressure on the takedown lever so that it is not as hard to press.

    • @TheHounddog2343
      @TheHounddog2343 2 года назад

      No need to move the slide at all to the rear. Squeeze and hold the trigger. Use a punch to push in the striker deactivation button. Keep holding the trigger. Push the take down lever as far to the left as it will go from the right side using a large punch. Release the trigger. It won’t go anywhere. Move the takedown lever down toward the 6 o’clock position and the slide will move forward. Remove the slide.

    @wasamata4u 4 года назад

    I saw this morning that Classic Firearms has the APX line of pistols for $350 + shipping. The only real knock I could give this pistol is that, according to the MAC elemental/gauntlet testing is that those slide serrations make it hard to grip when the pistol gets wet. Other than that, it appears to be a viable conceal carry handgun.

    Hi, new to your channel. A good friend, and instructor, loves Beretta and decided to buy the APX. I went to the range with him so to check it out, and, wow. With in the first 5 rounds, it blew the extractor right out of the gun using factory Win white box. Lucky for him. we have a factory repair 40 minutes away, so we drove it to them. 4 days later it was done, and to the range, 3 rounds again blew the extractor, drove right back, with the ammo and again, again blew. 3 times this happens, and the factory repair then tells Ray that the first run was having issues. This was not costing anything but time, but, he will not carry it as EDC. Any thoughts on this?

    @caseyplunkett6083 6 лет назад

    I wish that Beretta would release additional slide option. A slide with more traditional serrations and even the option to attach an RMR would be great option and something that would distinguish the Beretta APX from even the P320.
    I personally do not place much trust in aftermarket parts and if I could gain a similar advantage of customization from OEM, would be a huge advantage in my opinion.

  • @killacoiler1707
    @killacoiler1707 6 лет назад

    Hi Sootch00, I just got finished pawing through all your APX videos and noticed something that is true in all the firing segments, the APX looks to have a very weak ejection. The pattern seems very consistent but the throw of the spent shell seems extremely minimal. It doesn't appear that the pistol has any failures to extract or anything from all the youtube videos I have watched on this particular pistol but every one of them it seems like the spent rounds just kind of drop out of the weapon. Is that truly the case or is the angle of the camera kind of creating an illusion? The G2C taurus chucks them like a hail mary pass compared to how the APX appears to just sort of lazily plop them out. Was curious is all I checked the Full size out at my local shop on monday and it felt amazing in the hand, the trigger seemed a little mushy to me compared to some of the other offerings on the market, but then again not everyone can be a PPQ or Canik. I attribute some of the trigger feel to the modularity of the pistol but I could be wrong. Either way I am waiting for them to get the Centurion in so I can check it out. With all the issues Sig is having with the 320, I would much rather go with the APX at this point Beretta has always had their stuff together when they build something and that may be why it takes them longer to bring something to market they do extensive testing and redesign before entering a piece into the market it saves them the embarassment of a dysfunctional product. Great review and Thank you for the multitude of coverage on this particular line you have definitely put a great deal of in-depth and valueable content out there for this pistol.

    Holding the pistol in your shooting hand and trying to pull the slide back with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand is impossible. Two of my friends could not do it also. We had to reach across the top with palm facing down on top of the slide and pushing the slide back was the only way I could rack the slide back. But it was still very difficult.

So much so that after looking at videos of the M&P Shield 40 and the Springfield XD over the last few days that I am for sure going with the Beretta Centurion in 40 S&W. On top of that I am going to buy a box of that "sweet" Italian Fiocchi 40 S&W ammo. It is definitely way to go for a modular handgun. This ammo and gun is just what this Italian-AMERICAN needs.

    The side-by-side comparison with the G19 was revealing. Look at the amount of workmanship Beretta provides versus the plain slide Glock. The Beretta APX Line feels awesome in the hand. It’s like a therapeutic massage. I purchased the Full Size Combat and the Centurion. Didn’t purchase the compact as my pinky rested below the magazine. I will be ordering the Full Size FDE (frame & slide) this fall.
    The only complaint I have is the Combat doesn’t have suppressor height sights with the threaded barrel.

    Good review, it only confirmed my purchase. I should receive the APX in a few days.

    What exactly is the purpose of the pop up on the top of the slide?

    I ordered the 10+1 model. I'm assuming I can use a 15+1 with it? Any help is greatly appreciated!
