This was very helpful and it honestly took me about 90 seconds for the whole operation. I may have got lucky, but it was fast and smooth. Much easier than it looks here.
90 seconds is great. This whole process isn't as complicated once you know how to do it. Probably 2 minutes give or take (at least on the APX Centurion/Compact)
If you put the frame in a vise and use a hooked dental pick for that retaining spring at the rear you can just hook the pick under it and leave it hands free while you tap out the pin with the punch from the side. Whole frame change can be done in less than a minute with a pick and a punch. You can use the pick to hold the spring up while you install the chassis into the new frame as well.
I like to watch how it really comes apart, and not the videos that edit the trouble and hard parts. Ty for a honest video, that's why I watch this channel 👍
Quick Tip; use a piece of center cord from some paracord looped around the spring to lift it up. Once you slide the pin in, just drag the cord out. supper easy.
Thanks a lot, changed my frame in about 3 minutes. Super easy after watching your informative video.
Do you know if the fire control unit can fit in all sizes?
@@YoungKB sorry I don’t know that question
Thought I was watching @twangandbang change his drum brakes for a bit there😂
Aaron Burns I agree. I applauded Mr. Twang for doing the brakes himself but.... He scared me a little, I still don't think he bled the brakes?
1:14 onward, if this was the Yankee Marshall: Ah, goddamn it. Why don't you fuckin'... GAAAH!!! FUCK!!
lon242 then he'd ask for your money.
lon242 you are correct. YM just released a video tonight of him "trying" to disassemble this gun cold (he didn't want to read the instructions) lets just say it wasn't family friendly
Looks like the P320 wins in terms of easy of disassembly, but not by a large margin. It's a matter of one pin vs. two. It would be interesting to have a comparison of the actual design of the chassis in terms of the parts involved and so forth. I'm also interested in knowing how easy it would be to add manual safeties to each design as an "add on" kit.
On the other hand, I like the grip design, backstraps, slide, trigger, bore height, grip angle, texturing, and magazine design all better on the APX than on the P320. Why can't a single company just manage to make a perfect gun? :-)
Beretta makes s drop in safety kit for the grip frame
This is not a good design. It can fall apart on you. The Sig is much easier.
I ordered the Grey frame, competition striker, an the +2 base plate for the full size apx. Definitely a good way to go.
Thanks bro it took a little time but once I got it, I was able to do it lol 🤙
Doing the frame swap on camera always makes things more difficult looking than it really is. The first time I switched frames I found it very easy with no hangups, but I wasn't doing it on camera. With the Sig P320 is easier the frame switch is less complicated and therefore easier. But think about it, how many times do you do this. Shooting both pistols side by side I prefer the APX. I can't wait to get my hands on the CZ P10c later this month.
mag318 did you?
@@kateajwood4129 guess not
I did the grey frame also with the black medium back strap looks very cool.
I work on crap everyday anything you can do in less than 7 minutes ain't that bad. I did enjoy the suffering though lol.
When will your full review of the pistol be available?
Thanks again for the very useful information.
looks like the P320 is a vastly superior system. This is exactly what I needed to see to help me decide between the Sig or Beretta.
Yup - SIG all the way that's why they won the Military contract
Yup. That's why I just bought a 320RX instead of an APX.
thank you mr guns and gear
Wow definitely not as easy as the P320! I ordered a FDE frame with mine, so this video will be very helpful!
Great video, swapped with no issues butttttt my trigger bar spring came out, any help?!
Nice vid just switched over to my fde frame I like the beretta apx but the sig sauer p320 is so much easier to change over different grips I own both I currently carry a sig sauer p320 carry in fde 9mm
Great video, Mr. GnG! I bought the compact. I will be buying the Centurion frame.
oVERALL, How do you think the APX compares to other modern striker fired pistols? It has taken over as my favorite right now.
More of a PITA to change frames than the Sig P320 but doable for most users. I've really warmed up to this pistol since seeing your reviews. Buyers market out there right now and it sure is tempting. :)
Mike S just picked up an APX for $429!
Congrats!
Did you find yours to be reliable right out of the box? I have read a couple of reviews saying that they had no malfunctions at all. It is not reasonable with today's ammo costs to put almost as much in ammo to break it in than you paid for the gun.
It is incredible, it worked even with the cheapest ammo I put. No malfunction.
Vocal fry is torturous.
Thanks for the video. Do you know if you can put the fire control unit into any size frame? ie Full size, Centurion, or Compact?
You need the Ernest Langdon Crockett hook for that spring.
great video thanks!!!
Rubber bands make great third hands, or a piece of copper wire.
All i can say is at least Beretta has made it possible to change the frame to a different color. It might take a few minutes longer to do than the Sig p320, but at least it CAN be done. With a Glock, HK, CZ p10c, old school CZ 75, or Springfield XDM, you dont have that option. You better buy your favorite color to start with. If not, your stuck with black. So for all you guys complaining about the design, just keep shooting your plain ole black Glock.
I just got mine today, October/2017. Oh man, very hard to take it apart. The push-button is hard/pushing against the frame towards the other side. Then turn the takedown lever. I have not change the back-strap yet. Well see.....but looks like a complicated design from Beretta. I'll shoot it next week, my wrist and elbows were in pain taking it apart! I hope it shoots well. Or am calling Beretta and give them a lot of crap. lol
Did you get those featured APX pistols for free??
Hey Mike, which color frame do you like best of what you have?
Interesting gun indeed
thx
do you like the CZ P10 better than the Beretta APX?
Purpose of video, "Make sure you buy the right color first". Ha, thanks for your time helping idiots like me that bought FDE instead of Sniper Grey.
Once he stopped worrying about the camera he got the pin out straight away. Don't see why people are whining how 'hard' it is.
might be easier with a vice to hold gun
I found if u use a punch and push in while pulling lever down its super ez
What holster are you using for the APX with the Streamlight installed?
I suspected that it was a big deal when mac didn't show it. I said he did a disservice to both Beretta and Sig Sauer by not showing the Beretta's modular qualities and just stating that it was very similar to the P320. I mean why else wouldn't you show the prime unique feature of a new product? At least Mrgunsngear did a separate video.
Because Mac is a Shill
80sDon first think out of Mac's mouth when it shows how to change Beretta frames was
"i didn't read the instructions "
That's when i quit watching.
APX WAZAAAA!!!! Great!!!
God damn what a nightmare......p320 it is 😂
It is not that difficult to change frames. Its not like you need to do it in the middle of a fire fight.
Well obviously this was no competition for sig, at least not in regard to the swap capable chassis.
Awesome, thanks!
Are the centurion frames available?
believe so
Please send a link , found them on beretta's over sea's sight not in the US
great video
This might have been the deal breaker for the army
Leave it to beretta to complicate something that should be very simple
ruststar hahaha good one!
Thx solid video 💥😎💥
Looks easy enough....
But how does it shoot??
Looks pain in an a$$ lol I'm planing to get this in black and order earth color ... olive green looks good too
This is infinitely worse than how the P320 works
Michael Kennedy yep. P320 deserved to win the military contract based on this alone over the beretta
Michael Kennedy: totally agree lol
Right?!
which is more reliable?? never owed a p320 but do owe a berretta px4 storm and love it!!!
b williams very reliable for me never had one issue with my P320. Eats everything I feed it! Plus the frame swaps are much easier and quicker than this lil guy.
That Gray frame is sexy
Intros are such a waste of the veiws time but you don't care do you.
Informative video though. Thank you for the walk through.
Dang! And I wanted one of these! Changing frames compared to the P320 involves too many steps and is too time consuming.
another great vid! :)
What a pain in the butt compared to the p320.
Uhh ?
You need a tool box to put that damn thing together
great gun, pain to change frames!
Sig is much easier...
third almost
I have a Ruger American Pistol, wow sooo easy for everything, I thought to get a APX but after watching some youtube reviewer, I'll pass my turn... OMG! Abysmal
had to wipe the sweat of my brawl on that one lol wozzers
noooo! What the actual fuck. What a pain in the ass. They are supposed to make guns glock like, a glock is 10 times easer to take down, without any chassi system...
I guess the Army didn't want to issue their soldiers a tool box with their Beretta so they went with the P320.
I'm sure it's a quality pistol, but what a pain to breakdown. No wonder why they lost army MHS contract. That was exhausting.
👅👅👅
This video just made me a Glock man for life.
What a piss poor design!
all these plastic guns......these realistically should retail no more than $400
totally - agree plastic JUNK...
ha ha no... unless either of you have shot this gun multiple times through different conditions and environments then don't say what you guys don't know. I own this and several metal weapons including a couple of Springfield 1911s. I trust my life to this 10 times over compared to them.
@
God another ridiculous way to change the backstrap - Did they assemble a bunch of Engineers and ask them to design the most difficult pistol to disassemble cause they won that contest hands down ... I would NEVER buy this pistol and certainly not for +$500 get out of here ...
I am no Sig 320 fan, but the frame and backstrap change on the APX? WTF? That took like 5 minutes to do. Every other chassis system takes less than a minute. I dont mean to be ugly, but that is some garbage. If someone were to buy that beretta just because of the modular chassis system, thats going to be a disappointment.
Yeah. Imagine to be under fire, and you suddenly realize your gun's frame isn't matching with the environment. Five minutes is compeltely unacceptable!
Let's be serious. Changing frame and backstrap isn't something you do on a daily basis. It's something you do maybe once a year, to find the one you are most comfortable with. There is the possibility to do it? Fine. One or five minutes is of little importance.
Horrible design by Beretta
Wow - what a major PITA I can see now why they didn't win the US contract can you just see a bunch of GI's in the field trying to do that - lol... The P320 pulls right out non nonsense, as you know.
If I had to do this with my own pistol I would have to watch this video while I was doing it because it is so convoluted.
(this is easier) - stand on your right leg, touch your nose with your left hand, spin to the left, spin to the right, while smoking a cigar and repeat after me, I hate Beretta, I hate Beretta, I hate Beretta...
Zorro Z soldiers in the field change frames a lot, do they?
Sorry, just too painful to watch. I'll stick with my px4.
