I have to agree with you. I have the APX A1 and I have a Sar9x Platinum and they both shoot better than my CZ P10c and my Glock 43x. They are both comparable to my Caniks as far as accuracy and shoot ability. I love them both and they are very underrated in my opinion. I'm not a Glock guy either. I'm a fan of getting the most for my hard earned money and although Glocks are very reliable ,which is why I carry the 43x as my edc, you have to change way too much on them to make them perform how you really want. Thats not the case with this pistol. My only issue with this gun is the optic plate screws. I have one that's stripped and that seems to be a major issue with this model so I'll have to get a gunsmith to get that screw out so I can add my red dot. Othet than that this pistol is pretty awesome especially for the price. Also the breakdown takes a little time to get used to but it's still a great gun.
Might want to reach out to Beretta and see if they will take care of that for you (I bet they would). I have seen that mentioned before as an issue. For mine, I didn't have any problems removing it.
Ive seen a few people struggle tearing down the APX. They tend to pull back on the slide before pressing in the take down button which is not necessary.
I love the APX. I have 3. But my A1 is kind of a love/hate. But it's my fault. I made the mistake of confusing some of the A0 and A1 parts. Many are compatible. But the sights are not. I put A0 sights on my A1. Ruined it. Now getting the right sights to upgrade. Mine is also finicky with a red dot. Needed a lighter guide rod spring. Still love them. I recommend an A0 over the A1 if you can get over the funky serrations.
I never messed with the A1 sights, just added a red dot (Holosun) and never looked back. I have had no issues with cycling with the optic. Surprised you has issues with the optic installed. Perhaps you are shooting low power ammo? Have you tried other brands and weights?
@@MrMravery It's just the A1. The other 2 are flawless. But I wanted co-witness sights with the red dot. I come to find that sights from the A0 to the A1 are slightly different. I'm trying a lighted guide rod spring. It should solve it.
I went with the Holosun 508T. It's the same footprint as the Trijicon and Beretta sells the plate for $25ish. I'll have a follow-up video soon showing the optic and the light I added.
There should be two large recessed 'holes' on the slide that those big circles fit into once you remove the 'blank' plate that ships installed on the pistol.

Congratulations, I think you are gonna love it!
I have the APX and APXA1 it having the Fastfire 3 Burris. Also TLR-7A STEAMLIGHT. FANTASTIC Weapons
I agree! I have a follow-up video to make where-as I've added an optic and light.
Wha red dot did you get to go on that optic cut? I can’t find anyone that sells an optic plate?

I’ve read that the Burris Fast fire 4 mounts directly to it.
I would like to get confirmation on that though.
@@selfreliance1014 I have no details on that. I'm sure 8f you sent Beretta an email, they'd respond.
I bought the plate an there are two big circles. Plate wont fit smh
