Full Size Beretta APX A1: It's a Keeper.

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- How about a nice video of an honest owner review of the Beretta APX A1 FS? Well, here it is! Fresh from the beauty salon, or from botox maybe, the A1 version refreshes the look of the slide and also adds the ability to mount a red dot to the top of the slide. The pop-up buttun on the slide is gone as well. I notice that the trigger is improved as well. This one is a keepr, no problems, no major complaints. I have included the usual shooting range footage as well for your enjoyment!

I’ve been a big fan of the APX since it was released. Very much looking forward to this one. Hopefully I will see one locally in the near future. Thank you for the video.
Just became the best looking polymer frame pistol i have ever seen. Definitely gonna get one.
It's a fantastic handgun from Beretta. My husband and I now own two of them 😁 We may buy another one due to the current events.
It's a classy gun, looks good in our Caballo 😊👌
@@lizzapaolia959 in your horse?
The first lookes much better, It is more unique
It's a fantastic handgun 😃. My husband and I, are going to purchase another one this week.
It's a great defense weapon, the trigger on the handgun we purchased is very smooth.
Excellent craftsmanship by Beretta.
Thanks for sharing your voice.😁
I have the apx, and there is no problem to disassemble it at all. I really love my apx. Looking forward to getting the
Walther PDP.
Haha hell I might be trading in my PDP for this APX A1.
My buddy let me shoot his apx a1 yesterday. Great shooter, good traction and fits my small hands
Great review man. I agree with the disassembly process. I know what Beretta was going for because it's similar to the 92 series, but I wish that it was as easy to push and pull the lever down as the 92 series. You do have to disengage the striker as an extra step, but the strength/pressure needed to push the lever should be lighter just like the 92
If the gun goes bang everytime you pull the trigger and shoots good.i bought this gun and love it I would trust my life with it.just practice shooting it.i won't say it's better than a Glock 17 but if it never jams.the grip is really good also.i just wish they would incorporate a flared magwell.
I love this gun also ! I have 2 of them now , planning on getting a 3rd. I just have to start training way more
Very very good video. Great job. I got one today. Kind of sharp points on the mag bottom and the front of the rail. Don’t like. Very nice grip. Firm grip. Keep up the good work. Thanks a lot friend. SC Navy vet.
I want this APX A1!
I agree about the trigger, it was kinda crunchy springy sproingy. After a clean, oil, dry fire 200 rounds, fired 400 and its getting smoother. My cz p10 trigger was still better out of the box than the APX A1 is after all that work.
I own this firearm it’s amazing I love the new look and it’s a very flat shooter kinda favors the Walther Pdp
Would you say you prefer the APX A1 over the PDP? I'm thinking about trading in my PDP for the APX A1.
Nice review. Very good shooting.
Thank you.
I like a u-notch rear sight or a straight bar like a Sig P226, but I do not like a 3-dot setup! That's one of the easiest take down's I've ever seen, can't believe you actually complained about it!
I want one, great review buddy.
Thanks for the video H/S, as always, very informative and detailed.
SUPER.. APX A1. ❤
Pushing the takedown button is a lot easier if you pull the slide back a hair the same way you do with a Glock.
I pull it back with my left hand and manipulate the button and lever with my right hand.
Easier than a Glock in my opinion.
Same here. I very much prefer the takedown lever on my APX vs my buddy's Glock's takedown catch.
15 round version is for States with a 15 round magazine limit like Colorado. I'm hoping Beretta will make a Centurion version of this and offer it with 15 round mags.
Wish granted, the APX A1 Compact
The ONLY problem I have with this pistol is the finish. Mines and many others , have started peeling after regular use. I use this as my carry and the holster eats at the finish. Just something to be aware of.
How worn is yours now?
@@anarchyscorner not bad actually. Small chips near the muzzle. Not really noticeable until you look really close
Apx A1 or CZ P10-C
BRAVOOOOO.... APX A1 ❤
Beretta very best 🔝🥇❤️🏆
In the first apx the recoil spring was strange it had 2 springs looked messy or crooked, instead of the apx a1, one spring
I would say That I am waiting for the compact version of this firearm. But no one really makes holsters for that gun. Beretta Fell off. People make more holsters for the Taurus guns than berettas.
Eh, haha I mean it doesn't take much to beat Taurus so chances are good there will be plenty of holsters for this
@@redus2still not much options lol
I like the serrations a lot better for function, not looks! Fingerprints are for grip and the lines aren't wide for that reason...thank You, our Creator! I just wish grip texture was extended to where thumbs grip.
I purchased the APX-A1 brought it home and gave it a through cleaning. Went to take off the optic cover plate and one of the screws snapped off even after letting the plate and screw soak in Kroil for 8 days. Called Beretta and sent it back, that was 5 weeks ago! Still no pistol and no updates!
Just curious but why did you let it sit in Kroil?
@@Hialeah1925lmao
I might give this one a try. The previous one I owned had a weird bump just below the trigger in the trigger well that I rubbed against when shooting. It drove me crazy.
This one had it too when I checked it out
Good review. Thank you. The best DASA I have owned was a 92 a1. Extremely slick. If you mentioned it I missed it. What type of finish does this have? Melonite/Armornite type I assume. 2 of my children are looking at these. One is going to be an edc so the compact model. It will be absolutely every day and everywhere. I have seen the Ruger LC9 issues because they cut corners on the finish to keep cost down. We don't want that. Thank you.
Great review!
I'm waiting for the centurion.
Shot mine today, really liking it.
Not if you can't find one for sale. Checking for months and when requested info from beretta usa about availability and had only one site and that was for the $499 version.
Me encanta!!!!
7:31 There are 15-round mag restricted states, like where I'm stationed in Colorado. Kinda sucks.
I believe Beretta sells 15 round mags for the full size on their site
I want one badly.
If you are still looking for one, Bass Pro has it on sale for $399 and Beretta has a $50 rebate. Crazy good deal on this gun.
Might sound stupid but I didnt buy one of the original APX because of the slide serrations. I ended up buying a used Gen 3 Glock 19 for the same price.
Good choice
You chose poorly.
Very accurate pistol.
Very good take down demo, clear. Thanks.
The trend is to make the slide thinner. I don't know why Beretta and Walther is making thicker slides? APXA1 and the PDP Looks way thicker than the G17. And people used to call Glock a Block.
i think walthers and beretta are making some of the most attractive handguns right now
@@alfonsosaldarriaga308 have been for some time.
The thinner slides cater to conceal carry more than duty size range weapons
Maybe more weight, less recoil.
The compact barely came out…. Beretta customer service says expect at least a year before the compact frame and slide with No fire control ( if you own the A1 fs you already have it.) The A1 represent tremendous value…. I’d by the actual A1 compact gun on it’s own for the right price?
Very nice.
Blacked out rear sight are annoying. I would have to take some glow-in-the-dark paint to the rear sights to at least get a reference point.
Vt is a 15 round mag state now . 17 is out lawed .
SIG. P320 X5 LEGION ❤ BRAVOOOO..
Seems ok
Some states have 15 round mag laws
How does one honestly complain about the takedown operation of this? I feel like you’re grasping at straws. it’s basically no different than any M9/92/96. I guess sorry it’s not copy and paste Glock lol
I like this gun but I think you're giving it too much credit on the specs. For a full size pistol the APX A1 is thicker and heavier than most of the competition, and the barrel is unusually short. As a Beretta lover, I would have a hard time buying this when a 92X is only $100 more.
I am looking for a holster for the Beretta APX A1, Full size. Preferably IWB holster and if possible one that will accommodate a weapon light. Right now I have the streetlight, TLR-1 HL. Thanks in advance.
Neptune concealment is a great holster company. They made a holster for an FNX 40 with laser which was impossible to find with any other holster maker. I hope you find one that works brother!
Phlster Floodlight 2
👍👍
Thank you.
I’m in Colorado, 15 rounds is just what I need.
Do you know if they're going to make a A1 centurion?
The back of this firearm looks "Blocky". LOL.
Have a apx centurion and love it .. can you tell me if the slide will go on the regular Apx ? Will definitely buy a A1 slide if it does
I heard the new slide can't fit the old barrell, It would fit the old frame but you should buy new slide and barrell
@@emmanueleferrari8916 thanks for the information 👍🏻
@@emmanueleferrari8916 I have the original full size and the A1 full size. The barrels swap just fine.
Love mine.!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌
How ur finshing holding up on it
Great video. What do you recommend for a holster for conceal carry?
You can hear a muddy River tactical for the original APX for this to work, or a Concealment Express for the original APX ( just use a hair dryer for the Kydex)
Currently, The Armzmen holster company is making one for the A1 and it’s quality seems really good.
@@aperson4057 does the Armzmen take a light? I'm not even picky about which one, I'll get a new light if I have to I just need a holster for this thing.
@@DeplorableBitterClinger mine was not light specific. But they do an APX version with an olight. Tbh, with a light, I’d just a TLR-1 and get the Phlster floodlight which will most likely fit the APX
@@DeplorableBitterClinger also email Armzmen. They might make it for you. That’s how I got the A1 holster
👍
Crikey! Who was shooting that other target at the beginning??
Great firearm but best in class trigger is held by canik hands down.
Which is a Walther trigger btw.
Beretta too late to correction of serrations but Good pistol
Is there a threaded barrel for it?
Yes. Beretta sells it on their site
Having to buy the optics plate is a major bummer.
Had to buy optics for my 43x and for my p320 rx carry that gun is like super expensive too. Beretta is selling apx for $400-479 right now at different places and it's the same pric or as cheaper than 43x for me with the blue label discount..so it's way better deal
@@MrMarkmill True, but other manufacturers (IWI, AREX, maybe S&W) include the plates in the box. Walther & H&K give you a voucher. So when "optics ready" is a major selling point, it would be nice to have the plates included. I wish Beretta & CZ would follow suit.
@@miket8497 Beretta does give you a voucher people were complaining because they didn't get it in the box..but you do get voucher and they giving back $100 for apx a1 carry 8+1 gun right now too.
@@MrMarkmill Many thanks for the info!
@@MrMarkmill I have an A1 and did not get a voucher.
“Priced reasonably given what it is…” you ought to unpack that statement. Begs the question: what is it? It’s a plastic striker-fired gun in a league with at least twenty five others of the same ilk. Nothing here says run out and buy one, particularly since my benchmark for a gun like this is a Sig P229 Legion with a short reset trigger, a little more expensive, but not by much.
Please tell me where I can get a Sig P229 Legion that's just a little more expensive than the APX A1. Father's Day is coming up soon and I want to get my dad something nice, but the P229 Legion is at least $1300 at most places I'm looking at 😭
MarkD doesn't know what he is talking about. CLEARLY!
I see these APX A1 Full Size for sub $470. I personally would love a Sig 229 Legion for anywhere near that price. You could buy 2 of these Berettas and still come in under the price of that 229 Legion.
Hi is apx-A1 better than apx - A2 or rdo models ? What's your recommendation?
A2? 😮
Better ? Is , would the apx-A1 upper fit on the plane old apx ?
Regular apx neither is really better
First!
You win a new APX!! Congratulations!
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯🔫🔫☕️☕️🤟🏻🤟🏻
Beretta has an issue in their R&D department. Somebody is making bad decisions and the rest of the monkeys just nod their heads in unison (group think). The APX A1 my be their best....after a dismal failure with the APX 0.
would it kill these companies to offer a manual safety on their guns. I mean S+W does and they sell a lot of guns
After purchase, you get 1 free plate.
Looks like a CZ p10c
Looks like Glock 17 with a Berreta name on the slide.
