Customer Comments & Questions

Normally $499, on sale at Sportsman's Outdoors Superstore for $379, and after Beretta’s $100 rebate, this pistol came in at $279 with tax. That’s what you’d expect to pay for a Taurus, not a Beretta. I switched from 9mm to .40 and .45 about 20 years ago, and this was my first time going back to a 9mm. Straight out of the box, it was dead-on accurate. The grip and feel are amazing; I swapped out for the larger backstrap as the medium was a bit too small for my hands. The red-optic front sight was extremely easy to pick up, and the ability to keep the barrel on target round after round was Glock-worthy.
The only dings I have are that the springs are really tight in the slide and magazines. The slide is actually difficult to lock back at times, and I got three feed jams over the course of about 200 rounds. I attribute that to the newness, and hopefully, it should loosen up over time. If it does, I will be happy to change my rating from a 4 to a 5.
Feels great in my hands and fits perfectly. This was a really good price, especially on sale, but unfortunately, the slide release gets stuck so often and so badly that it takes some force to get it unstuck.
This APX is the most reliable 9mm I’ve tried, and I’ve shot thousands of rounds with not one Beretta APX malfunction. I see people berating them before putting the arm to the test. Shoot more, and your slide release will get a break-in.
