The Beretta APX Carry: Mighty Mite Makes Good<\/span><\/h1>\n

Beretta is the world\u2019s oldest gun manufacturer. In the hundreds of years they\u2019ve been in business, they\u2019ve learned a thing or two about how to make a good gun. Beretta shotguns are highly prized collectors items, and the Beretta 92 was the U.S. military’s sidearm of choice for over two decades. Beretta recently rolled out a new line of striker-fired pistols, the APX series. The Beretta APX Carry is <\/span>the newest (and smallest) addition to that series<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"9mm<\/a>The pistols in the APX family all share some common design elements. Their slides have large and very noticeable cutouts on them. These cutouts make it very easy to grip the slide as you manipulate the gun. They also give the pistol a very distinctive appearance. Like the other pistols in the APX line, the APX Carry has interchangeable grip frames. The APX Carry\u2019s fire control group (the stuff inside the gun which makes it go \u201cBANG!\u201d) is packaged together in a chassis inside the pistol. This chassis is removable, and can be installed inside another frame. This allows you to <\/span>change out the frame color<\/span><\/a> and other features of your gun without having to buy another complete pistol. Interchangeable frames are a common feature on larger pistols such as the Sig Sauer P320. The Beretta APX Carry, though, is one of the first 9mm single stack compact pistols to include it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beretta APX Carry First Impressions\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve owned both a full size and a compact 9mm APX in the past. I was quite pleased to find out that the APX Carry is just like those other pistols, only smaller. A lot smaller. I could easily get a good firing grip on the shorter six round magazine. The eight round magazine felt great in my hand. The sights on the model I shot had a bright white front dot and a blacked-out rear sight. This is my preferred sight picture. You\u2019ll need a coin or a screwdriver to take the pistol apart for cleaning and maintenance. Other than that, though, everything is set up the way you\u2019d expect a modern striker-fired pistol to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
