The 360-degree texturing is right where your hands need the greatest amount of grip. The grip texture feels good without being overly abrasive. When you first examine the Beretta APX A1, the first thing you notice is how good it feels in your hand. In fact, the Beretta APX passed every stringent test of the US Army MHS program and is used by professionals on the ground in more than 20 countries. It aims for the highest levels of performance, safety and quality for any shooter in the field. (Photo/Todd Fletcher)Īccording to the company’s literature, the Beretta APX A1 takes the proven ergonomics and reliability of the APX family to the next level with integrated features derived from feedback from military, law enforcement and tactical shooters. The Beretta APX A1 and the Steiner MPS make a formidable team that should be dependable, reliable and accurate for years of service. In the mid-1980s, the Beretta 92 was selected as the United States military’s standard-issue handgun and was issued as the M9 Pistol. Remarkably, Beretta has been owned by the same family throughout its history. Founded in 1526 – that’s 497 years ago for the mathematically challenged – Beretta has been in continuous business making firearms and firearm accessories for military and law enforcement use. Beretta may have the longest history of any firearm manufacturer in the world. When I was asked if I wanted to review Beretta’s latest law enforcement duty handgun offering, I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands on Beretta’s APX A1. I must have done enough to impress the department rangemaster because he eventually sent me to firearms instructor school using that Beretta 96D. I put tens of thousands of rounds through that pistol trying to become a competent shooter. 40 S&W that looked and felt a lot like the 92. For the majority who have never heard of the Beretta 96D, it was a double-action only. Instead, it was the little-known and rarely issued Beretta 96D. I was utterly disappointed to discover it wasn’t the venerable Beretta 92. So if you like Berettas, go for it.Back when I started my career as a police officer, my first department-issued handgun was a Beretta.
BERETTA 9MM REVIEW PLUS
Plus it’s pretty mild when it comes to carbine prices at only $899 – but do no prices on this one can vary. The Beretta CX4 might be a butterface, but it’s a fantastic carbine worth your money. It shoots great and you can rely on it to eat up whatever ammo you throw at it. 1000+ rounds without a malfunction definitely gets my stamp of approval.Īll told, I don’t really have a practical use for the CX4, but who cares?
I had zero malfunctions even as I went through some of the cheapest ammunition I could find. You can expect fantastic reliability out of this thing too. It’s more like “hey, that’s heavy for 9mm.” 9mm isn’t even a heavy round either which made it a little surprising. It’s a little bit beefier than what you’d expect. I was kind of surprised by the recoil though. The short-range option is a little wider and the long-range is, you guessed it, a little bit narrower for enhanced accuracy. You can flip between two sight picture settings as well. I mean you’re not going to win any target shooting competitions with it probably, but you can expect to hit 2-inch to 2 ½-inch groups without much issue.
