Beretta APXįiring block safety, trigger lever, striker deactivation button In firing for accuracy, groups of three inches at 20 yards were average… some were smaller. All of these loads were reliable and accurate in the Beretta. This load penetrates to an optimum depth and expansion is excellent.

The Syntech loading is now available in a 124-grain loading. This load provides excellent penetration and offers outstanding accuracy.įederal Cartridge Company developed a high tech, lead-free loading for general practice and training that I use often. The single most accurate load tested was the Fiocchi 147-grain JHP. I also fired the Fiocchi 115- and 124-grain Extrema hollow point loads with good results. Any concerned with 9mm recoil should look hard at this one.
The bullet penetrates deep and expansion is modest. At just over 1,000 fps with a 124-grain JHP, the load is controllable. James doesn’t put his name on any junk and these are excellent loads. Combat accuracy is excellent.Īmong the most accurate loadings I have fired is the Ammo Inc. It is stiff to rack because the recoil spring must harness the recoil of the 9mm +P or +P+ cartridges.
Again, this is a service-grade pistol, and it is more about long-term service and reliability than convenience. The first couple of times, it was difficult to press the take down lever. A takedown lever is pressed in from right to left and rotated to allow the slide to run off of the frame. If desired, you may depress the decocking button as the slide is ran forward. Remove the magazine and be certain the chamber isn’t loaded as you lock the slide to the rear.

The pistol is supplied with two 13-round magazines, two extra grip inserts, hard plastic box, key lock, and owner’s manual. Function, reliability, and handling were the prime considerations, with reliability more important than anything else. I have fired the Beretta APX compact extensively and find that it has merit, and the design features are such that some will prefer the handgun to the Glock, SW, and HK offerings.

The Beretta APX is Beretta’s entry into the polymer-frame striker-fired field, and they added a modular design for good measure.
