![]() From that point, you’ll feel a full ½ inch of travel under pressure before the break. As for movement, the APX Carry trigger travels 1/4 inch with minimal take-up resistance until you start to feel pressure. ![]() On the pre-production sample I’ve been testing, the trigger weighs 6 ¼ pounds consistently. Presumably as a nod to carry safety, the trigger is not only heavier, but carries longer travel for the break and reset. It’s still a striker-fired handgun like all the other APX pistols but this one is designed as a double-action trigger. The APX Carry differs from the larger members of the family in its trigger design. The frame of the APX Carry has the same cosmetic features as the larger pistols although the back strap is one size fits all and there are no replaceable inserts as there are on the full-size model. I find this design more effective than cut serrations, especially when using an over-the-slide whole-hand technique to rack. I wouldn’t call them serrations, as they are raised surfaces from the slide body. On the APX Carry, there are four ridges at the rear of the slide and four more up front. The slide on the APX Carry is a scaled-down version of the one used on the larger APX pistols with its unique triangular ridge pattern. While the proportions and mass distribution are different, the APX Carry occupies about the same footprint as a Smith & Wesson 642 snub-nose revolver. The APX Carry measures just 5.63 inches long and 4.17 inches high, which is slightly smaller than the newest Springfield Armory XD-S at 6.3 inches long and 4.7 inches high. While not in the same size category as something like a Ruger LCP, it can be carried in a jacket or cargo-style pocket. With its pocket-friendly size and 3.06-inch barrel, the APX Carry falls squarely into the subcompact category. While any model can be carried, the compact has so far been the only pistol optimized for that use. The Compact model takes 0.8 inches off the overall height by sacrificing two rounds of magazine capacity and shares the Centurion’s 3.7-inch barrel and slide. The full-size and Centurion share the same grip height, but the Centurion shortens the slide and barrel to 3.7 inches from the full-size version’s 4.25 inches. Prior to the release of the APX Carry, the company offered three size configurations: Full-size, the Centurion and the Compact. With the introduction of the Beretta APX Carry, the APX is now a true family affair. Thanks to a newly patented modular system, the pistol adapts to different hand sizes with interchangeable back-straps of different thickness and configuration for individualized performance.Beretta APX Carry has several great features users will appreciate. The sights can be removed for replacement with other types of sights. The high-definition 3-dot sight system is designed for quick target acquisition. To accommodate right or left-handed use, the APX's magazine release button can be easily reversed. When the trigger is intentionally pulled, the trigger safety is instantly deactivated.įrame safety, magazine safety, and a loaded chamber indicator are available on request. The trigger safety stops the trigger from traveling rearward through inertia, in the event the pistol is dropped. ![]() This means the pistol can be field stripped without pulling the trigger. Beretta APX pistols have a unique feature that allows the user to deactivate the internal striker mechanism prior to disassembly. The operating/locking system is based on a tilt-barrel, locked breech. A slide catch lever is located on both sides of the frame. The APX's extremely low profile and snag free design makes it easy to carry and draw from a holster.Įase of use was the key driver in the development of the APX. The lightweight frame housing is made of fiberglass-reinforced technopolymer. The Beretta APX, utilizing a removable serialized chassis frame, can be easily modified with a replaceable grip frame housing and is simply to disassemble and maintain. Striker fired pistols are becoming an important segment worldwide for the Military and Law Enforcement sector. Featuring the ultimate cross between concealment and duty size, the pistol expands on the solid base of the original APX with a more easily concealed size. APX Centurion is the new midsize offering in the APX family. ![]()
