Hardly an original design. Looks like they ripped off the slide and trigger from Glock and the frame/grip from the S&W M&P.

The unusual slide "serrations' are a visual turn-off for me, but they might actually be an improvement over the norm... I'll have to pester the local range to get one to rent.

I do like the APX modularity and the option of using or discarding a manual safety, but I have become jaded by all of the striker-fired pistols and am slowly losing interest in them.

Pretty low bar Batetta has set for itself.

I like Beretta shotguns, but prefer Sig Sauer pistols.

Steel is real:

Glocks are a dime a dozen and appeal to the ordinary, Chevrolet mass-consumer market.

I believe, theUS military chose this.

Looks like it might be comfortable - I do like the Walther PPQ, which the frame and grip strongly resemble. Price point right around five bills. Nothing spectacularly new about it, but I’d give it a try.

Glock has the Army, FBI, and I believe ATF contract for years.

I will say their slide is second to none when it comes to finish and durability.

I'll take a dozen then. And I am a Ford mass-consumer market.

Anything, and I mean anything that is striker fired...including Glock...is crap.

Just plain ‘ol crap.

I am to old fashioned, cannot get excited over these new firearms these days. Colts and Winchesters for me, old ones.

Beretta does still make a fine pistol.

MARSOC adopted the GLOCK 19. Nothing against Sig or Beretta.

All of these designs are difficult to rack the slides when your hands are sweaty.

What are your picks in a “long slide” or longer sight radius then in 9mm?

How does caliber have anything to do with “sight radius”?
