The Beretta APX pistol is making its debut, and it's sure to make inroads with military and police users around the globe. Yes, it is another striker fire type of pistol that Glock spearheaded into the market.
Here’s a sneak preview at the Beretta APX pistol, a modular polymer design that is making the competition stand up and notice. The commonalities that everyone needed in a pistol were:
This striker fire operated pistol will be available in a range of popular calibers and is specifically built to reduce felt-recoil and improved sight tracking will ensure experienced shooters get accurate rounds on target quickly; especially when a high volume of fire is needed. See the Beretta APX footage here. what do you all think?, will this Beretta APX outgun Glocks?
“Anything, and I mean anything that is striker fired...including Glock...is crap.”
I’ve put literally thousands of rounds through my XD and XDS pistols with only one FTE or FTF and those were both ammo related. That’s hardly “crap” performance.
My Kimber pistols are twitchier about ammo. Not that I don’t love them.
If I knew for sure I would be attending a pistol fight I’d grab my XD. No question about it.
Best,

Excuse the awkward sentence. I added the “in 9mm” at the last minute and should have put it in parentheses.
I was asking Mariner (or others wishing to comment), if they always prefer hammer fired, what is their preference for a 9mm pistol with a 5” nominal barrel?
Oh,ok. I just had a molar extracted and thought, either I’m missing something or they took part of my brain with the tooth. No problem.
Glock has a trigger safety?
The 19 with a few minor mods can’t be beat for open carry functionality. You can have 2 or 3 for the price of the high priced spread.
Beretta 92fs
5.5in barrel adds 150fps to every round compared to 4in barrel.
And longer sight radius too.
But don’t be thinking ANY pistol is a long range, or high-powered weapon. They are only to be used as an absolute last resort.
My 92 compact in 40S&W has truly never had a failure of any kind in well over 4000 rounds. Most reliable semi-auto I have ever owned. Still going on the original recoil spring as well....
Can't say that about my Glocks, except for my G27, which is closely following the Berretta.
I'll take a dozen then. And I am a Ford mass-consumer market.
Agreed. I've had all the high end stuff, and I was shooting 4000+ rounds each summer when I was competing and training regularly. Beautiful kimber custom classic II with a lot of work on it is a safe queen as is my expensive H&K. The car analogy sucks because for the cost difference, I'd expect to see the difference between a Chevy Cobalt versus a Corvette. Instead, you spend more for a prettier gun that doesn't do the job any faster or more accurately than the glock.
Yes. I read the article when it was posted here. But it doesn’t negate the fact that MARSOC adopted the GLOCK 19.
Like they say, the hand gun gets me to my long gun.
Thanks for the advice. I will try one out when I can.
I have a 9mm M&P Shield with night sights. Accurate for a small CCW but not really a night stand gun. The snub nosed revolvers in my bed side table are not night sight weapons and I was thinking of something with some length to it as I will only carry it OWB or in the truck or nightstand.
Darn near ALL of them have ripped off the locked breech and cam/lug tilting barrel from the Browning HiPower.
I probably should add that I had been looking at a Walther PPQ 5”.
CZ 75/85. Comfortable & reliable.
My nightstand/travel gun is a Beretta model 96 Brigadier Border Marshall Special. Tritium sights.
2500 rounds so far without ANY issue and I’ve only cleaned it once. It cycles everything from 135 to 180gr but likes the 155gr for accuracy.
A rare piece and a jewel. Made me a believer. .40cal through a 5.25in barrel will get anybody’s attention.
I have been thinking of going over to Mesa since CZ Custom is right there.
Supposed to, but some folks say otherwise.
That may be worth a road trip.
