Beretta APX - 1st Hundred

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

If you catch me saying "ADX" a couple of times, it's just because I'm an idiot. Pay no attention... Too many alphabet soup models passing through the workbench lately!

[@neverobey1477]

Justin Opinion naawe man you not an IDIOT come on buddy ur vids are awesome.. hey do you have a s&w 5906?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks, and nope. 639 though...

[@Saddlegait45]

Justin Opinion what are you finding your point of aim to be for your APX? I've had mine for about a month and it shoots low at 7 yards. I have to aim at 12 o'clock. I saw on Hickok45 and another KZbinr out of CALIFORNIA make note of the APX printing low for them too, so I'm wondering if this is inherited to all APXs? I've had handguns that shoot point of aim and at 6 o'clock but not 12 o'clock before.

[@Lilnasty-jo3dc]

Justin Opinion your not an idiot! We all make mistakes pal!! Great video as always!!

[@Shadowdancer777]

Lol

[@ericthomas1724]

Guys complaining about the take down! have little girl fingers.

[@rotadyma]

Really surprised at all the negative videos I've seen on this gun so far. Ever since I first shot my APX, I have been in love with mine. It's a badass. And once you figure out the point of aim and the trigger, it is accurate as hell. It's a shooter and very soft shooting too. I can't wait to get one of these in 45acp. Thanks for another great video JO.

[@Saddlegait45]

rotadyma what are you finding the point of aim to be on your APX?

[@randomj8984]

Saddlegait45 I find mine prints a little low. I really like the pistol but I don't think it can be a tack driver with those sights. They were designed with easy aquisition in mind, so they cover a lot of the target.

[@Saddlegait45]

Random J Yes, my APX also prints low as well. Hickok mentioned in his review of the APX that it was printing low.

[@rotadyma]

My sights are dead on but I also shoot 124 grain. When I shoot 115 grain, my APX prints low.

[@randomj8984]

rotadyma Thanks for that info. I'll pick up a box of 124gr and see if it makes the same difference on mine

[@schmidtyization]

I bought one after i traded in an older beat up glock. Was a complete impulse buy and I was shocked. I am strangely liking it

[@moneymig]

Strange? Wtf .. nothing strange about this nice gun 🙄

[@JacksonWalter735]

If you still have your APX I highly recommend buying the Competition Firing Pin Spring Assembly from Beretta's website. It's under $15, easy to install yourself without paying a gunsmith, and makes the trigger so much better. My trigger is a little under half a pound lighter and I feel like it's a much smoother as well (although that could also be because my family and I have shot the daylights out of it after the uograde).

[@moneymig]

Yo I just bought my APX about 4 days ago or so... I love it 17 shooter very nice handle very nice look and really good accessories and style... it was 368$ brand new...

[@bbgamegodpnw]

Same got called to pick it up the same day we went shooting. Shot about 200 rounds, I fucking love it. Simple, effective, made from great material and by a good company

[@decyfer5302]

APX Barretta is one of the best handguns I have shot in my lifetime. Really like mine.

[@Murphy82nd]

I picked mine up locally for $450 after trying a friend's at the range and loving the grip and how flat shooting it was. It surprised the heck out of me with how much I like it.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Hi Justin! I just picked up the APX 9mm after dozen or so Subscribers said I had to give one a try. I will try to post a review in September when I can find time to fit it in. Lots of shooting going on at your range. You still did Great, I have a harder time concentrating, not you.... the hits were very good! Our viewers do not always realize it is not easy going from pistol to pistol from VR to VR and make it look good. We both love the challenge I think. Have a wonderful weekend! Beretta Sr.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks, sir. I've a feeling you'll like the APX. I like it much more than I thought I would. Oddly, the shooting doesn't distract me too much while I'm shooting too (except for the occasional guy doing AR mag dumps, or a police department doing exercises) but it can be distracting when I'm talking. I try to just ignore and push through - i's part of the ambiance. :) Looking forward to your review of the APX.

[@sgtace]

so after 3 years, how is your berreta? :)

[@wesjackson71]

Three years later and they don’t come with the warranty in the plastic sheath. It’s just a fold up and comes in about 10 languages. But it just has the website to register. I bought in .40 S&W. 15 round mags. Kind of a pain in the ass to take down. But I love it just the same. I paid 350 bucks for it. Great pistol

[@psa1c]

Great review! I picked one up in 40 (because 40 is still the best) and LOVE it. Smoothest shooting striker fired gun I've shot. Super soft and flat shooting even in 40. My only complaint is its a little porky but the more I handle it the more it grows on me.

[@berettaxd7566]

That's one beautiful looking gun. 😍

[@travis2511]

You make the take down look a lot easier than others I've seen... makes you wonder if it's just something to cry about. Either way good review!

[@EricKPoorManPrepper]

Yes,.. its really not hard,.. you dont have to even push that stupid striker releas button...its just an option. You can push in on the button to turn lever ,..turn and hold lever down and pull trigger...Off slide comes

[@nrbrown5985]

It’s stupid that anyone would make it into a “problem”. It takes down like any Beretta or Sig I’ve had. No big deal.

[@boss94ways51]

Really what average civilians complain about the take down of a pistol....its military made....

[@moonrunner8791]

px4 was their first polymer duty gun.

[@retiredatforty]

Moonrunner87 And a great one, although a DA/SA. I suppose this is Beretta’s first polymer striker-fired gun.

[@redeye8526]

Just another tilting barrel striker fire . Wish they just made a PX4 version 2 instead. DA/SA and the rotating barrel is amazing . Recoils like an all steel frame gun . PX4 is berettas best gun hands down better than the 92 as well

[@JosephCoates]

So the take down is basically the same as it is on the Beretta 92? Or my Sig P229? I guess if it doesn't take down like a Glock, people can't do it.

[@jeffengland2791]

It's not like a sig in the fact that you have to push in on the pin to throw the lever down, which on a new gun I guess isn't the easiest.

[@nathanielrasey]

ask a glock boy to disassemble a 1911.

[@grantorino2009]

What does Glock takedown have to do with anything??? I know. Nothing. Neither this video nor APX's mode of takedown have anything to do with Glock.

[@flashfire201robloxlegosand8]

It's their first full-size polymer striker-fired pistol. The PX4 storm was their first polymer pistol and released in 2004. Great video, though, Justin! Keep up the great work!!!

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks for keeping me honest. You're correct!

[@Liberty4Ever]

Thanks for the great review of the Beretta APX. I particularly liked the extreme close up fly by shots at the end. It really gives a good view of the details.

[@magicd5780]

Love the apx very accurate flat shooter nice trigger

[@JJ.ermenegildofregna]

I finally got it,and put my first 1200 rds thru it. At first it seems to shoot low but once you get used to the trigger it doesn't and it's very accurate ( I was coming from 3 months in a row of shooting my 1911 in 45 acp) at least for me. After the first 400 rds I didn't clean it, just the barrel and I shot another 400 rds, not a single mulfunction ( I cleaned it after that). The grip is one of the best I ever handled along with 1911s. That huge front sight is a blessing for a 60 years old wearing multifocals. It's heavier than a Glock and that's a plus for me. Very little recoil, probably because it fits perfectly in my hand. The hold open is a bit on the heavy side, apart for that I'm very satisfied. So far so good. Just one thing: DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO TAKE IT DOWN. You get frustrated, just watch one of the many viz on here, it's a piece of cake.

[@dennertuber4982]

Most comprehensive review i've seen yet. Thank's.

[@richardoliver1468]

Justin Opinion...... Thanks for another one of your interesting fun packed videos. I have ordered the APX Centurion version. I looked at the S&W SD40VE and the M&P Shield 40, both which were used. I was very close, after watching many video reviews, to getting the M&P. Luckily I watched yours and Sootch00 reviews on the Beretta APX. Based on modularity and price point, hands down I ordered the Beretta. It has a lot more features for a great price point. And by the way Baretta beat out the Springfield XD 40 for me. I can't wait to pick the Baretta up.

[@josephharrison3639]

Good video you ran this beretta through it’s paces. I’am a lover of about anything Beretta makes. The APX looks and shoots really good. Thanks for a good show this Beretta.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

I like it much more than I expected to. I think we'll see it again.

[@dontneedtoknow5836]

2 years later and Beretta made me want to try a striker fire pistol. But Beretta.

[@donaldweber7636]

There are these things called owners manuals.

[@andrewcampagnuolo2732]

Took mine to the range today. Performed flawlessly. Felt great and shot perfectly. I like it . Shot about 200 rounds. Looking forward to getting out again

[@gregieboy]

You lost me at A”D”X! Later!

[@mag318]

Another great review on what has become one of my favorite pistols.I also like your taste in cars so keep up the good work. A compact version will surely follow.

[@77zzz777]

mag318 m

[@omax1023]

Baller mag drops! lol

[@malakisands8180]

I just picked mine up 2 days ago. $330 out the door. The store I picked it up at 100 rounds Fmj 124 grain for $26. When you register the gun through Beretta brings the warranty to 3 years. 200 rounds and this is the flattest shooter. Even beats out two of my HK guns. Made in Italy. I am ordering the bigger box magazine from Beretta

[@johnmay3655]

I attempted to buy one via the Bass Pro Shops website - no luck. Apparently they are sold out of a number of 9mm handguns including Beretta.

[@richardoliver1468]

Justin Opinion.... Being an Outstanding Italian Company, Beretta wants to stand out with all their documentation to go out with their AWESOME Firearms.

[@davidno1minton997]

Dam,badass,apx,1

[@michaelfletcher1735]

one thing to keep in mind about the sights, the gun was designed for military and police use, mostly up close and personal to a few meters.

[@jamesbreen7394]

There's a beretta rep that said they ship the gun in a bunch of packing grease and to pull the chassis out and clean it. It'll clean up and lighten the trigger pull according to him.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Interesting. Something to try before I do the next video with it. Thanks!

[@jamesbreen7394]

Justin Opinion no thank you, love your channel man.

[@scott6154]

Dry firing it at the store I found that the trigger pinched my trigger finger just a bit. Not sure what my finger would feel like after 100 rounds. Nice video!

[@seth3000gt]

Finally! Another soul that noticed this issue. I actually couldn't get through more than 30 rounds before it was about to break skin. I sanded down the bottom edge of the striker safety blade to make it a hair shorter and sanded where the trigger goes into the frame a bit at the bottoms edge as it's pulled all the way back. I'm hoping it will be better. It feels a bit better when dry firing. I can't believe Beretta actually let this trigger/frame design pass any testing.

[@jessehorner451]

Hey justin, I bought an APX recently and my slide release is extremely hard to push down without pulling back a bit on the slide. Do you think this could be a defect or will correct itself over time with shooting?

[@slapoutindixie7537]

@jesse Horner ... I just got a apx mine is very hard to push too... maybe it will loosen up after it gets some rounds thru it .., love the gun shoots sweet.

[@adamkaminski]

Try it with ammo in the magazine. Without the mag (with ammo) it should be more difficult.

[@petersuarez651]

Great thorough review. I’m looking for my first hand gun and So far I like the Glock 17 and this Apx. Ill go look for your Glock review now. Thanks again for the great review!

[@dontneedtoknow5836]

If you haven't decided a month later, the beretta has a APX combat. 4.9" threaded barrel, red dot ready, and supposedly an excellent magazine ejection. I'm told it is not for conceal, but the length is probably good for new shooters. Longer sights means easier to shoot, as long as you practice trigger discipline.

[@gonerydin4225]

Nice looking gun. I'm a bit surprised not made in U.S.

[@jozy5154]

nice gun! I held one today. I actually thought the trigger was crisp

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Agree

[@jozy5154]

One of these days I'll have to send you that Ruger Redhawk 8 shot. I live in Delaware county. 15 minutes from Chester. I'm sure you know where that is. Maybe we can meet up

[@jozy5154]

do you think they will make a .45acp?

[@OGSontar]

Just bought my - the Compact version with 13 round magazines - and I really love it. Runs as smooth as silk, but it goes through ammo like it was free. Seems like I just fill a magazine and then it's empty. Oh well, time to load another mag, I guess.

[@ggcuervo]

Great review, I noticed when you were dry firing it that there was a pin popping up in front of the rear sight each time you pulled the trigger. What's up with that? What is the reason for that? Is that another type of safety?

[@martronattebery9675]

ggcuervo it’s called a plunger safety. It’s on all the Beretta pistols. It blocks the firing pin until the trigger is pulled to prevent any drop fires from happening

[@soylentgreen7074]

All the complaining about this gun by other youtubers is because they just went into without reading the manual. It looks like it takes down like other guns but it's different. I'll agree sig has a better chassis system but this is a good gun. The gray frame looks sweet. Full size 9mms aren't for me though because of magazine limits in my state. I shoot 40s and 45s much more 45 is definitely my favorite.

[@RalphWilson-m9k]

Has anybody noticed that the gun case and the slide cuts are the same. Love this thing 😊😊😊

[@KC_Smooth]

Awesome review as always with a lovely pistol! It doesn't click with me personally, but I can see why people are excited about it. Anyways I hope you get your hands on the new FN 509! I think you would enjoy the new changes!

[@889976889]

I really don’t understand the hate of this gun it’s a budget gun it’s not a sig or a Glock. For the money it a good gun. Trigger isn’t nearly as bad as people say it is. Only downside is the aftermarket support but if your into stock guns like me than it’s not a big deal.

[@sixgunnernick]

Another great video, thank you. Seems like a good shooter but will wait for a carry version.

[@Pavia1525]

Did you notice the Italians put the German portion of the owners manual last? Bad blood even after all these years.

[@JJ.ermenegildofregna]

I've just noticed now that Justin already showed how to break it down :-)

[@MDpolo]

Beretta APX or CZ P07? I own the APX but thinking of trading it for the P07. Thoughts? Thank you.

[@Locke99GS]

First full size polymer duty gun? What about the PX4?

[@airgunplanet]

With Beretta handguns I have found to need to cover your targeted spot with the front sight dot. They are not designed for the 6 o' clock hold.

[@warmachine_1396]

airgunplanet Very true. I can't stand it as I prefer a 6 o'clock hold.

[@eddiet204]

Yep-I found the same. I’m holding at the top of the head to make 25 yard head shots.

[@williamlanphar630]

I just ordered a Centurian will be here in a couple days. Can't wait.

[@terrygraham1877]

Mine has no issue....and I passed 700 rounds. The APX is great!

[@michaelstjohn6086]

Ok, I can't keep from wanting to ask a question. I mean I am a P320 lover!

[@edog1636]

Just picked up the sub compact, very well balanced, I was surprised, perfect for concealed carry.

[@johnleon2594]

I wondered about that Went with fullsize, STRAIGHT SHOOTER😎😎

[@lincolncalvin5876]

Just put 200 rounds in mine with no malfunction at all.

[@borkwoof696]

It's not the first full size polymer Beretta

[@JJ.ermenegildofregna]

I think the PX4 is

[@brentfoto]

You probably passed on the extra 2 years of free warranty coverage by not reading that warranty enclosure for your 'ADX. Hhhhmmmm......

[@jmartin67]

Making all these videos, I'm sure the nit picking over the tiny errors must drive you insane haha. Love your vids and I love double single action hammer fired guns and had zero urge for a new striker fired handgun until I saw this vid a few weeks ago.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Sometimes it does, but I also know I have a responsibility to give accurate information. So, I take it seriously and consider it an area to improve. I will never intentionally give incorrect info, so I appreciate that most folks forgive the small errors.

[@fumasterchu12]

As I've come to expect and look forward to-another great video. I appreciate the time and effort you put forth in all of your videos, just thought I'd add that in brother. I was so excited about this pistol, I love Beretta firearms. I had been seeing some not-so-good reviews of this pistol and was a little concerned. Not enough to keep me away but enough to cause concern. It appears you got a good one, seems to function well and I think it looks great! Looking forward to another review/comparison of this puppy. Have a great weekend brother!

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks, man! You too.

[@markmakowski8604]

Do you remember how the accuracy was on it ?

[@airgunplanet]

i LIKE THE GUN BUT BERETTA'S WARRANTY ANNOYS ME...... Warranty Information for Firearms Distributed by Beretta USA Corp. Beretta firearms carry a One-Year Limited Warranty to the original purchaser for defects in materials or workmanship. If the original purchaser registers their firearm with Beretta, they automatically receive an additional two years of warranty coverage for a total of three years. 3 YEARS? WTF? THESE DAYS WALTHER OFFERS A LIFETIME WARRANTY !! ANY WHY USE A TINY SPOT THAT YOU NEED A PIN TO DE-COCK? MY WALTHER P99AS HAS A NICE FLUSH BUTTON YOU OPERATE WITH THE THUMB. I HAVE YET TO FIND A BETTER OVERALL DESIGNED HANDGUN THAN THE WALTHER P99AS !!

[@MrMel0486]

Beretta “APX” not ADX LOL BUD 💪🏼😎💯Great video tho

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

My bad

[@RobertOrtiz1015]

Nice video ! One thing though! That its Not the first full size polymer gun from beretta...

[@EricKPoorManPrepper]

Ive waited 3 years for this to get import approved. Now I just have to get the money saved ...lol Reason I am so stoked on this gun is because the super low bore axis and the slide design is a new concept (texturally) and the reset on the trigger is amazing,..and these modular triggers are super sweet ! PS you dont have to push the button,..just check gun is clear , Turn the lever and while holding the lever down,... pull the trigger,..off it comes. Watch MACs vid if you dont get it...its a good vid on this issue

[@resolute7627]

its better if you push the SLIDE back a tad and hold it back like .25" or so BEFORE you attempt to turn the take down pin , That takes pressure off it. otherwise it is very hard to turn.

[@danielm.6894]

After watching Die Hard and Lethal Weapon in the 80s I bought a 92 as my first pistol. It was very sexy. The APX looks like a clunky pig..lol. Barrett a makes accurate and high quality firearms though...

[@chad1355]

I just took down my beretta apx centurion and timed it and it only took 13 sec to unassemble and reassemble and you dont have to even touch that pin.

[@chad1355]

thats with removing barrel and firing spring and reinstalling

[@sartainja]

Superb review of an excellent firearm. Thank you your honest work.

[@ruststar]

No gloves, 😳😳😳 I love it

[@stevenking3401]

You called it the ADX several times during the unboxing segment... instead of the APX & I was surprised you didn't go back & correct those mistakes. I have 3 of the APX models... The Compact, Centurion, & the Full Size... They are all great guns & my new favorites. Just hope they get popular so we get more companies making accessories for them. I've also added several different color options to have fun changing out the look.

[@omax1023]

something about the take down doesn't add up??? it is a Nice looking pistol..... shoots well!

[@neverobey1477]

i want the compact version of this pistol... I've tested it at the range and i liked the way it shoots and feels.. great great pistol for home defense.. the compact version is the 1 for EDC in my opinion...

[@pcpolice7937]

On sale at BassPro and Cabelas for $399 Until April 1 Fantastic Deal!

[@mahfuzul2015]

I like your camera angle

[@horserider422]

Just bought mine great shooter

[@troy9er]

Looks like a nice gun. I wonder if they will make a compact version. The slide looks like a monster mudder tire tread. Great for racking from the front or rear of the slide. I will be interesting to see how the trigger pull ends up after a few hundred rounds through it. Be sure to let us know. Thanks for the look at this new gun!!

[@c-fedtech3479]

Nice video! Between this and the Walther PPQ. Which would you choose?

[@dewycatt2112]

Didn't think much of this gun until after watching videos. Now I'm really liking and want one! Them serrations are different, look cool, and make for a tough looking pistol! Real beefy and muscular looking! I never-ever thought I'd have an interest in anything Beretta until now. Probably even way cooler once you hold one in yer hands! Awesome! gotta get one quick! Great reviews Justin! Your my favorite on you tube! I like sootch and hickock too"

[@henryschmidt636]

My God I just noticed.....you have gigantic Hickok45 thumbs!

[@nodarzaldastanishvili8910]

SUPER... BERETA APX. ❤❤❤

[@Roadrider19119]

One of my next guns. It will be my first Beretta . That take down pin, should get easier with time. I will take over my Lc9s take down pin.

[@franknapolitano9144]

The take down is very simular to the Beretta M9s or 92s. Why is this so difficult for some folks ?? What I would like to know....Is the Trigger on the APX better over the Canik TP9 ? Please ? :>)

[@rElliot09]

Good initial review JO. I have many handguns and now trying to consolidate to Glock, Sig, HK with a few others thrown in the mix. I like the feel and trigger of the APX; agree with you and others, I don't like the take down, takes a few times to get it down. I was able to hold and dry fire the 509 and CZ P-10C as well and have to say the P10C was my favorite so it is going in my collection. This review might push me to put this on the list as well.

[@iena71]

Nice review as usual! Maybe this thing shoots well and hasn't the take down issues that some people have reported .... but for my taste it is a real ugly looking gun. Just my opinion, but these plastic tractor tyre style has to much influence from a Lamborghini Tractor.

[@andreamartella4367]

You guys must have a very weak thumb. I field strip my apx centurion in 5 seconds

[@Akira-nw4jl]

I like your review but you may have made a mistake on the takedown. please correct me if I am wrong. for a takedown you don't have to push out the takedown lever, just swing downwards. pushing it partially out interferes with the slide as you pull out. to disassemble the pistol you have to completely push out this lever. as for the decocker, if you pull back the slide it takes pressure off the striker and easier to decock but you don't really have to do it. thanks

[@jamesdelong6401]

😎🤘🍻. Very nice

[@Coops2411coop]

Love all your vids. Big fan! But when u check the slide stop/release, please check it for the lefty shooter too. Thanks. Top 5 KZbin gunner for sure

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

I kinda like the idea of a Beretta Zoso. It sounds like a logical next step from the Nano & Pico, & only us true "Led Heads" will know the real deal.

[@77MRVIC]

love the serrations

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Yea, they are bad ass ! It is a beautiful pistol, with character ! And most of all. A Berretta ! 😁🖒🇺🇸🇮🇹

[@michaelharrity9795]

I like this

[@Rakaben]

Did you just call it "the Beretta ADX" @1:50?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Probably, I screw up the name of this one all the time for some reason.

[@kapilgurumayum9093]

Boring

[@blitzkrieg459]

I actually purchased one on an impulse buy, the one I got was a blue label edition, so it came with three mags instead of two, pretty much the only difference. It shoots great, and I shoot better groups with it then my glock 17. I just can't wait until they release more accessories for it. Been looking for some night sights, but no one in my area has them for sale yet.

[@johnrega34]

I love my APX Centurion. My top 3 guns i own and carry

[@Tonys_Podium]

I’ve not seen any videos on the optional manual safety.

[@Sierra_Tango_5]

Aesthetically it's the grenade your best friend will hit, taking one for the team, in the early hours of the morning after an intentional drunk night out in the bar - and yet the ride isn't half bad. Looks smooth in slow-motion, I think you did the APX more justice than I may have been willing to give it. Great review.

[@michaelmendillo4614]

You shrugged off a new Berretta at first ? Damn your soul Sir !!!! Lol,, 😁🖒✌

[@kenkaufman6760]

Nicely done as always. The pistol seems massive for a 9mm. Wonder if the 45 (if made) will be the same size slide?

[@DeCavalcante]

I really like the grip but I'm so bored of crappy triggers and polymer strikers

[@Hunterlewis675]

ok, now, since i watch your stuff reg. which do you prefer, this gun or the P320, the prototype of this gun?
