Beretta APX Centurion

[@a.dejesus792]

I don't understand why anyone would not like the slide. I think this is a great looking gun. I love it.

[@buzzsah]

Instructing since 1972 and Beretta have always been one of my favorites, the APX only reinforces that thought.

[@belayasmert9943]

Beretta's first striker fire semi auto, IMHO they crushed it. Mine never had any issues, it's a unique looking pistol made by a 500yr old company, what more can you ask for. 👍👍

[@TheFacelessMan82]

Beretta will always be relevant imo. Their m9 variants aren't going anywhere anytime soon and the APX probably around to stay as well. The more time goes on the more I like the look of the APX. THe slide is unique.

[@raypeterson9062]

One thing you cannot compare anything to is Beretta all of their stuff just works I noticed a little machining error here or there but never malfunctioning issues much better than their main competitor SIG

[@mig50cc]

Ray Peterson The Sig of old was one of the best in the business. Sig nowadays is probably no better than Taurus.

[@vipertv6010]

I got mine Beretta apx full size last year I already put around 2000 rounds no problems. I love it

[@MDpolo]

To disengage the strier using the button you have to pull back the slide just a bit and press the button while the slide is back. It clicks easily. Cheers!

[@fumasterchu12]

That looks like another winner from Beretta, I love my APX pistol. As always, a professional and great quality review brother! Have a great week my friend, and God bless.

[@Crylhound]

I like it. The slide serrations look very cool.

[@jasonanderson2403]

I like the style of the APX. The slide looks like a Toberone bar, but I want one.

[@spitfiremac]

I love love love the Compact for EDC. I usually carry a 15 round mag with extension and save the 13-rd for deep carry and formal/suit carry with a 17-rd in the truck and 21-rd at home.

[@SwaybackJack]

Quality gun and a great price. Got about 500 rounds through it and I'm very happy with my purchase.

[@SweepingHamster]

I like my full-size tactical Toblerone.

[@147CombatMedic]

The Centurion is great especially for the price. The serrations work great... unless your hands are wet/greasy. Then they are surprisingly way too slick.

[@jackmaddox4960]

It's January 2021 and I just ordered my Centurion for $349 on Sportsman's Warehouse website, gonna pick it up in-store day after tomorrow... What with things being what they are right now, that's an incredible, fantastic deal. I've owned Berettas my whole life, shot the APX quite a bit, and can't wait to get it...

[@crawdadlando4053]

Just got one today $389 pre tax. I prefer this to the gen 5. Will be potentially replacing my g5 17 with the full frame APX in the near future.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Great video. I was looking to purchase the compact version, however they are in short supply as of this writing. My husband found a good price for the Centurion version. We both watch your videos routinely. Thanks again for the information.😁👌

[@treydaypnw]

I Luv the Slide design of that Beretta! 💪

[@billmidkiff1985]

Love the music. Sounds like AC/DC

[@rodneyobrien4624]

Been looking for this gun for some time and could never find it anywhere and finally found it and got it for Father’s Day and couldn’t be happier. Definitely my new favorite

[@652barry]

Doesn’t need any aftermarket upgrades. Perfect

[@JP-gw3bk]

I just got night sights from Beretta's website. Thats all I did to mine

[@TheSkittle1976]

I really like mine, but it shoot very low for me compared to all my other pistols. I changing the back sights to an adjustable set to help with this. Other than that, it hasn't had one malfunction or issue. Great gun.

[@530eman]

Just got my Centurion and love it...! I have big mitts which is why I have the 92FS and PX4 Storm full size. The compact was too small; my little finger didn’t fit. But the Centurion was spot on. Great gun great fit...😎

[@brianknight3750]

best review i have seen for this gun. i love your music sounds like acdc.

[@weedXD38]

Glad to See You Posted!!! Hope All is good n Not Effected By Florence!!!

[@DEValentine]

For the money, there's no better pistol on the market. APX Centurion is selling for $379 at lots of online retailers. Quality at the Beretta standard and modularity to boot. Just an unbelievable bargain.

[@werewally3156]

I like it. In my opinion, enhanced function over aesthetics is the hallmark of an ideal tool.

[@johnrodriguez5277]

Think I'm gonna buy one tomorrow! Great video Sootch!!!!

[@johnrodriguez5277]

Just bought one for $379 at my local gun shop! Very pleased with it! 😃👍 thanks a bunch Sootch!

[@Venice_69]

Bought my first pistol ever today. This was the one! It just felt right & learning how it works is cool too

[@RichiesHouse]

People don’t like beretta , they love beretta

[@ricklockhart7923]

Just bought one feels great in the hand a fine piece of work.

[@garycraig4277]

I’ve been looking at it,might be my next I love my berettas they are flawless

[@superstatus2640]

I've been looking at this one for a while now. Very tempted lol

[@mikedee6173]

Another fantastic sootch00 review.

[@zero8xkira]

The slide serrations make it a ton easier to disengage the trigger by pulling back the slide slightly with your offhand and using your other hand to push in the button. You just need to pull back slightly and push pretty hard and it should work. You don't really need to disengage this way since it is centerfire but it's there if you prefer it.

[@Davoodoo69]

I own the full size APX , I love it

[@endlesswanderer7995]

This is the best video I've found on this model. Thank you for uploading.

[@olafvidar9315]

I love my APX. Everything bout it. I'm 62, haven't needed or wanted to purchase a sidearm in 30 years. My HK USP 40, my 92F, my Colt government model have been there for me. But I wanted a striker fired concealable weapon. Beretta has been making firearms for 496 years. According to wiki.

[@Mrgunsngear]

liking mine as well

[@frontlinepfknr]

@Briggs Jayson nobody gives a shit

[@madmak9]

I have this same model APX along with a more expensive Beretta 92X Centurion. They're different pistols (Striker fired vs DA/SA), and both are great, but I have to say that the APX is more fun.

[@Dawnseeker2000]

sootch00's gun reviews set the standard by which all other KZbin gun reviews are compared.

[@arcfide]

The reason you can't use the striker deactivation button is because the design prevents the button from being pressed unless the slide is retracted a small amount to the rear (maybe 1/8" to 1/4"). A common mistake demonstrated in your video when disassembling the APX is to rotate the lever before deactivating the striker by either using the button or pulling the trigger. A quick glance at the manual demonstrates that the correct procedure is first to deactivate the striker/pull the trigger and then press and rotate the takedown lever. This allows for the striker-deactivation button to be designed in such a way that prevents any serious accidental deactivation, and also helps to release pressure on the takedown lever so that it is not as hard to press.

[@TheHounddog2343]

No need to move the slide at all to the rear. Squeeze and hold the trigger. Use a punch to push in the striker deactivation button. Keep holding the trigger. Push the take down lever as far to the left as it will go from the right side using a large punch. Release the trigger. It won’t go anywhere. Move the takedown lever down toward the 6 o’clock position and the slide will move forward. Remove the slide.

[@daddiikong1602]

Just ordered one. Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the video(s) on this gun.

[@trollnips9405]

2 things I wanna see Beretta's take on someday 1: a modern revolver. 2: a bullpup rifle

[@raouliii]

The CX4 Storm is close to a bullpup with the magazine in the pistol grip.

[@SergiusLigurAugustus]

Very nice! Thank you from Italy!

[@sootch00]

Thanks Giovanni!

[@richardoliver1468]

sootch00... Thank you for your video on how to swap out the grip frames. That really helped me on decision to buy the Beretta Centurion.

[@6Sally5]

I love your channel and reviews, Sootch! Outtakes are hugely funny. Your lead in music, though is fantastic. Your band is really killing AC/DC! I’d like to get a CD if this is an example of their quality!

[@markmartin3884]

Mine will be at the gun shop Friday. Can't wait

[@ctbt1832]

Good gun. I like it. Shoots good and I have big hands. I think this gun beat the Sig.

[@slickdaddy12]

Nice pistol. Beretta stepping up their game. Just like them Tigers!!😁

[@MrPike-bw3vx]

Heck, Yeah! Go Tigers!

[@maxximus2012]

The APX line is great, they even have RDO ready models and threaded barrels. As I carry a DA/SA, its one of a select few striker fired guns that catch my attention. I’ll be getting one for my collection for sure.

[@truesf345]

Options ,its all about Options ! These are great options keeps all manufacturers on there toes .

[@sootch00]

Exactly. Free market is a beautiful thing! Thanks Brother

[@AshleyShafty]

I don't see how people could hate on this handgun, just got one and it's amazing

[@Elvis68spec]

I'll be purchasing one soon. Cool video!

[@keithventress1672]

I love this gun it’s beautiful and on point& exact, feels good works great and looks perfect 👌🏽!!! Machinery is correct and the price is well worth it could charge more, (the sweet spot!)

[@ebrak47]

Steel guide rod? I'm getting one now.

[@DrumandPianoDude]

Great video! I have the compact, and I found that I didn't need to pull the trigger to release the slide. I just pressed the takedown button, dropped the slide catch down, and the slide came right off easily.

[@crawdadlando4053]

Bought a new one after just 300 ish rounds of ammo my glock g5 is running bare steel inside. The finish and beefy internals make this pistol in competition with more expensive guns.

[@gregcampwriter]

The APX style reminds me of an Italian submarine of World War I--the Medusa class, if memory serves. The appearance is growing on me.

[@anonymouscowboy6732]

Best stock trigger in the polymer market. Cz p10c is the only one that rivals it. Very crisp break and reset with almost no travel. Worth every penny.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome Beretta Sootch00. Well Done review Sir and long live the republic.

[@leetexas3924]

Beretta is a fine weapon, Thanks for the review God Bless

[@sootch00]

Thanks Fred! Hope you're doing well my friend. God Bless

[@drmitofit2673]

Makes you wonder why this didn't replace the 92F/M9 as the US military sidearm. With the modular design, some units could go with the full size frame/capacity.

[@Sourpusscandy]

Honestly, I’ve never seen one on a popo. Price point is good! Need one to put the RDO on.

[@cesarmedina1353]

Very nice explanation. Beretta has done an excellent job

[@wasamata4u]

I saw this morning that Classic Firearms has the APX line of pistols for $350 + shipping. The only real knock I could give this pistol is that, according to the MAC elemental/gauntlet testing is that those slide serrations make it hard to grip when the pistol gets wet. Other than that, it appears to be a viable conceal carry handgun.

[@anthonyguidas2012]

I like sportsman’s guide , it’s where I get my bulk ammunition

[@tcphoto]

Good review, it only confirmed my purchase. I should receive the APX in a few days.

[@HFSswfl]

These are really great pistols! Another awesome review Sootch!

[@whoc4r3s117]

I went to my local B&M today. I was all about the modularity of the 320. But once I got it in my hands I wasn't a fan. I'm looking forward to checking out this gun in person. All these gun reviews on the internet are very helpful but we all must remember guns just like anything is entirely subjective. One man's favorite gun is another's garbage. I'm basically saying don't buy a gun just by watching reviews and specs. You might get the gun in your local gun shop to pick it up and be very disappointed in what you spent your money on.

[@scotthicks8338]

Interesting gun. Thanks for the review. 👍

[@RockawayCCW]

Always love your videos, Sootch. You and Hickok45, Nutnfancy and MAC are all awesome!

[@Eagle_600]

More I watch videos about apx, more I like

[@keensoundguy6637]

With the recent huge price drop (not sure if it's only temporary), I may finally pick one up.

[@tereztiago9133]

i ordered a centurion 359.00

[@dj147champ]

Price is lowered because the new model will come with slide cut for rmi

[@jaysnider4152]

I like the flat trigger shoe...

[@AOMartialArts]

I think the APX is gorgeous!

[@sootch00]

Me too. Thanks Rob!

[@rodendahl6633]

The APX Centurion is a great size. However, pulling the slide back is very tough compared to many of the other striker pistols, such as Glock, SIG P320, HK VP9, and CZ P10C. It does not help to have a touch of arthritis. When I unboxed mine and tried to rack the slide back, I thought something was wrong, like something was jammed in the frame. I found out it was just really hard to rack the slide back.

[@glennbarr5459]

@sootch00 I just purchased a Beretta APX Centurion, and I love it! it's go-to-war reliable

[@jeffsnider7842]

Just ordered one. I have the apx carry. Excited to soon buy apx full size.

[@nmr6988]

I like everything about the Beretta APX, especially this size, the Centurion. I even like the way they look. That slide would be so easy to grab hold of. The gun range i belong to will have these in the rental car soon, and I'm going to shoot this one and the compact as well. Great review, as always.

[@pauldascenz5356]

I like this size gun!

[@chillios2222]

Peacemaker. Close to the bore. Older guns kind of knew all about this

[@beretta92x93]

Great video,own to apx guns,a full size fde and a centurian. To use the striker decocker,pull the slide back a little bit then push the button. Its in the owners manual.

[@shanelen]

the more i see it, the more it appears a modern, futuristic look.

[@josearalat]

I must be he only gun owner that doesn't own Glocks. So any of these comparisons that reviewers always do with Glocks gets lost on me. Loving the Beretta though. It will probably be my next purchase!!! Love your channel btw.

[@smjohn4640]

Just moved from NYC to PA, and looking to purchase my first pair of firearms for my wife and I. Would love if you would compare the APX Centurion vs the CZ P-10 C, and the APX compact vs CZ P-10s. Thanks in advance.

As always another excellent review. Thank you

[@sootch00]

Thanks Chuckles! I appreciate it.

[@richardoliver1468]

sootch00...... I just watched this video and want to thank you for making it. Regarding "that sweet spot", I have to tell you that the Beretta is, to me "Extremely Sweet". So much so that after looking at videos of the M&P Shield 40 and the Springfield XD over the last few days that I am for sure going with the Beretta Centurion in 40 S&W. On top of that I am going to buy a box of that "sweet" Italian Fiocchi 40 S&W ammo. It is definitely way to go for a modular handgun. This ammo and gun is just what this Italian-AMERICAN needs.

[@Mr9mm45acp]

You make superb! Videos! I have never seen anything close to good there all superb! Be well stay safe!

[@sootch00]

Thanks Brother! I appreciate it!

[@caseyplunkett6083]

I wish that Beretta would release additional slide option. A slide with more traditional serrations and even the option to attach an RMR would be great option and something that would distinguish the Beretta APX from even the P320. I personally do not place much trust in aftermarket parts and if I could gain a similar advantage of customization from OEM, would be a huge advantage in my opinion.

[@arcfide]

They already have the RMR option out there.

[@lewiswestcott4547]

Ditto on the music! Think I'll stick with my G19 gen4!

I had to make four modifications to my G19 g4 before i finally fell in love with it. Reliable as hell, but i think it'll remain the only glock in my firearm collection.
