Beretta APX - 1st Hundred

[@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).

[@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? :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@RalphWilson-m9k]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@dennertuber4982]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Sarge_71]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@psuave1210]

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.

[@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.

[@andrewgillis9092]

Just bought one the other day. Glad to hear good things about it.

[@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.

[@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"

[@ericthomas1724]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@berettaxd7566]

That's one beautiful looking gun. 😍

[@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.

[@magicd5780]

Love the apx very accurate flat shooter nice trigger

[@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😎😎

[@richardoliver1468]

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

[@sartainja]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@waynehowell431]

Nice review brother. I have been thinking of buying one, and you just sealed the deal.

[@johnleon2594]

Did you get one?! I did Dec '19, she a KEEPER😎😎

[@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.

[@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.

[@sixgunnernick]

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

[@williamlanphar630]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@johnrega34]

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

[@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.

[@nodarzaldastanishvili8910]

SUPER... BERETA APX. ❤❤❤

[@ptrisonic]

Nice review!. What is that little rod for that pokes up above the slide just in front of the sights when you pull the trigger????? Pete.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks. That is part of the firing pin safety block, as it is being raised to allow the striker to move forward.

[@ptrisonic]

So it may be troublesome to fit a Red Dot or similar, I’m thinking. Cheers, Pete.

[@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!!

[@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

[@justinv3080]

I'm guessing there's lot of information in the booklet about the limited warranty for duty use since it's a duty type firearm and LE warranties are usually reduced. Can you share any information about the specifics like length of warranty for civilian use?

[@pilgrimprepper4075]

My owners manual says guaranteed for one year after date of purchase. I really like this gun, I bought it just for the heck of it while waiting for the CZ P10c to make it down to GA, and ended up liking it so much I'm keeping it! My wife has very small hands and the APX is the only modern pistol that fits her perfectly when using the small insert. The APX appears to be designed with nothing but saving your life in mind.

[@justinv3080]

Pilgrim Prepper yep a quality duty gun that actually stands out ahead of the pack slightly from what I've seen, although I haven't shot one yet.

[@Locke99GS]

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

[@horserider422]

Just bought mine great shooter

[@terrygraham1877]

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

[@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.

[@JJ.ermenegildofregna]

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

[@Tonys_Podium]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@c-fedtech3479]

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

[@warmachine_1396]

@ 3:52 what about the Beretta PX4? They are carried as a duty/service sidearm in Italy. The APX may be Beretta's first striker fired offering but not Beretta's first service sized polymer offering. As far as the people crying about the disassembly.....they need to first read the owners manual and second man up and use some force. I've seen other video reviews where they can't even figure out how to field strip it....what a joke. I may be unsubscribing to some channels as I've lost faith in them. It may not be the easiest but who cares. Great review as always!

[@jeffengland2791]

The only bad thing I've found about the PX4 is the sharp decocker/safety. Someone at Beretta is a real masochist for designing that thing.

[@warmachine_1396]

Jeff England I agree with you on that! It's the PX4s one flaw. I think they make smaller levers you can install but they should come with those from the factory if so in my opinion.

[@LYLEWOLD]

the slim levers are also decocker only (G type). if you have a Px4, get those stealth levers. then you can overhand the slide and not feel like you should check for bleeding.

[@warmachine_1396]

Lyle W That' sounds like a winner. I may order some. Thanks for the info!

[@LYLEWOLD]

they were a bit of a bugger for me to install, but that was mostly down to my inexperience. mrgunsngear has a good video on swapping them, also yankee marshall, i'm sure others also. seeing it done helps a lot. good luck, you'll really like it.

[@brianknight3750]

did you try the grip with the small grip module?

[@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

[@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 ? :>)

[@kenkaufman6760]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@Lucid925]

What is the difference between the point of aim hold and the 6 oclock hold? Forgive my ignorance, buying one of these next week and want to know everything about it lol

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Nothing wrong with that question at all. "Point of Aim" really mean "center" and that's what I would be more correct to say. That means that you would hold the level sights at the very center of the target and the bullet should strike there. Six O'Clock means that you perch the bullseye on top of the front sight (like a golf ball on a tee) to get a center hit. Hope that helps, and good luck!

[@Lucid925]

Justin Opinion gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for breaking that down for me! I hope I enjoy this weapon, though I'll have it in .40. Looks awesome in this video, Keep it up!

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

happy to help!

[@Hunterlewis675]

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

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

[@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.

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

great video, good info, thanks

[@christopherwilliams5808]

I find it odd when the pin goes up on the slide when you pull the trigger. I want this in .40 but idk abt it

[@protectiverailroaddad7541]

I was watching your video and attempting to multitask so I may have missed this information if you mentioned it, but what does apx stand for?

I didn't say, because I don't know. Let's see who tells us first!

Do you remember how the accuracy was on it ?

[@henryschmidt636]

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

[@jake45790]

ok. that little plunger that pops up on top of the slide near the rear sight when you pull the trigger is so weird and is kind of bothering me. unless that little plunger increases reliability, i can only see it decreasing reliability in adverse conditions. i really wonder what its for though im sure there's a reason.

[@neutronalchemist3241]

It's part of the striker / firing pin block. It shows that the block is working, and is not stuck in the "fire" position. It was already on the M9.

[@eddiet204]

I just got my APX in .40 cal and am very satisfied with the fit/finish/performance. Mine was hitting low as well. Not much, but opposite from my duty carry, which shoots high (Trij HDs). No big-this is a cool gun and it would have been a great service gun. Out of the box and zero malfunctions. I found that you cannot slam the mag into the well where the slide goes back into battery like the Glock. It double feeds, so sling shot it or use the slide lock.

[@MrMel0486]

Good gun, shoots low (even hickok45 mentioned that) and unless you use just the tip of your finger to pull the trigger, upon full rearward movement of the trigger I found that my trigger finger is sometimes pinched due to the interior bottom of the trigger guard. I will stick to Sig p320 and Glock 19's. I sold my Beretta APX after two weeks of ownership and over 1000 rds fired. Nuff said.

Mark Lindner This is exactly what I was going to post. Just not a very good shooter. It shoots soft but too much compensation is required to shoot it well and consistent. I didn't have an issue with take down and it fit my hands extremely well. I even love the way it looks. Just couldn't shoot it. I was one of, if not the first, to get one under the LEO program in my area, so I had a bit of time with it. I can see why the P320 would have been chosen from a practical perspective.

If you pull that warranty book back out and read it, you'll find that registering the gun online will extend the warranty for an additional two years. Yes, they cover everything, including shipping. Given my experience with Beretta, you WILL be needing and using that warranty.

Good info - thanks! I never read those things!!

[@gngng5626]

Too soon, but a single stack, thin slide version would be a serious ccw option

[@titanium9926]

why is there a rod sticking up on top where you ideally would put a red dot?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Yeah, that's the firing pin safety block being pushed clear of the firing pin. Not sure why they went with that type of mechanism.

[@titanium9926]

can it be modified and/or removed to allow for a red dot ? or is it out of the question, can not be done?

[@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.

[@DeCavalcante]

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

[@antilaw9911]

looks tough! like a tank! everyone has ordinary glock or "fill in blank". Might pick this up. I want something different. Sure looks tough though. Like tread on 4x4 tires!

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

That tire tread look is exactly what my first impression was.
