Thoughts on Beretta APX?

veprdude · May 22, 2024, 12:59 PM

Anyone have one? I have a bunch of 92's. $300 unissued Brazilian Police trade-ins on the market got me thinking...

Have an APX Centurion in .40.

Excellent gun, really. Reliable, solidly made, good trigger, excellent value even new. See Honest Outlaw commentary on YouTube.

Seemingly not as popular in the market as other offerings, so pricing tends to be lower than for other brands and other Beretta models.

Beretta was late to the party with the APX, and the initial models have slide “serrations” that alot of people think are ugly or weird. I like them.

Are they V2, "A1" which also currently have a $100 rebate?

If not, that sounds like a horrible deal

I shot my brother's a fair bit, before he traded it.
I liked it and wanted one.
Quite accurate and reliable.

Aim's Brazilian imports came to my attention and now I have one on the way.

I had one a few years ago and it was just OK. I'm not crazy about Beretta triggers for one thing.

Looked up the AIM ad.

Absolutely not a deal. In fact, it's down right outrageous of a price.

The APX A1 (version two of the version one AIM is selling) has a $100 rebate right now...making the new version brand new the exact same price for the now discontinued version of the Brazil surplus APX.
