The BERETTA APX marks a purposeful shift in modern duty pistols, balancing rugged engineering with modular adaptability for tactical users. Built for professional end users, it brings field-proven features that matter when durability, handling, and fast maintenance are non-negotiable.

BERETTA APX is a striker-fired, full-size service pistol developed for military and law enforcement operators. It uses a removable, serialized chassis frame that allows quick swapping of grip frame housings, and each pistol ships with three interchangeable backstraps to tailor fit and control. The APX’s full-length slide serrations ensure positive slide manipulation in adverse conditions, while an ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release support left- or right-handed operation. The trigger breaks at 6 lbs and offers a very short, tactile and audible reset—features that enhance follow-up shot speed and trigger control. Shop this product

Design and Modularity

The serialized internal chassis is the APX’s standout feature: it separates the fire-control module from the grip housing so agencies or owners can reconfigure ergonomics without modifying serialized components. That modularity, combined with Beretta’s option of polymer and metallic framed platforms across hammer and striker systems, makes the APX a flexible entry in the Semi Auto category. With a street price around $439.99, it sits competitively for units and individuals seeking service-level performance.

Ergonomics and Controls

Ergonomics are addressed through the three backstraps included with every pistol, allowing shooters to optimize hand fill and purchase. The aggressive slide serrations improve leverage during press checks and emergency manipulations. Controls are service-oriented: a reversible magazine release and ambidextrous slide stop allow efficient operation by both hands without significant re-training.

Field Performance and Maintenance

Tested at professional end-user levels, the APX emphasizes durability and straightforward maintenance. Its striker-fired action paired with a crisp 6 lb trigger and short reset supports accurate rapid-fire strings. The removable chassis makes field stripping and armorers’ work faster, reducing downtime for unit armories. For hands-on inspection, View product details and pricing.
