One of the upgrades this gun receives is an improved trigger. The trigger guard is oversize for the APX A1 Carry’s small dimensions, so there’s never an issue accessing the trigger when wearing gloves.
While some manufacturers feel the need to add every gadget to each gun, the folks at Beretta understand that only a handful of buyers will want to add a light or laser to a subcompact gun-especially one that’s cut for a red-dot sight. The Apex A1 Carry also has a low bore axis that helps further mitigate muzzle rise. Beretta didn’t opt to include an accessory rail on this gun, and I understand why. That’s sensible because a pistol’s axis of movement under recoil is almost exclusively vertical. There’s mild, modern-looking texturing on the surface of the sides of the grip and more aggressive texturing on the frontstrap and backstrap. Despite its small size, the Beretta’s grip is still comfortable to shoot. There are four different polymer frame colors-flat dark earth, OD green, Wolf Grey and black-so you can swap out colors if you’d like without purchasing a new gun. The Apex A1 Carry comes with a serialized chassis that can be removed from the polymer frame. There’s also a striker deactivator (opposite side) so the gun can be disassembled without pulling the trigger. The slide stop is large enough to be useful, and the gun has a reversible oval magazine release button. Neither the Ruger nor the Springfield pistol is optics-ready, although both brands do offer 9mm carry pistols that are cut for red-dot sights. At 19.3 ounces, as weighed on a postal scale, the Beretta is heavier than the Ruger but lighter than the Springfield. It’s smaller than Ruger’s EC9s, which measures 4.5 inches and six inches overall, and Springfield’s XD Defend Your Legacy three-inch pistol, which is 4.75 inches tall and has an overall length of 6.25 inches. The slide, too, measures under an inch, and with a three-inch barrel, and an overall height of 4.2 inches without optic and a length of just 5.6 inches, the 19-ounce Beretta is one of the easiest guns on the market to conceal. This 9mm has a modular frame that at the widest point on the grip measures less than an inch. Though Beretta is an Italian brand, the APX A1 Carry is manufactured stateside at the company’s Gallatin, Tennessee, facility. For the APX to succeed it would have to come optics-ready, and Beretta understood that, so now the company is offering the APX A1 Carry: a semiauto 9mm handgun that’s cut for mounting optics. APX Evolvedīut since the APX Carry launched a few years ago, the handgun world has embraced carry guns with optics. Read Brad Fitzpatrick's review of the Beretta APX Carry 9mm here. Beretta has been making pocket pistols for decades, and its latest personal defense handgun, the APX Carry, competed well with other guns on the market and was attractively priced. The large and growing concealed-carry market has prompted all gun makers to develop lightweight, compact, polymer-frame semiauto handguns for personal defense. Today, the company is as strong as ever, but Beretta faces new challenges. And through it all, Beretta has managed to remain on the leading edge of firearm innovation for 500 years. Over the course of the company’s history, the Beretta family has seen the advent of breech-loading guns, repeaters, smokeless powder and much more. Beretta has survived for five centuries, which is a remarkable feat indeed. Most new companies are lucky to last five years.
