The Beretta APX FDE cal. 9mm pist ol is the current version of the Italian manufacturer's first semi-automatic pistol without an external cocking. The AO MOS MT version is characterized by an externally threaded barrel, raised sights and an undercut for a collimator.
Modern modular design
This modular shooting design was developed in connection with the MHS competition for a new pistol for the US Army. The pistol is characterized by high ergonomics and above-average foldability. The lowering of the barrel axis has reduced recoil, allowing the pistol to return to the target quickly and repeatably. The Beretta APX has a double-sided magazine latch and a magazine release that can be submitted to both sides, so it can be comfortably operated with either the left or right hand. The low-profile lock has a full-length rib for easy reloading and checking the cartridge chamber.
With the ability to replace the rear panel (3 included), the shooter can adjust the grip size to suit his hand anatomy. Finger undercuts and aggressive texturing of the grip provide a very good grip. The gun uses as many as 4 safety features: a tight firing pin drop button, firing pin lock, trigger fuse and a mechanism that disconnects the trigger rail when the lock is in the rear position.
