The Beretta APX A1 Carry delivers reliable concealed carry performance in a micro-compact 9mm platform engineered for everyday carry professionals and civilians. This striker-fired pistol combines Beretta's proven reliability with modern ergonomics and enhanced trigger mechanics for consistent shot placement.
What Makes This Different
The APX A1 Carry features Beretta's refined striker system with a crisp trigger break and tactical reset, delivering improved accuracy over standard micro-compact pistols. The wolf gray polymer frame incorporates aggressive texturing and an optimized grip angle that reduces muzzle flip during rapid fire. Unlike many micro-compacts that sacrifice shootability for size, this pistol maintains a full firing grip while achieving true pocket-carry dimensions.
