The Beretta APX Compact delivers reliable striker-fired performance in a reduced-size frame optimized for concealed carry and duty use. This 9mm pistol combines Beretta's proven engineering with modern ergonomics and enhanced grip texturing for consistent accuracy across varied shooting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The APX Compact features Beretta's modular serialized chassis system, allowing users to swap grip frames without transferring the firearm. The striker-fired action provides a consistent 6-pound trigger pull with a clean break and positive reset. Unlike traditional polymer frames, the APX incorporates aggressive texturing zones and interchangeable backstraps for customized fit across different hand sizes.
