I've been waiting for the official release of the APX, I'm pretty excited about it.

I like it.

Looks like HK and Glock got drunk one night, fucked, then got an abortion 3 months later... and this is what they pulled out.

Those dumbasses, I buy Berettas because I don't like striker fired guns. If I wanted a striker fired gun I'd buy a glock or HK, not a fucking beretta.

That has to be fake. Too ugly, very much not Italian.

Still, looks more functional than some of the ultra-tiny serrations some manufacturers use. We'll see.

I was just going to make a comment that at least it didn't have "SLIDE-ZONE" written all over it...

LOL ever see the ARX-160, CX4, Nano, RX4?

The APX pictures aren't fake or photoshopped. Hate to burst your bubble but that's the APX - like true Beretta form

looks like an FNX HK combo. Cant tell if I like it yet.

The aesthetics are kinda funky to me. I'd still like to try one (price will be important). I'm a Glock guy, so looks definitely aren't all that important.

I thought the PPQ was the sexiest polymer gun on the market, but quickly got rid of it after shooting the thing. Maybe the Beretta will have the opposite effect.

I like Berettas and all, but

Reminds me of:

Leave it to Beretta to put some shit on a gun for no reason.

Like hugely spaced serration all the way down the slide. Which neither gives you proper reward grip or forward grip.

I like Berettas, but that slide stop looks like it's in the danger zone.

I'd own a VP9 and a P226 if their slide stops were a little further forward.

Not to side track thread but I had the same problem with the 226 and switched out the stock slide release for the x-five version, problem solved. Topgunsupply.com has them.

Is it impossible to make a non ugly striker fired pistol? The HK is the closest I've seen. Still ugly.

Some of the Kahrs are a decent start IMO. T9 - I've entertained getting one, but availability and pricing has always played against that idea.

Not sure yet. If it takes existing 92 mags as mentioned will be a huge selling point.

Just another polymer striker fired pistol. They are basically all the same and boring. Does it really matter which one you buy?

View Quote

At this point, there's nothing left to "innovate" on. How about we try and make them look good since they're all the same function-wise.

We're not hating how the thing works, just that it's ugly as hell. But aren't all SF pistols ugly (S&W is the best looking one to me)? It's a Beretta, it's going to work, I have no doubt about that.

Striker fired - check
Polymer frame - check
Squared trigger guard - check
9 and .40 - check

Sam Colt understood this. Smith & Wesson got sued because of it.

If you want a Glock, get a Glock for crying out loud.

Even if they shared mag bodies, you'd probably have to swap out the basepads. The mags for this pistol seem to have a triangular bump that fits into the frame - doubt you could fit those into a 92.
