To meet the needs of the MHS contract requirements, the Beretta APX is a modular design with the fire-control chassis being removable. The overall shape of the housing is like a ramp with the tapered front cut off. The rear sight has a small ledge in the front, so you can use it to rack the slide in a pinch. After shooting this pistol a bunch, I’m kinda thinking I might want to put a fiber-optic sight on the front, mainly because they’re easier to in a variety or light conditions and against different backgrounds. Unlike previous Beretta models, both front and rear sights are dovetail mounted, so if you want to install night sights or suppressor-height sights, that’s easy to do. The sights on this Beretta APX RDO Pistol model are standard white dot. The Beretta APX RDO Pistol includes four mounting plates and different length screws to fit different optics. The magazine release button is oversized and placed on the left side of the frame, but you can flip it to the opposite side for left-handed operation. The controls on the Beretta APX RDO Pistol are ambidextrous. There is no overtly rough or sharp texture to tear up hands or clothing if you carry concealed. It looks cool, but I find it functional too. These protrusions, about a finger-width apart, provide the necessary grip to operate the slide from any position – front, middle, or rear. There are seven vertical “wedges” spaced long the length of the slide. Instead, it takes an entirely different approach, presumably for both cosmetic reasons and to work equally well when the user is wearing gloves or is in adverse weather conditions. The slide doesn’t have cocking serrations on the front or the back. The trigger face is flat and fairly wide. This must be depressed to unlock movement of the trigger itself. The Beretta APX RDO Pistol trigger has a safety leaf. It’s one of the few pistols I have where I can’t tell exactly when the shot is going to break. The whole range of motion is smooth with no grit, and the break is a surprise one – there is no telltale “shelf” to let you know exactly when it’s going to go. I measured the trigger weight at exactly six pounds. The take-up is maybe 1/8th of an inch followed by another 1/8th of an inch of constant pressure before the break. It’s a striker-fired pistol, so every pull is exactly like the previous. This one is chambered in 9mm, but the company also offers a. With all that said, let’s take a closer look at the Beretta APX RDO Pistol. The Beretta APX RDO Shown here with a Burris FastFire red dot sight. Remember, there was a day when Winchester lever-action rifle users scoffed at the idea of putting scopes on rifles… “Wait, you think people are going to put stuff made of GLASS on top of their rifles?” Time will tell, but I’ll wager that optics-equipped pistols will become as common as scoped rifles before too long. Given the number of pistols coming to market ready for optics, you can bet it’s a going to be a thing. The pistol comes out of the box with a cover plate installed so you can use it without a red dot at all if you like. This one comes with a slide cutout behind the ejection port that allows insertion of one of four different plates to accommodate red dot sights from Burris, Trijicon, Leupold, and C-More and any others that share the same footprint as one of the above. One of the spinoffs of the APX line is the RDO (Red Dot Optic) model. It shares many base features with other polymer-frame striker pistols like tilt-barrel, locked-breech operation, but includes many Beretta signature and design features equally applicable to the Army contract requirements and needs of civilian users. Introduced in 2016, just in time for the trials, the APX is Beretta’s first mainstream striker-fired pistol. One of the many contenders for the AMHS award was the Beretta APX Pistol.
