I should know because it was a PITA to install the full competition APEX trigger into my M&P Compact so that it could have the a trigger simular to what the APX has out the box.I can also switch between a Compact and Subcompact frame with 2 to 3 minutes.
The APX also feels much better in my hand. I can manipulate all the controls without altering my grip. The trigger gaurd is under cut and the grip is positioned further underneath the slide which allows you to control the recoil better. Instead of a little indentation on the frame, the APX's magazine floor plate flairs out with will better allow you to yank the mag out during a malfunction.
The front of the APX's slide contours inward and the barrel sticks out a little to allow for contact shots without pushing the slide out of battery. The recoil spring assembly last for 20k rounds before needing to be replaced according to Beretta.
Beretta offers different color and sizes of grip frames. You can buy a safety equipped grip frame for the fullsize APX of you so choose. Beretta offers factory 10, 13, 15, 17, and 21 round mags for the APX. Beretta also offers a factory aluminum magwell and +2 mag extention as well as extended magazine release, threaded barrel, and heavy competition recoil spring assemblies. There is also a factory competition Green Striker Spring Assembly that dropped my trigger from a consistent 6lb down to a consistent 4 to 4.5lbs.
Last but not least, I just shoot it better.
