Beretta APX grip module for 92 mags...

[TED]

Many people do not realize that the Beretta APX has a non-serialized grip frame that is readily replaceable like the P320.

I would LOVE to see an PAX grip module using 92 mags.

Then I could have a modern polymer framed striker fired beretta that would use all those 92 mags that I have and that are among the most common and popular pistol mags out there.

APX mags are only $15-$25, so they are relitively cheap. I agree about the APX though. I own over 30 (lost count) handguns, and the APX is my favorite and what I carry. Carry it over my Glocks, M&P 2.0 Compact, HK P30sk, etc. It's better built and more reliable than the problematic P320.

What makes your APX better than your M&P 2.0C?

I can not answer for Styx, but for me, it was better trigger and not as aggressive texture. I love my APX. and i am in the same boat as styx, well over 20 hanguns off all types. The APX just works works with me naturally.

I love the M&P texture because 10m with a sheet of sandpaper and you can customize the texture to what you want where you want.

What makes your APX better than your M&P 2.0C?

Complete breakdown for cleaning and/or parts replacement is much, much simpler. You don't have to remove the rear sight to strip the slide like you do with the M&P 2.0. Being that the APX is a chassis system, I can pull the guts out of the APX frame and only have two pins, a takedowm lever, and the chassis to reinstall. With the M&P, it's a headache. 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.

I had a Centurion APX, but sold it last year after I got a 5th Gen Glock 19. The 5th Gens got me back into Glock. And, the G19 5th gen felt better to me.

Once I got the stock sights swapped out to Ameriglo sights on the APX< I did like it more. But, I have small hands - and to stop shooting it to the left, I had to switch to the largest backstrap. That solved the problem, and the gun was accurate for me. But, it just didn't feel as good in the hands.

After the $100 rebate I got on it, the gun was like $269. I just wasn't feeling it.

I suspect that if Beretta could have made 92 mags work in the APX, they would have. Engineering a chassis system for at least three frame sizes and therefore mag bodies probably requires enough work already without then being slaved to mag release placement and other dimensional things.

Unless of course they are making more profit off other newer mags due to pre-existing supply of 92 mags.

Not everyone (dare I say most) who buys or is interested in the APX owns or is interested in a DA/SA metal framed pistol with a frame mounted safety. Not everyone who owns a 92 series has a bunch of mags.

The Sig P320 series, all HK pistols models, CZ P10 vs P07 vs the 75 series, different Walthers models, so on and so forth also do not have mags that interchange with every other gun they made old and new. M&P handguns also do not work with their older metal framed pistols or their SD VE. Springfield XD and XDM mags do not interchange. Glock does not have this issue ONLY because they only basically make one gun with different grip and barrel lengths and pretend it's a whole different model..

I think this is because different models and designs call for differences in grip angle and geometry as well as differences in where mag releases are positioned. Then you also have to think of how the magwell of the APX differs with the 92 series pistols. The APX mags have an area at the bottom that is designed to be able to grab onto and rip the mag out durring a malfunction.

APX mags are of the same quality as others; however, they are much cheaper than other mags. All of the APX mags have a simular MSRP despite being different capacities. The 10, 13, 15, 17, and 21 rounders all cost about the same. The great thing about the APX is that BerettaUSA routinely puts them on sale or offers a 20% - 50% off discount code. That means their mags sell for under $15 -$25 each with free shipping depending on the sale. The cheapest I seen APX mags for was $10 each before Covid.
