Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance at typical engagement distances, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for a variety of hand sizes, aiding in control during rapid fire. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm cycling smoothly through various ammunition types under standard conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 6 pounds, which provides a predictable break for most shooters. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for experienced users but potentially sharp for novices. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat intricate, requiring attention to detail during disassembly and cleaning. Availability of replacement parts may also pose challenges, as they are not as widely stocked as some competitors. Overall, it’s a capable choice, though specific user needs should guide the final decision.

Top Quality, Great shooter
By Pocketgunner on 22 Feb 2023
This gun is built solid as you can get. Almost over built. Stainless Steel throughout the firearm. Modular take down makes for a very easy gun to work on or clean. These are extremely mild shooting Micro's. The trigger's are great for EDC. Gritty at first but break in and become very smooth and deliberate. The new Serrations are the best I have ever seen. Totally reliable. Mags look like custom 1911's. The Carry is built to last a lifetime. Very under rated firearm. Beretta has shortened the trigger from the past models. Grip is great for most size hands. As soon as you pick up this gun, you can feel the quality. I highly recommend the APX1 Carry.
