Full ambidextrous controls.Īdditionally, the gentle curve and flat surface of the trigger created a great contact patch for my finger.

This enabled me to refine my sight picture before sending the round downrange. I appreciated the textured patches along the frame where my thumb tips rest, further improving stability during recoil.ĭuring accuracy drills, I liked how the trigger hit a very defined wall before I broke the shot. The slide, although a bit blocky, was very functional, and the serrations made it easy to manipulate for reloading and press checking. The grip texture was strong on the front and rear and allowed me to mitigate recoil pretty well. I enjoyed how the deep beavertail and undercut trigger guard complimented my high grip. In the beginning, I focused on how the ergonomics affected my use of the gun. Running through our normal range drills, I found the A1 did a great job. I was shooting a packaged gun that came equipped with the Burris Fastfire 3 and could not co-witness the standard height sights as a result.Ī1 magazines are metal bodied with plastic base pads.īeretta spent some time here as the bottom of the grip features a cut that mirrors a swelling on the base pad of the magazine, allowing shooters to grab the magazine and pull it out with some force if needed.Īdditional features include texturing on the forward portion of the frame where thumb tips tend to end up, an accessory rail under the muzzle, and grooves on the front of the trigger guard. Sights on the APX A1 are metal and consist of a white dot in the front and black rear. The break was crisp, and reset was audible and tactile, occurring after a short distance of release. I noticed a couple of millimeters of pretravel before hitting a defined wall. Additionally, the trigger broke on an average of 4 pounds, 4 ounces on the Lyman digital gauge. The trigger bow is nicely done, with a wide, flat surface and a gentle curve. Its beavertail is nicely extended and does a great job of protecting even my 2X hands. The undercut on the grip allows shooters to place their main shooting hand nice and high on the grip, which helps mitigate recoil. Grip texture is fairly aggressive on the front strap and back strap, though more relaxed on the sides. The grip is a good size, somewhat narrow with the base grip module, and ovular in shape. There are also different areas of serrations, distinctly front and rear. However, the slide serrations make that comparison soon stop.Ĭompared to the original A1, these serrations are much closer together and angled, arguably making them more useful. When empty, the A1 feels pretty heavily weighted toward the muzzle, and looking down at the top of the slide, one is reminded of another blocky handgun hailing from Europe. With solid reliability and decent accuracy, the A1 is a great value for the price. The gun’s performance demonstrated it would serve nicely in either role. Combining the feature set with Beretta’s marketing, the A1 is intended for law enforcement or personal security. Who Is It For?īased on the features, you can tell the A1 was designed as a defensive pistol. In addition, there is a substantial beavertail as well as various grip modules to help you customize to your preference. The trigger guard features a deeper undercut, allowing for a higher grip. In 2016 Beretta released the APX, and while this pistol did well, the APX A1 shows marked improvements.įor instance, the A1 has improved ergonomics despite the pistols being nearly the same size.
