This compact APX A1 configuration brings a 3.7 in steel barrel, a 6.9 in overall length, and a 27.7 oz unloaded weight, giving it a solid feel while remaining easy to carry. The improved A1 trigger with a short reset and the locked-breech, striker-fired action deliver a consistent trigger press in a streamlined package.
The slide is optics-ready with a cover plate and features diagonal front and rear serrations for positive manipulation. Beretta's Aqua Tech Shield treatment and a black finish provide added protection. A loaded-chamber witness port offers quick status checks, and the gun uses a red fiber-optic front sight with a black serrated rear across a 5.7 in sight radius.
Controls are modern and adaptable, including an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release. Interchangeable backstraps and an aggressively textured polymer grip help tailor the feel, while a 3-slot Picatinny accessory rail supports common lights or lasers.
Made in Italy, this APX A1 Compact carries markings such as GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY, BERETTA U.S.A. CORP. ACCOKEEK, MD, and an IT23 stamp. Capacity is 15+1, and this example includes two 15-round steel magazines.
