The APX’s first-generation configuration delivers the original slide profile with aggressive front and rear serrations and an external extractor. The slide is marked "GARDONE V.T. MADE IN ITALY," and the factory catalog code JAXF421 denotes the full-size .40 S&W variant. The 4.25 in barrel and 15+1 capacity align with the model’s duty-size setup.
The fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame houses a removable serialized internal metal chassis. An interchangeable backstrap system tailors the grip, and this example includes two additional backstraps. The square-textured, reversible magazine release supports different shooter preferences.
Controls and safeties include a striker-fired system with a safety-tab trigger and a striker deactivation feature for disassembly. Dovetailed 3-dot sights are standard, with a single-dot front and a windage-adjustable two-dot rear.
An integral three-slot MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail is molded into the frame for mounting compatible lights or accessories. This pistol ships with two steel, double-stack 15-round magazines, plus the original case and owner’s manual.
