The APX A1 Full Size pairs a fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame with a removable serialized stainless-steel chassis (FCU) to deliver a durable, serviceable foundation. Chambered in 9mm Luger, it uses a 4.25 in steel barrel and offers a 17+1 capacity. Approximate dimensions are 7.56 x 5.59 x 1.30 in, with an unloaded weight around 28.9 oz.
The slide is optics-ready via Beretta’s adapter-plate system and arrives with a cover plate installed. Deep front and rear serrations aid manipulation, and a loaded-chamber witness port provides quick visual status. Sights are dovetailed iron units: a red fiber-optic front and a black notched rear.
Controls and ergonomics are set up for adaptable use. The magazine release is currently configured for left-hand orientation and is reversible. Interchangeable backstraps help fine-tune fit. The flat-faced trigger features an integral safety tab, and the striker-fired action is supported by a suite of safety features: trigger safety, firing-pin block, out-of-battery safety, and striker deactivation for takedown.
This APX A1 includes an integral 1913-style four-slot accessory rail for lights or lasers. Markings include “GARDONE V.T. MADE IN ITALY” and “BERETTA USA CORP. ACCOKEEK, MD,” along with the “FIRES WITHOUT MAGAZINE” notice on the frame, underscoring its Italian manufacture and U.S. importation details.
