This APX is the original-generation full-size model, chambered in 9mm Luger with a 4.25-inch steel barrel and a matte black finish. It uses a modular, removable serialized steel chassis (FCU) inside a polymer frame with textured panels and Beretta trident logos.
Controls are practical and adaptable, with an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release. A striker-deactivation button is included, and the frame is marked "FIRES WITHOUT MAGAZINE," indicating the pistol does not use a magazine safety. Capacity is 19+1 with the included magazines.
The slide features full-height front and rear serrations for confident manipulation. Sights are fixed and dovetailed, with a white-dot front and a fixed rear. A three-slot Picatinny rail on the dust cover supports compatible lights or accessories.
Origin and markings are clear: "GARDONE V.T. MADE IN ITALY" with import marking "BERETTA USA CORP. ACKK. MD." This configuration reflects the APX series design language and build known from Beretta’s Italian production.
