#9MM BERETTA AMMO SERIAL NUMBER#

At launch, the APX will be dressed in black, but we can find grip modules in other three colors: Flat Dark Earth (FDE), Wolf Grey and OD Green. This means that Beretta could introduce other options such as different calibers, frame sizes and, oh yes, colors.

You'll find that there is a rectangular cutout on the left side of the grip module that reveals the pistol's serial number that's been laser engraved to the chassis. So, the traditional plastic frame is not the serialized gun. Army's quest for its Modular Handgun System (MHS) began, striker-fired chassis pistols have become the rage. Inside the APX is a striker-fired stainless steel chassis.

We tweaked and tweaked since the first prototypes were tested in mid-2013.' 'The original pistol doesn't look like what it does today, and that's due to the feedback of professionals. 'The APX has gone through a number of design changes in the last 1 million rounds,' said John Tamborino, tactical product manager for Beretta USA. The project started five years ago when it became obvious that Uncle Sam was hell bent on retiring Beretta's legendary M9. Though initially sold in black, Beretta will offer other-colored grip modules for around $50 each. Additionally, the side panels have been given a molded grit texture that is less aggressive than the aforementioned checkering.

And, unlike many of the new pistols featuring removable backstraps, the APX is more like the Ruger American and Smith & Wesson M&P, which also feature interchangeable saddle-like backstraps and side panels. Don't like finger grooves telling you where your digits should lay? I'm reluctant to call too much attention to them because they are very subtle. What is also tactile is the molded 14 lines-per-inch (lpi) pyramid-style checkering between the grip's finger grooves and on the backstrap. Though each serration presents an aggressive touch point, the spacing of each rib keeps them from working together as if they were part of a cheese grater to shred fingers, clothes and holsters. It is going to do what you want it to do.

Even if the act of clearing a malfunction is fumbled, grab any point on the slide, and it can be easily grasped. When the slide is manipulated, one can't help but notice that those serrations are positively grippy. Aesthetics aside, I think the nickname is kind of appropriate given that the APX handles and shoots pretty sweet. Friends on the web have been referring to the slide as 'Tactical Toblerone,' which is likely intended as a dig comparing its serrations to the appearance of the cuts on the Swiss-made chocolate bar. I use both and I love these 9mm rounds! They're right up there with Winchester, 'Ranger-T'.Like slide serrations? Then Beretta APX deserves your attention. If you carry, or need something for self-defense I highly recommend Federal, 'HST' 124 gr. Fiocchi, 'Perfecta' is, also, very popular at our range, right now. I do my best to stay away from either steel-cased, or Com-Bloc ammo and, so far, thanks to Federal and a few other ammo manufacturers I've been able to do it. (Incipient tendonitis in my hands might, also, have had something to do with this decision - Almost 40 years of reloading beats hell out of your hands and lower forearms!)

I used to burn up 1,000 round cases of Aluminum Blazers but, for range use, I've recently switched over to Federal, 'Champion' and/or Federal, 'American Eagle'.įor many many years I reloaded 9 x 19mm but, the only slight difference in cost, and acceptable quality of Wal-Mart ammo finally caused me to simply go to Wal-Mart. I buy, almost, all of my 9mm, 'range ammo' at Wal-Mart. There's no reason to kill this thread - What for? :roll:
