Subsequent to my previous post I saw a couple at a gun show a couple of weeks ago at a booth of one of the larger local gun stores. As I was checking them out, one of the sales guys - a guy I've seen regularly at this booth over the years - commented he recently heard from Beretta that they were sending the dealers $100 rebates for the APX guns they've had in inventory prior to the price roll backs to make it easier for them to reduce the price of their stocked pistols.

Hmmm, I wonder if they know something we don't?
Those that were stocking the APX probably paid whatever their cost is based on an MSRP of $500ish. Since Beretta dropped the price below $400, most folks aren't going to buy a $500 APX when they can order one for less. This gives the stores the opportunity to reduce the price of the guns they already had in inventory to avoid losing money on Beretta's choice to reduce prices.
anyone have any experience with the red dot optic model? There’s a promo on sportsman outdoor store where you get a free vortex venom (not the greatest red dot obviously) when you order the apx rdo. I find the apx intriguing and would like to try one out.

The 9mm RDO does not have the lightening groove in the slide the other 9mm's do so it is a bit heavier as you can see by looking at the specs. The 40's don't have that groove. I have heard a few people say they think the RDO slides are wider than the regular slides. I have not seen any information to substantiate those claims. I can see how it may appear wider where the milling is since it is flat and the top of regular (and RDO's away from milling) slides are slightly rounded. I'd really like an RDO in 9mm and 40 and plan on getting full size RDO's in both.
I agree with those that think the APX is a quality, solid, reliable pistol. I really like my Centurion 40.
Has anyone used the APX with Trijicon HD / HD XR sights? Is POA/POI the same and stock OEM sights or does it change? Can you still drive the dot with both?
