Polish National Police select Beretta APX

[Greg]

1. trigger return spring feels weak. wimpy TRS in any pistol just bugs me. while I dont put much stock in MAC’s torture tests, with the APX he quickly has to manually reset the trigger. I worry that debris especially sand will be an issue. I have no personal data on this just speculation.

Shilling ain’t easy....

Not that I'm biased, but MAC is a fucking hack who intentionally sets guns up for failure and then cries about it when manufacturers don't want to give him stuff for free.

Can you elaborate on that.

I am not a fan of his.

I’m honestly not sure what is and isn’t inside baseball on this topic, but a good example is how the VP9 “failed” his contrived tests, but the AREX somehow didn’t, and oh look he has AREX pistols for sale in his webstore at the same time? Come on.

Plus there was the whole “Agents of the NRA” thing

Unfortunately, the grip feels really small on the APX even with the large backstrap.

To me, that's one of the big plusses of the APX. In the category of duty size handguns, there is no shortage of options for guns with large grips, but the APX does offer an option for those that prefer a shorter trigger reach.

That sounds like what an Agent of the NRA would say.

I'm a fan of the APX. As for "sum dood" on the internet "testing" anything, I take it with a grain of salt. I know as fact from two reliable (to me) sources that the APX did VERY well on the MHS testing. I have always been careful to refer to my selection process as an evaluation rather than a test. In my mind the two terms are very different. I'm not a scientist nor HP White, and thet goes double for nearly all the you tube cranks I've seen. At best, just entertainment in my book.

Beretta is apparently going to release a thumb safety conversion kit soon.

That’s actually pretty cool. I’m assuming it’s ambi? How wide are they and do you have pics showing their profile on both sides?

It is. I don't have the exact spec, but I can measure it in a couple of weeks when I'm back in office.

Watch the video on the page for a good view in the hands of the armorer showing the swap, that'll provide some scale.
