Looks like Beretta just came out with an updated APX carry. New slide serrations, new texture, slight control differences, supposedly lighter improved trigger, optic ready.
Looks nice, cant believe they update the fram to 10 rounds or so like a shield plus, maybe they can since it is modular?
Ernest any opinions or insight?

New serrations look much nicer than the old ones. Hope they eventually offer those serrations on the regular apx line
Some basic information and images here.
Rear sight goes away with the RDO mounted. They claim a better, shorter trigger. One wonders if the Nano genetics are mostly gone now?
It LOOKS like a logical, practical step in the development of Beretta's subcompact nine.
Not sure how much I would like a pocket gun with an optic on it, but never say never.

Personally I think it looks like they bought a brownells aftermarket Glock slide and threw it on there.
This is bittersweet for me, I've been interested in these since the OG release. Sad to see the trigger was changed, I really liked that part of it from the one I handled. Shorter and lighter don't appeal to me on a carry piece, sad to say but I'm sure there were mass complaints that the trigger was LONG AND HEAVY (sigh).
I also wonder if theres a way to get a RMRcc mounted to this, I don't see it listed on the copy I read and that's the one optic I'd want on this pistol. I don't particularly mind not having BUIS on this with RDO mounted if I could run the RMRcc as I feel it's durable enough to be pretty unlikely to fail for my uses.
I quote myself from he Beretta APX thread...Originally Posted by Zman001

I get the feeling with all the negative feedback the slide treatment gets ...that Beretta is going to come out with a new model with a more conventional slide. I don't think the current slide profile is awful, but I'd rather have more conventional grasping serrations. Because that bug is in my head (put there by myself), I'm hesitant to get something that could possibly change to something I prefer more, before the change is made. Therefore, I wait for a model that may never come.
Good lord that thing is fugly
It seems Beretta either produces aesthetically pleasing designs ala the 92 series, PX4 or cougar
Then comes out with absolute oddities like the APX, ARX100 rifles makes me think their designers are bi polar
That makes at least two of us. When I fired a rental Nano for the first time, I was what you might call surprised. When the magazine was empty, I said to my pard, "This is the pocket nine I have been looking for!" Why? The trigger.
The trigger was going to be changed. Just like the Ruger Mark IV takedown was going to be changed. We have become a nation that either can't handle a long or stiff trigger/can't follow a printed manual/can't change the oil in their car, or are too entitled to be inconvenienced by the above. Rant off.
The Nano and APX Carry examples I have given my best technique all showed better accuracy than I would expect. In that respect, the things could benefit from a shorter pull.
But there are no free lunches.

Whats with Walther and now Beretta coming out with guns that are more blocky then Glocks now?
