I prefer SA/DA pistols for concealed carry mainly for the safety aspect, that said we all know how heavily saturated the market is with striker fired polymer framed pistols. Glock started the whole craze and to their credit most major firearm companies have jumped on the bandwagon. So I was excited when Beretta entered the full size striker fired market with their excellent APX. I'm happy to report that the APX is IMO one of the best of the breed. The ergonomics are second to none and the look is distinctly Beretta with that slide setting it apart from the competition. At first I thought the slide serrations was Berettas nuvo art way of being different, but wow those serrations really not only look good they work. The trigger IMO is one of the best with a short pivot like take up and a crisp break followed by a short distinct reset. The APX has a feel all it's own with a thin feeling nicely textured grip, no need for grip tape with the APX. Of all the striker fired pistols the Beretta has become my hands down favorite and I own a lot of competing brands.
