I knew there was a good chance the next handgun I bought was gonna be another Beretta, but I figured it would be an 80X, or an M9A4, or a 92X. I wasn't really looking to get into polymer striker-fired pistols any time soon, but when I saw a site selling never-issued Brazilian police trade-in APXs for $299 a pop I thought fuck it and snatched one up.
So far, I like it. It feels nice in my hand, the mag release is easier to reach with my thumb than on my 92FS, and I really like that the slide release is ambidextrous. The all black is a little boring, but you can order grip frames in other colors. Which I may have already done. In OD green, because it's my favorite color.
I'm gonna have to swap the mag release over to the other side and I want to try out the other backstraps, but luckily it came with the owner's manual.
So let's just crack that bad boy open, and...
...wait.
Oh, right. Brazilian police gun.
