Beretta APX Compact has the proven trigger, ambidextrous controls and slide serrations just like its full-sized sibling. Bore axis stays low, providing muzzle control, less recoil and increases accuracy. Serialized chassis come with various grip strap sizes and can accommodate various grip frames. Barrel length is reduced to 3.7′′, grip frame is half an inch shorter than the Centurion, and both are reduced in comparison to full-sized frames. The 9mm magazine holds 13+1 rounds, and full-sized, Centurion, and 20-round magazines are all compatible. The controls are the same, and while the grip frame lacks finger grooves, the checkering pattern is the same. One rail is removed from the light rail. A white dot configuration is used for the sights, with the front dot being noticeably bigger. Both assembly and disassembly are the same.
