Viva Italia! Brazilian Law Enforcement agencies have ordered up to 159,000 units of Beretta’s APX striker-fired semi-automatic pistol. The pistol is going to be used by the National Public Security Force and the regional police forces of several of Brazil’s 26 states. The contract between Beretta and the Brazilian Ministry of Justice will last over 18 months, with a commitment from Beretta to supply up to 159,000 pistols for a maximum value of 57 million Euros (roughly $69 million USD).
The new Beretta APX semiautomatic pistol, utilizing a removable, serialized chassis frame, can be easily modified with replaceable grip frame housings and is simple to disassemble and maintain. Ease of use was the key driver in the development of the APX.
The APX’s extremely low profile, snag free, design makes it easy to carry and draw from the holster. To accommodate right or left-handed use, the APX’s magazine release button can be easily reversed. The light, durable grip frame housing employs modern thermoplastic technology through the use of fiberglass reinforced technopolymer.
Beretta have some good pictures explaining the function of the APX.

A little over a year ago the Polish Policja (Police) decided to go with the Beretta APX as well, ordering about 5,000 units. The Swedish Police is currently looking for a new service pistol for 2020-21, and the Beretta APX and the Beretta PX4 are some of the handguns on their list.

I’ve never shot one but I handled them quite a bit since they were introduced. The ones I handled have excellent triggers. I was thinking of getting one for a couple of years but am already 9mm pistol rich sooo.
I never was a fan of the PX4.
I hope the TAC-14 starts showing in stores soon..Remington Websites Are Up

Remington.com is for ammunition and RemArms.comis for firearms.
We will never understand California or New York.I’m only guessing as I don’t know that much about California. Could it be that gun buyers have another issue as their main voting issue ? The non-gun population vastly outvotes the gun enthusiasts? Or probably worst yet, gun buyers are ok with silly draconian gun laws?!?
I’m disappointed after reading this:

◀Previous Post Next Post▶ The current Florida legislative session adjourns on April 30. Republicans hold a 24-16 majority in the Senate and a 78-42 majority in the House. Given those margins and the current climate in the country, you might think that pro-gun rights bills would be flying...
