My vote would be the APX and the P07.. Don't see the point in getting the Sig being that it's out of production and mags and spare parts are hard to come by.
Being that I assume most know little to none about the APX, here are some key features:
- Breaking the entire frame down to only a polymer shell as well as breaking down the slide is quick and easy. Makes cleaning and parts swaps a breeze.
- It has an under cut trigger
- Stainless steel serialized chassis system which makes the gun modular.
- Steel recoil spring assembly that last 20k rounds before the springs need to be changed. The recoil spring assembly is user serviceable, e.i., you can change the springs on the stock guide rod without having to buy a whole new assembly.
- Decent grip texturing that's aggressive but not too aggressive.
- Has an out the box trigger that's better than many other pistols in it's class IMHO. It's around 6lb stock and 4.5-5.5 with the Beretta's $10 Competition Striker Spring installed.
- 10, 13, 15, 17, and 21 round factory mags are all interchangeable similar to Glock mags. However, Beretta offers OEM grip sleeves that take up the extra space. The APX in my pictures is a Compact (Glock 26 size) with the 15 round Centurion (Glock 19 size) mag and grip sleeve. Mags can be found on sale on a regular basis for between $16-$25. I purchased 10 in various sizes and capacity at separate times all for under $20.
- It's ambidextrous (not a feature that matters to me, but thought I'd mention it).
- Has a striker de-activator just like the M&P, so you can, but don't have to pull the trigger to field strip.
- The feel and fit and finish is on par with other $400-$500+ firearms like M&P, Glock, CZ, etc..
- Has a low bore axis
- The APX Combat ships with an optic cut slide and threaded barrel; however, unlike with most other optic cut handguns being sold, Beretta includes the steel mounting plates for all the popular red dots that are currently available on the market. Optic places usually sale for $40-$100 each, but Beretta includes several for free.
Unlike other polymer pistols on the market, the APX has only been around for little over 4 years. It was created to compete in the military trails vs Glock and Sig, but Beretta only had a prototype at that point (as I understand it), and Glock and the P320 were well established.
Even still, the Beretta APX is sold in over 21 different countries, and is issued by military and L.E. in the following counties and counting: Albania, Algeria, France , Indonesian, Italy, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Poland, Seychelles, Thailand, and Brazilian thus far internationally (
Brazil ditched Taurus and just recently ordered 159,000 APX pistols). The Gallatin (TN), Wetumpka (AL), and the Glendale Heights (IL) police departments use them in the U.S. This list has grown substantially within the past year as more and more places around the world are slowly adopting them.
