Nutnfancy on the Beretta APX A1 Full Size Tactical

Does the Beretta APX A1 Full Size Tactical fix what bugged people about the original APX, and is it worth carrying a couple of extra ounces over lighter striker guns? Nutnfancy reviewed the first APX back in 2017, and this 2026 update walks the A1 Tactical through their usual features rundown and range notes.

What they cover: the shallower slide serrations that replace the harsh cuts on the original APX, the 21‑round magazines (three ship in the box, per the video), the threaded barrel with suppressor‑height sights, the optics cut (plates are ordered separately, according to their review), the swappable backstraps and reversible magazine release, and the stainless steel chassis. They weigh it against the Springfield XDM and the CZ P‑10 F, measure the trigger heavier than Beretta’s listed spec, and log one stoppage alongside their accuracy notes from 7 yards. Specific claims, measurements, and range results in the video are theirs, not ours. The gun review runs about 20 minutes before they move on to the gear on the table.

Here’s our take. Buy into the APX A1 Tactical if you want a big 9mm for home defense, a truck gun, or suppressor work, and you care more about getting a threaded barrel, tall sights, and high capacity in one box than about saving weight. Skip it if you need something you can actually conceal, since Nutnfancy calls it too big for carry, or if your household already runs Glock or SIG magazines, because APX A1 magazines are proprietary. The full‑size Tactical we stock wears the same Flat Dark Earth finish as their review gun. Watch the trigger segment and the range notes before you decide whether the weight is a fair trade for what comes in the box.
