National and competitive shooters alike I'm here today to talk about the beretta apx pistol beretta designed a striker-fired pistol because of a need in the market as you probably already know the world over professional users are switching or have switch to striker-fired pistols the double action single action platform for semi.

Automatic pistols is not dead by any stretch of the imagination however the striker-fired pistol has taken over the professional user market it's not as important to be first to market as it is to be the best on the market and that was Baretta's philosophy when they began the development of this pistol the APX striker-fired pistol.

Project began as it should have with extensive research into what exactly end-users need this research occurred before any chips were cut before any drawings were done identifying the features and performance that the gun had to have to fulfill a wide variety of missions the missions identified were the armed citizens CCW.

The uniformed police officer the tactical police officer and the military knowing who the end users would be allowed beretta to go do directed focused research on what users in each of those communities needed this allowed the team to bring this research back and then bind areas of commonality these commonalities boiled down to four things.

Reliability and durability ergonomics the trigger and modularity in order to optimize the pistol beretta developed a dual track testing protocol the first track of testing is in the laboratory it's a very traditional gun industry way to test a product however as we all know his end-users what occurs in the lab is very isolated and it.

Doesn't involve the input of actual end users at every stage of the development so the second track was a way to test the product in the field they did this through round-robin sessions around the country with all levels of end-users and every phase of the project what this allowed for is no problems got buried hundreds of thousands of rounds were.

Expended testing each variation of the end users use a striker-fired pistol for a variety of reasons all of them valid first and foremost is consistency of trigger press having the same pressure and distance of travel both for the trigger press and the trigger reset allows professional users to train new people much quicker it also allows for a.

More rapid first shot engagement and follow-on shot engagements striker-fired pistols also allow us to generally shoot a little bit faster and while accuracy is paramount in a gunfight accuracy is not everything balance between speed and accuracy is required.
