The longer backstrap than other compacts gives you a high, tight shooting grip with absolute ease, with a low bore axis for some incredibly comfortable shooting. Not only that, but it has some wickedly good features that merit you looking at this pistol. Many others have noted in their Beretta APX Centurion review that it's a remarkable pistol, comfortable, accurate and reliable. Granted, that's a pretty crowded space in the market.is the Beretta APX Centurion worth bothering with? The Centurion, again, fits between the APX Compact and the full-size APX, so it's basically a mid-size gun. The APX, after all, was designed for the US military but lost out to the Sig P320. It also shares the modular trigger group, so you can take it out of the Centurion chassis and drop the slide onto the Compact's frame if so desired. The pistol includes a Picatinny rail for mounting accessories, and has the long shelf beavertail and low bore axis that Beretta APX pistols are known for. The takedown lever is not, so you're out of luck there. The magazine release button is reversible, in case lefties want to swap 'em. Slide release controls, as usual, are low-profile and ambidextrous. The pistol has the serrated APX slide that people are used to, so nothing out of the ordinary there. Standard sights are white 3-dot, though they are dovetails and drift-adjustable in case you wanted to swap them for night sights or fiber optics. The gun ships with three of them so you can dial in the fit. The grip has stipling on the front of the grip housing, and stipled swappable backstrap panels. It has the standard safety features of a firing pin block and tabbed trigger safety. The pistol is striker-fired, with a striker deactivation button for safe takedown. Your mileage may vary on price I found them online for as little as $460. The APX Centurion occupies a middle ground between the APX Compact and the full-size APX pistol, with the same barrel as the APX Compact but a slightly longer grip to accommodate a larger magazine, though not the same 17-round unit as the standard APX. Before we get into the features, let's go over the specifications of the Beretta APX Centurion.
