Beretta APX Centurion

The Beretta APX Centurion extends the proven APX series into a compact, mid-size format, designed for shooters who want duty-level performance in a slightly shorter, more concealable package.

Chambered in 9mm, the Centurion uses a striker-fired, short recoil, locked-breech system with a low bore axis and a crisp, consistent trigger pull. The pistol is built around Beretta’s removable, serialized steel chassis, housed in a fibreglass-reinforced polymer frame, making it modular and easy to maintain.

With a 3.70″ barrel and an overall length of about 6.97″ (177mm), the APX Centurion sits neatly between the full-size APX and the smaller APX Compact, giving you a very usable sight radius and controllability while still being comfortable to carry in a quality holster.

In its 9mm configuration, the Centurion is typically supplied with flush-fit double-stack magazines:

• 15-round steel magazines (15+1 capacity when chambered)

This gives you solid capacity in a mid-size frame, ideal for defensive roles, sport shooting or professional use.

Ergonomics are a strong point of the APX line. The Centurion features:

• Interchangeable backstraps to fit different hand sizes

• A highly textured grip for secure purchase

• Ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release, making it suitable for left- and right-handed shooters

The slide is fitted with the APX family’s signature aggressive front and rear serrations, providing excellent traction for press checks and manipulations in all conditions. Low-profile three-dot sights offer a clear, quick sight picture, and an integrated Picatinny rail on the dust cover allows mounting of lights or lasers for defensive use.

Internal safeties include a trigger safety, firing pin block and out-of-battery safety, all designed to help prevent accidental discharge when the pistol is handled correctly, while still providing a consistent striker-fired trigger feel.
