I mounted this rear sight after my Holosun on riser so i havent tried to sight it in with front sight. I need to change my post to the one that was included if i want to cowitness this with the front sight correct???
Wow - what a great and informative video! It's rare to see someone give an accurate appraisal of an APX online. I believe it was the plethora of ignorant American Guntubers who - not understanding (or caring) that it was designed to be a pure LE/Military combat pistol - incessantly whined that the trigger wasn't a CZ Shadow trigger, the takedown was too difficult (they didn't bother reading the manual), it didn't have a red dot, etc etc that caused Beretta to dumb it down with the A1. Just as an aside concerning the rear sights: I'm viewing this on a phone so I can't see details, but they have the same appearance that the 1st gen Tritium sights from Beretta have, which gives the appearance of a black dot in the middle of a white circle in daylight (not the same style as the A1 tritium fronts, which has no white outline from what I've been told?). They were made by Ameriglo. Do the rear sights have any branding on them from Ameriglo? Or is it just a painted black dot on them? Anyways, great video - good job on showing how easy it is to take down an APX. I've noticed a few videos online where they have difficulty, but the recoil spring looks all gnarly and messed up - which might be what's giving them issues.
@@harpsitardo thank you! Unfortunately the sights aren’t Ameriglo sights. It’s almost as if the white paint caved in in the center. Most from this batch do not have this issue but a few others have reported this same problem. Not a huge deal to me as I plan on changing them to night sights.
I just found this video trying to research why my old cheetah went off "on safe". I found a nice condition old nickel model in consignment. Was showing the gf the manual of arms. When I showed her the safety function i was demonstrsting how the trigger will be dead... Then got a boom. It went downrange. Slide is now stuck with an empty case in it... I can see why these were discontinued. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen
@@BrowncoatNerd oh, nice! I have been contemplating buying one of these. I'm kind of an M&P fanboy though so I'm going back and forth between these APX's and the LEO M&P trade ins. I bought one of the M&P 45's last year and found it to be a great value but the APX is a spanking new gun for $20 more???🤔 decisions decisions.😅
I got mine for 300 with a Burris 3 red dot. The trigger breaks in and it is very accurate with no malfunctions after 500 rounds. Just have to shoot the crap out of it and the trigger gets better. I also was patient and picked up 5 7 round mags.
I've had my C93 for a few years now. FYI "the KGB65" has great vids on the C93. I used his vids to measure the bolt gap. Mine was off so I ordered the correct size rollers and replaced them. I know a lot of people have problems with Century C93's but mine runs great. You just have to use brass cased ammo. Don't expect them to run on steel cased ammo. Back in '96 , in the Marines, I was on a UNITAS and I remember seeing the Chileans with HK 33's. I remember thinking that they were issued some pretty expensive weapons. The Peruvians special forces guys had what looked like South African R4's/LM4's.
@@bobbyb7127 so far (mostly). But I’ve only got around 300-400 rounds through it. I did have two jams shooting 50 rounds of cheap remanufactured On Target brand ammo.
Really enjoyed your video and comments on this Yugo SKS. I just purchased one in mint condition with matching numbers including the wood for $550. Not planning to shoot it and be part of my collection.
The quality is really very impressive. With the dark brown (and black rifle) the camera can’t handle the contrast. If you film against a lighter background the problem will disappear. Thanks for the review, hardly anything on these kits online. They are great.
@@cizfiz Sonny! Good to hear from you! I’ll have another Beretta review out soon but forgive me, it’s a polymer American made Beretta. Also how is the new puppy dog?
The center click does not have a purpose and should not be there. Read the manual don’t read the manual, whatever. That is an easily mistake, unsafe condition that should not exist on the gun.
Thank you for this review and information. I purchased one from AIM Surplus and am very pleased with it. The information that you provided in your video was spectacular and really interesting and informative. I would like to respond to your comments on the white dot rear sights. Just to let you know, I can see indents in the center of the white dots but they remained intact unlike yours which had a black hole in the center. Mine are solid but I do like the way that yours turned out. Thanks again for your very informative review.
@@sunnyb5755 why do you think it’s made in Poland? It literally says “made in jugoslavia” on it. And all of the ones I’ve seen are either made in Yugoslavia or Serbia. I’ve never seen or heard of one being made in Poland.
Thanks for the video. Out of frustration, I was using my APX slide as a paperweight for a while. I finally put it back together last night, and used your video to make sure that I did it correctly. By the way, I absolutely hated the first Gen slide, but for the price I paid, I got used to it. LOL! Edit: Put it back together and the trigger didn’t work. I found out that the spring that goes over the rear spring was in the right position, but didn’t have enough tension on it. Took it back apart (it gets easier), put a little tension on the spring, and it works just fine.
You can take it out off the jig as many times as you want, When you want to drill the holes you need to tape or use screws to shut the jig where it’s open if it’s not perfectly closed. You can use a handheld drill or a Drill press using a dremel. Handheld drill you have to make sure your going perfectly straight down i use a dresser a put the battery up against it and drill straight down vs holding it in the air. NEVER take out more polymer after drilling the holes The rails are cheaper then the frame !! You can’t always take out material but never but material back ! I’ve built 15+ Of these and perfect everytime polished internals sanded evenly frame rails Etc ! Marine Gun builder is one of the best P80 Builders Along with some others i can’t think of
i inherited my great grandfather's type 99 arisaka. he only put 20 rounds through it. operates beautifully. ive been on the quest to find a clip of similar material to use with it because i want to use it as it was intended. ill look into victory arms. at the moment i reload my own ammo but i definitely want to find some at a decent price too.
The four digit marking does in fact denote the manuf date. And the mark under the ejection port is a LE marking. I just got one of these about 3 weeks ago. I like it.
Not as difficult as other channels made it out to be. Really all you need is a punch, pick, and small hammer and its done in 15 minutes. I also put on an FDE frame and it looks great. Thanks for the help!
@@BrowncoatNerd Actually, it was 9mm Glisenti. It's close to .380 acp(a.k.a 9mm short/kurtz/Browning), but you shouldn't fire a .380 acp with a 9mm Glisenti chambered firearm.
@@BrowncoatNerd they are good dudes in there, I hope they can help. They are local for me and have always been accommodating, so I doubt they intentionally wronged you.
I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them. Unless you’re referring to the rear sights on my APX. That doesn’t matter to me because I was planning on changing those out anyways.
2 things. I'm holding an 85F in my hands that I just inherited from my father. You can't put the safty in that middle position with a round chambered. That is just telling you it's not chambered, so it doesn't need to be put on safty. Second, I am very concerned that your gun will fire cycle with the mag out. I owned an 84FS years ago and as said, just acquired this 85F. Neither would cycle with the mag out. I would have a gunsmith look at that. Aside from that, they are great guns and at $400 you got that at an incredible price. Oh, just saw that this was done 7 years ago. They sell for a LOT more today. Great review and I love the fact you had other models on hand for comparison.
@@my2cents930 thank you! I’m not sure why your decocker doesn’t have the “false safety”. All of the 80 series F and FSs including the new 80X have this problem. But consider yourself lucky that you don’t have this problem. As for the magazine disconnect safety I appreciate your concern but it’s fine. It turns out that Beretta sold these both with and without a magazine disconnect safety. It appears that most (if not all) that where sold to law enforcement were sold without the magazine disconnect safety. I also have an 84F that supposedly came from the Israeli police that also doesn’t have the magazine disconnect safety. Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j_rDKi8XjW0.htmlsi=184ldPLrcquHSb02
@@BrowncoatNerd A different firearm of mine had a similar issue. Actually the whole white insert in the sight fell out so it was even more extreme. I took some white citadel paint that I use to paint warhammer figures and put one dab on with a tiny brush and it fixed the issue. I don’t mind the black dots so I’m leaving my APX but if I was to remove them without getting new sights that’s what I’d do.
