1. Weak Ejection:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Among the most common Beretta APX problems, one issue that almost all users have had to deal with is weak ejection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of the Beretta APX, the bullet shells often tend to fly directly back at the shooter’s face, and in some especially rare cases, even to the left. Even though the ejection hole is to the right of the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta APX has a pretty stout spring which can be the root cause of the issue alongside its special internal design mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, users have reported that when using more powerful or high-powered ammo<\/a>, this issue does not exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-pressure ammo such as the 9mm Winchester NATO<\/a> is said to resolve this issue entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once going through several hundred rounds of this high-pressure ammo, the springs eventually break in. Then the gun shows better ejection on other types of rounds as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Poor Accuracy:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta APX has a reputation to have poor accuracy according to some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a lot to do with Berettas\u2019 Combat Sighting System which they used in the APX. This sighting system varies from the traditional one. Which may cause newer users to face difficulty aiming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are two different solutions to this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
