Beretta's new striker pistol

Beretta 92's have great lines and are a modern classic
The current bunch of polymer guns are great working guns and ultra reliable but not near as nice as the 92 series
 
I'd at least like to try shooting the APX one day. You never know... weirder looking things have shot pretty damn good.

THAT being said:

 
It looks very similar to Arsenal's Strike One...

Looks to me like they have considered all the best idea's from Glock and Springfield Xdm pistols. New striker fired pistol certainly makes sense for Beretta since they had nothing to offer in this area previously. Reliability will be the area of interest for me, Going to be hard to compete with years of proven Glock reliability. I know my PX4 Storm is my least reliable pistol but it also has an after market barrel because of our ridiculus laws so this could be a factor in why it jams.

Like the sight radius, striker cocked indicator, better sights than standard Glock IMHO, aggressive slide serrations, polymer lower, trigger, and looks like it can be made to fit your hand quite easily. Certainly be worth a look as I do like collecting Beretta's.
 
I don't see what this offers over a glock. Also, those slide serrations look like they suck.

What makes me sad is that this will probably get here before my long awaited SFP9
 
This review may be just repeating the Beretta marketing-speak (from the mouth of Beretta Defense Technology’s John Chapman), but it is a pretty good list to look at. There are, IMO, significant steps forward from where a Glock G4 stands today.

It is also worth noting that they are not settled on details of the package(s) that will go out to various Civilian/LEO markets. That's part of the strategy I think: something that is a decent base which can be readily manufactured with various features for a given market.

Note this is a "chassis" pistol, like the Sig P320: the trigger group is serialized and the rest is swappable. If the US Military program's definition of "modular" ends up requiring this degree of modularity, then Beretta looks like it can meet that checkbox (and all the other checkboxes the US Military might throw out there as well, all the way down to a mag with no holes in it). First configs will likely be 9mm and .40 S&W, but I would be very surprised if they haven't planned for a .45 ACP conversion as well.

The military contract is really why they even bothered with a plastic gun, if it misses out it's still good to go for the consumer market.
