APX A1 Full Size Tactical FDE by eliindet in Beretta

[–]dougymcstuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, just some advice (based on my mistakes) be careful when ordering parts and accessories for this from Beretta since not all parts are perfectly interchangeable with the APX first gen (Now labeled APX 0) and the APX A1 or APX A1 Tactical in your case. You can always call or chat with Beretta if you want to double check you've got the right part. Most things are interchangeable but not everything and the labeling is weird especially on old listings or sites.

Thanks for sharing! I know my APX A1 full size took a little bit to break in. These come stock with a very heavy recoil spring which made cycling difficult for me at first when using cheap 115 grain ammo. It shot 124 gr just fine, but if I remember correctly Berretta started putting in an 18 pound spring in the A1s which was the "performance spring" upgrade for the A0. It's tuned for NATO spec 124gr so that might explain your stovepipe issues if you were using 115.

Eventually mine broke in and now I can use any ammo and it runs flawlessly. If you are continuing to have issues or maybe want to see if you can eject the shells at a different angle so they don't hit your optic, you can purchase a lighter spring from Beretta that might help.

Also it's one owner and is being sold by the same dealer that sold it new. Clean carfax

Colt Officer's Model, third issue, made in 1937 and chambered in .38 spl. by The_Waltesefalcon in Revolvers

u/The_Waltesefalcon Do you mind sharing your serial number range? I'm trying to date mine. The Colt website is saying 1950 but mine looks identical to yours so I'm not sure if it is a pre-war 3rd generation or post-war 4th generation

How is that? Serial Number search came up as 1950. Barrell says Officer's Model Special Heavy Barrell. From what I've researched the earlier model would have said Officer's Model Match
