Analysis

Beretta introduced the APX Compact in 2018 with the Centurion. It is the short-grip gun in the first APX line: same mid-length slide as the Centurion, shorter magazine well. Catalogs listed 9 mm and .40 S&W. Civilian sales ended as the A1 line took over that size class. Used Compact pistols with original magazines and backstraps sit at the top of the value range.
