My only other Beretta is a PX4 Storm Compact, and the licensed Beretta night sights that I put on that gun have never given me a problem. I'm certain that they will send another front sight for free, but I'm concerned about their build quality.
Beretta centurion license#
I've done 90% of my own sight-swaps over the years without issue, but I couldn't get the front sight on the Centurion to budge.Ĭlick to expand.Ameriglo has the official license from Beretta. I'm impressed by everything about the gun, except the sights. I've had my APX Centurion for a few months. Had I known about the sight-swapping nightmare ahead of time, I would've passed on the APX.
I insist on fiber-optics or night sights on any gun that I may eventually carry. I would advise anyone thinking about swapping sights to be prepared. I like the way the APX shoots, and am impressed with the quality of everything but the sights. My gunsmith has been in business for years, and I have never heard anything negative about his work. Unfortunately, the tritium has already stopped working after 6-weeks, so I will be starting the whole process over. Ameriglo sent a new sight, which was installed without breaking at no charge. Sure enough, the front snapped when he attempted to insert the licensed Ameriglo front sight I ordered from Beretta. I took the Centurion to my gunsmith, and he immediately warned me that APX sights fit extremely tight, and often break when anyone attempts to adjust them. I've done 90% of my own sight-swaps over the years without issue, but I couldn't get the front sight on the Centurion to budge. It’s another one on my short list, perhaps he can tell you how he likes that model if he ever returns from hiding from us here on the forum instead of tending his chickens in the coop 24/7Ĭlick to expand.I've had my APX Centurion for a few months. I believe has the APX Carry model which is their single stack 6-8 round subcompact that was introduced after their compact introduction. Hope this helps, and good luck with the new APX. Hopefully this uTube link will display here, if not, search for Scooth00 APX Centurion review to find it. A spring has to be unhooked first to remove the assembly from the old grip, and reattached once in the new grip module. It’s not as easy as the Sig P320, but doesn’t look too complicated.
Beretta centurion how to#
I like they way it feels, and once I change the grip modules to compact, it could be a candidate for my EDC (although the Centurion could also be an EDC in the same mold as Glock G19).īelow is a link of Scooth00‘s review of the Centurion, if it’s the same one I watch when I bought mine, he also shows how to remove the trigger assembly to swap grip modules. The difference between the two besides the grip modules, is the centurion holds 15 rounds vs 13 rounds for the compact.įor Beretta‘s first attempt into the polymer handgun market (I think it might have been a candidate for the Army’s contract the P320 won), it a fine shooting firearm (I haven’t fired many rounds, just 1 or 2 trips to the range so far). Since the Centurion & now released compact share the same barrel and slide length, I went ahead and got the compact grip (around $40 give or take back then), but I haven’t yet change it.
But, like Sig’s P320, the trigger assembly firing controls (FCU as it’s known in the P320), can be removed and placed in a different grip module. It was listed as the compact at my LGS, since their compact model wasn’t yet on the market, so at that time, the Centurion was their smallest model.
