However, this is more interesting for thin-fingered users, because the testers did not find the effort required to load the seventeenth cartridge particularly hard. Accessories include the obligatory brush and a cable lock, a spare magazine and a loading aid. Barrel and recoil spring can be lifted out of the slide. Like its predecessor, the APX A1 is amazingly easy and quick to disassemble: just remove the magazine from the decocked gun, push the takedown lever, which protrudes somewhat on the right, and then rotate it, move the slide forward and remove it from the frame. Only the disassembly lever is mounted on one side only, on the left in the firing direction. This is because it does not have a manual safety, and when locked back the slide can be released operating a double-sided lever. After swapping the magazine release, the left-handed user can now enjoy a pistol that is completely left-handed. Both the rear and fronts sight can be drifted laterally in the dovetail. The rear sight, whose muzzle-side end is perpendicular to the slide surface, also permits single-handed loading through a sufficiently stable edge in an emergency. Off and replaced with a better-fitting one. The edge of the claw in fact protrudes somewhat visually and its upper side is colored red and signals "danger".Īfter pulling the metal retainer out of the grip, the backstrap can be pulled The extractor claw signals whether a cartridge is in the chamber both visually and haptically. The typical safety on the trigger blade remains. Also not visible, but only haptically noticeable, is the more defined trigger release compared to the previous model. This is supposed to have better corrosion and chemical resistance than conventional coatings or bluing. What's not noticeable at all, however, is the new coating of the slide, black as night and called Aquatech-Shield. However, the now evenly continuous front strap is provided with a very rough checkering, which fixes the fingers as if glued without forcing them into uncomfortable contours. While these may give most fingers better control when grasping the handle, some thick or thin fingers grip uncomfortably on top of rather than between the ridges. The omission of the finger grooves on the grip front strap is more for practical reasons. And because good design usually comes from Italy. Does anyone now wonder why something so grippy should be in this place? Quite simply: because it fits better in terms of design. On the other hand, two small parallelograms matching the texture of the grip scales provide trigger finger index reference points. For example, the trigger guard has prominent "bumps": in contrast to the smooth predecessor profile, it is grooved on the front. Afterwards, with a now sharpened eye for small differences, further details or even design changes become clear. At second glance, the now slanted instead of straight slide serrations catch the eye. A quite long free area of 50.5 mm in length offers enough space even for large red dot sights. The most striking thing about the "new" pistol first: A1 can also be synonymous with OR, i.e. Disassembly picture reveals the unusually long guide of the slide through the
