Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Beretta Pistols In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Beretta’s pistols fall into a few distinct families. Here is how to pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Striker Or Hammer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The APX family is striker fired, with a consistent pull every shot. The PX4 Storm, 80X Cheetah, 20X Bobcat, and Tomcat are double action\/single action hammer guns. DA\/SA means a long, heavy first pull and lighter follow-ups. Our PX4 measured 8.5 pounds double action and 4.5 pounds single action. If DA\/SA appeals to you, our DA\/SA subcompacts<\/a> guide covers rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere Is The Beretta 92?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The 92 is the most famous Beretta pistol, and it deserves its own guide. If you want an all-steel 92FS, an M9A4, a compact 92, or a 92X Performance, go to our best Beretta 92 pistols roundup. The pistols below are for shooters who want something smaller, lighter, cheaper, or newer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Size And Capacity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The APX A1 Compact and Comp Tac hold 15 rounds. The APX Carry and Nano are slim single stacks holding 6 or more rounds. The 80X Cheetah holds 13 rounds of .380 ACP in a mid-size frame. The 20X and Tomcat are true pocket guns. Match the size to how you will carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip-Up Barrels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The 20X Bobcat and Tomcat use Beretta’s tip-up barrel, which lets you load the chamber without racking the slide. That helps shooters with weak hands. The tradeoff is that they have no extractor, so malfunctions are complicated and slow to clear. The 80X does have an extractor, which our reviewer counted as a big advantage over tip-up designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optics Ready<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The APX A1 Compact, APX A1 Comp Tac, and 80X Cheetah have optics-ready slides. Beretta offered five optic kit options for the APX A1 Compact. Our APX full-size and compact field test<\/a> also covered the earlier APX RDO, which listed at $725 with mounting plates in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPrice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Beretta’s modern pistols are priced lower than many expect. The APX A1 Compact listed at $449 and the APX A1 Comp Tac at $550 at the time of review in 2024. The PX4 Storm in .40 S&W listed at $650 in 2016. The Nano listed at $475 with street prices near $400 in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Beretta Pistols Ranked: 2026 Product Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBeretta APX A1 Compact: Best Overall Beretta Pistol (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta APX A1 Compact is the best overall Beretta pistol because it gives you a reliable, optics-ready 9mm for an MSRP of $449 at the time of review. It has a 3.7 inch barrel, a 6.9 inch overall length, and weighs 27.7 ounces. It takes 10 or 15-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta APX A1 Compact review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer found it highly reliable, with minimal malfunctions or failures to feed, fire, or eject. It has a red fiber optic front sight, extended frame stippling, and an Aqua Tech Shield coating for corrosion resistance. He called it a top-tier handgun for concealed carry and personal defense.

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta APX A1 Compact Tactical: Best Beretta For Suppressors And Lights (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta APX A1 Compact Tactical is the best Beretta for suppressors and lights because it adds a 4.2 inch barrel threaded 1\/2×28 to the APX A1 Compact formula. It ships with three 15-round stamped steel magazines, and spares cost around $25 at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta APX A1 Comp Tac review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer put about 350 rounds through it, including Federal Syntech, Federal Punch hollow points, PMC, and Blazer, without a single malfunction. He paired it with a Streamlight TLR-7 and called it a pretty good buy at its $550 MSRP at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 15 rounds (three magazines included)<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 4.2 in, threaded 1\/2×28<\/li>\n
- Reliability: no malfunctions in about 350 rounds<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $550 at the time of review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Threaded barrel<\/li>\n
- Three magazines included<\/li>\n
- Zero malfunctions in testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Magazine followers felt loose<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 80X Cheetah: Best Beretta .380 (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 80X Cheetah is the best Beretta .380 because it modernizes the Cheetah line, built from 1976 to 2017, with an optics-ready slide and a 13-round double-stack magazine. It is a straight blowback DA\/SA pistol with a 3.9 inch barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 80X vs Girsan MC14T review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer shot it against the Girsan MC14T. He had zero failures with either gun, and the Beretta was slightly tighter at 15 yards and more accurate at longer ranges. Unlike tip-up designs, the 80X has an extractor and ejector, so a tap-rack-bang clears a malfunction. He called it the better firearm, though it costs more. See our best .380 ACP pistols<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: .380 ACP<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 13 rounds<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 3.9 in<\/li>\n
- Action: DA\/SA straight blowback<\/li>\n
- Price: check current listings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Optics ready<\/li>\n
- Zero failures in testing<\/li>\n
- Easy malfunction clearing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Pricier than the Girsan<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta PX4 Storm: Best Beretta DA\/SA Duty Pistol (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta PX4 Storm is the best Beretta DA\/SA duty pistol if you want hammer-fired control without the weight of a 92. Our reviewer tested the full-size .40 S&W version. It weighs 27.7 ounces and was offered in 17, 14, or 9 rounds plus one depending on caliber. MSRP was $650 at the time of review in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta PX4 Storm review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe measured the double-action pull at 8.5 pounds and single action at 4.5 pounds. He was still waiting on his first part failure and was running the original factory springs. He said the .40 was surprisingly controllable, but if he bought again he would choose the 9mm for three more rounds and less recoil. See our best home defense handguns<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: .40 S&W (as tested), also 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 17, 14 or 9 rounds +1 depending on caliber<\/li>\n
- Weight: 27.7 oz<\/li>\n
- Trigger: 8.5 lb DA, 4.5 lb SA measured<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $650 at the time of review (2016)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Soft shooting rotating barrel<\/li>\n
- Durable<\/li>\n
- Safety and decocker on F model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Heavy double-action pull<\/li>\n
- Not optics ready in the tested version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta APX Carry: Best Beretta Single-Stack Carry Gun (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta APX Carry is the best Beretta single-stack carry gun because it is slim, tough, and simple. Beretta kept controls from sticking out, and our reviewer counted the external slide stop as a key feature for a carry gun, since you can lock the slide back without stripping a magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta APX Carry review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe measured the trigger at almost exactly 6 pounds. From a rest at 12 yards, he averaged just over 2 inches for four five-shot groups, and offhand he kept shots in about 4 inches at 8 yards. He had one malfunction where the slide did not lock open after the last shot, and he could not repeat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Type: single-stack subcompact<\/li>\n
- Trigger: about 6 lb measured<\/li>\n
- Accuracy: just over 2 in at 12 yd from a rest<\/li>\n
- Price: check current listings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Slim and snag free<\/li>\n
- External slide stop<\/li>\n
- Accurate for its size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Long, heavy trigger<\/li>\n
- One unrepeatable malfunction in testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 20X Bobcat: Best Beretta .22 Pocket Pistol (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 20X Bobcat is the best Beretta .22 pocket pistol because it fixes most of the old 21A’s reliability drama. Our reviewer owns two 21As and said neither is reliable enough for defensive use. The 20X proved extremely reliable after a break-in of 150 to 200 rounds, with a few light strikes and failures to cycle inside that window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 20X vs 21A Bobcat review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt has better sights and a much lighter, shorter trigger. At 25 yards, he could put a magazine of .22 LR into a target’s chest. It is 1.3 inches wide and 4.3 inches tall, a bit bigger than the 21A. The tip-up barrel makes loading easy. For more small guns, see our best pocket pistols<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: .22 LR<\/li>\n
- Action: DA\/SA, tip-up barrel<\/li>\n
- Width: 1.3 in<\/li>\n
- Height: 4.3 in (about 4.5 in with extended baseplate)<\/li>\n
- Price: check current listings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Much more reliable than the 21A after break-in<\/li>\n
- Better sights and trigger<\/li>\n
- Easy to load<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Needs a 150 to 200 round break-in<\/li>\n
- No extractor, slow malfunction clearing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta Nano: Best Beretta For Deep Concealment (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta Nano is the best Beretta for deep concealment if you want a clean, lever-free micro 9mm. It holds 6+1 rounds in stainless steel magazines and weighs about 20 ounces unloaded, which our reviewer said helps tame recoil. MSRP was $475 with street prices near $400 at the time of review in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta Nano review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHis review gun broke its recoil spring guide rod after about 100 rounds. He sent it back anonymously like a regular customer, and the Nano performed flawlessly after the warranty repair. He said it fit his concept of a deep concealment pistol exactly. It is an older design now, so look for used ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 6+1<\/li>\n
- Weight: about 20 oz unloaded<\/li>\n
- Action: striker fired<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $475 (about $400 street) at the time of review (2013)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Snag-free design<\/li>\n
- Mild recoil for its size<\/li>\n
- Flawless after repair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Guide rod broke at about 100 rounds<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 3032 Tomcat: Best Beretta .32 For Collectors (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 3032 Tomcat is the best Beretta .32 for collectors and fans of odd little guns. It is a micro DA\/SA pistol with a 2.4 inch barrel, a 4.92 inch overall length, and a weight of 14.5 ounces. The tip-up barrel makes loading the chamber easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta Tomcat review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer likes it but would not recommend it to most shooters. He had one failure to extract, which caused a type two malfunction, and he noted hot .32 ACP loads can break the gun. It is 1.1 inches wide, wider than some 9mm micros that hold more. Beretta has since released the redesigned 30X Tomcat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: .32 ACP<\/li>\n
- Barrel: 2.4 in<\/li>\n
- Overall length: 4.92 in<\/li>\n

Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Ammo sensitive; hot loads can damage it<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts On The Best Beretta Pistols Of 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The best Beretta pistol for most shooters, outside the 92 family, is the APX A1 Compact. It is reliable, optics ready, and listed at $449 at the time of review. The APX A1 Compact Tactical is the suppressor and light host, the 80X Cheetah is the best .380, and the PX4 Storm is the DA\/SA duty gun. The APX Carry is the slim carry gun, the 20X Bobcat is the .22 pocket gun, the Nano is the deep concealment classic, and the Tomcat is for collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Beretta Pistols In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Beretta’s pistols fall into a few distinct families. Here is how to pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Striker Or Hammer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The APX family is striker fired, with a consistent pull every shot. The PX4 Storm, 80X Cheetah, 20X Bobcat, and Tomcat are double action\/single action hammer guns. DA\/SA means a long, heavy first pull and lighter follow-ups. Our PX4 measured 8.5 pounds double action and 4.5 pounds single action. If DA\/SA appeals to you, our DA\/SA subcompacts<\/a> guide covers rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where Is The Beretta 92?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The 92 is the most famous Beretta pistol, and it deserves its own guide. If you want an all-steel 92FS, an M9A4, a compact 92, or a 92X Performance, go to our best Beretta 92 pistols roundup. The pistols below are for shooters who want something smaller, lighter, cheaper, or newer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Size And Capacity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The APX A1 Compact and Comp Tac hold 15 rounds. The APX Carry and Nano are slim single stacks holding 6 or more rounds. The 80X Cheetah holds 13 rounds of .380 ACP in a mid-size frame. The 20X and Tomcat are true pocket guns. Match the size to how you will carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip-Up Barrels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The 20X Bobcat and Tomcat use Beretta’s tip-up barrel, which lets you load the chamber without racking the slide. That helps shooters with weak hands. The tradeoff is that they have no extractor, so malfunctions are complicated and slow to clear. The 80X does have an extractor, which our reviewer counted as a big advantage over tip-up designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optics Ready<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The APX A1 Compact, APX A1 Comp Tac, and 80X Cheetah have optics-ready slides. Beretta offered five optic kit options for the APX A1 Compact. Our APX full-size and compact field test<\/a> also covered the earlier APX RDO, which listed at $725 with mounting plates in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Beretta’s modern pistols are priced lower than many expect. The APX A1 Compact listed at $449 and the APX A1 Comp Tac at $550 at the time of review in 2024. The PX4 Storm in .40 S&W listed at $650 in 2016. The Nano listed at $475 with street prices near $400 in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Beretta Pistols Ranked: 2026 Product Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Beretta APX A1 Compact: Best Overall Beretta Pistol (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta APX A1 Compact is the best overall Beretta pistol because it gives you a reliable, optics-ready 9mm for an MSRP of $449 at the time of review. It has a 3.7 inch barrel, a 6.9 inch overall length, and weighs 27.7 ounces. It takes 10 or 15-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta APX A1 Compact review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer found it highly reliable, with minimal malfunctions or failures to feed, fire, or eject. It has a red fiber optic front sight, extended frame stippling, and an Aqua Tech Shield coating for corrosion resistance. He called it a top-tier handgun for concealed carry and personal defense. See our best concealed carry handguns<\/a> guide for rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta APX A1 Compact Tactical: Best Beretta For Suppressors And Lights (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta APX A1 Compact Tactical is the best Beretta for suppressors and lights because it adds a 4.2 inch barrel threaded 1\/2×28 to the APX A1 Compact formula. It ships with three 15-round stamped steel magazines, and spares cost around $25 at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta APX A1 Comp Tac review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer put about 350 rounds through it, including Federal Syntech, Federal Punch hollow points, PMC, and Blazer, without a single malfunction. He paired it with a Streamlight TLR-7 and called it a pretty good buy at its $550 MSRP at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta 80X Cheetah: Best Beretta .380 (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta 80X Cheetah is the best Beretta .380 because it modernizes the Cheetah line, built from 1976 to 2017, with an optics-ready slide and a 13-round double-stack magazine. It is a straight blowback DA\/SA pistol with a 3.9 inch barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 80X vs Girsan MC14T review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer shot it against the Girsan MC14T. He had zero failures with either gun, and the Beretta was slightly tighter at 15 yards and more accurate at longer ranges. Unlike tip-up designs, the 80X has an extractor and ejector, so a tap-rack-bang clears a malfunction. He called it the better firearm, though it costs more. See our best .380 ACP pistols<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeretta PX4 Storm: Best Beretta DA\/SA Duty Pistol (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Beretta PX4 Storm is the best Beretta DA\/SA duty pistol if you want hammer-fired control without the weight of a 92. Our reviewer tested the full-size .40 S&W version. It weighs 27.7 ounces and was offered in 17, 14, or 9 rounds plus one depending on caliber. MSRP was $650 at the time of review in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta PX4 Storm review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He measured the double-action pull at 8.5 pounds and single action at 4.5 pounds. He was still waiting on his first part failure and was running the original factory springs. He said the .40 was surprisingly controllable, but if he bought again he would choose the 9mm for three more rounds and less recoil. See our best home defense handguns<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Caliber: .40 S&W (as tested), also 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 17, 14 or 9 rounds +1 depending on caliber<\/li>\n

- Trigger: 8.5 lb DA, 4.5 lb SA measured<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $650 at the time of review (2016)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Soft shooting rotating barrel<\/li>\n
- Durable<\/li>\n
- Safety and decocker on F model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta APX Carry is the best Beretta single-stack carry gun because it is slim, tough, and simple. Beretta kept controls from sticking out, and our reviewer counted the external slide stop as a key feature for a carry gun, since you can lock the slide back without stripping a magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta APX Carry review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He measured the trigger at almost exactly 6 pounds. From a rest at 12 yards, he averaged just over 2 inches for four five-shot groups, and offhand he kept shots in about 4 inches at 8 yards. He had one malfunction where the slide did not lock open after the last shot, and he could not repeat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta 20X Bobcat is the best Beretta .22 pocket pistol because it fixes most of the old 21A’s reliability drama. Our reviewer owns two 21As and said neither is reliable enough for defensive use. The 20X proved extremely reliable after a break-in of 150 to 200 rounds, with a few light strikes and failures to cycle inside that window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta 20X vs 21A Bobcat review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has better sights and a much lighter, shorter trigger. At 25 yards, he could put a magazine of .22 LR into a target’s chest. It is 1.3 inches wide and 4.3 inches tall, a bit bigger than the 21A. The tip-up barrel makes loading easy. For more small guns, see our best pocket pistols<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Caliber: .22 LR<\/li>\n

- Width: 1.3 in<\/li>\n

Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Much more reliable than the 21A after break-in<\/li>\n
- Better sights and trigger<\/li>\n
- Easy to load<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Beretta Nano is the best Beretta for deep concealment if you want a clean, lever-free micro 9mm. It holds 6+1 rounds in stainless steel magazines and weighs about 20 ounces unloaded, which our reviewer said helps tame recoil. MSRP was $475 with street prices near $400 at the time of review in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta Nano review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His review gun broke its recoil spring guide rod after about 100 rounds. He sent it back anonymously like a regular customer, and the Nano performed flawlessly after the warranty repair. He said it fit his concept of a deep concealment pistol exactly. It is an older design now, so look for used ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Caliber: 9mm<\/li>\n
- Capacity: 6+1<\/li>\n
- Weight: about 20 oz unloaded<\/li>\n
- Action: striker fired<\/li>\n
- MSRP: $475 (about $400 street) at the time of review (2013)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Snag-free design<\/li>\n
- Mild recoil for its size<\/li>\n
- Flawless after repair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Guide rod broke at about 100 rounds<\/li>\n

The Beretta 3032 Tomcat is the best Beretta .32 for collectors and fans of odd little guns. It is a micro DA\/SA pistol with a 2.4 inch barrel, a 4.92 inch overall length, and a weight of 14.5 ounces. The tip-up barrel makes loading the chamber easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Beretta Tomcat review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our reviewer likes it but would not recommend it to most shooters. He had one failure to extract, which caused a type two malfunction, and he noted hot .32 ACP loads can break the gun. It is 1.1 inches wide, wider than some 9mm micros that hold more. Beretta has since released the redesigned 30X Tomcat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best Beretta pistol for most shooters, outside the 92 family, is the APX A1 Compact. It is reliable, optics ready, and listed at $449 at the time of review. The APX A1 Compact Tactical is the suppressor and light host, the 80X Cheetah is the best .380, and the PX4 Storm is the DA\/SA duty gun. The APX Carry is the slim carry gun, the 20X Bobcat is the .22 pocket gun, the Nano is the deep concealment classic, and the Tomcat is for collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
