Umarex Beretta APX RDO - FDE

 This Umarex Beretta APX RDO – FDE airsoft replica is a one-to-one copy of the firearm designed by Beretta for armed forces and law enforcement personnel. Their priority was to design a firearm that was reliable, durable and ergonomic. The APX -which stands for Advanced Pistol X- is a comfortable replica that’s made of impact-resistant polymer finished with a non-slip coating. The acronym RDO stands for Red Dot Optic. This means there’s a removable plate on the rear of the slide, which can be replaced with an adapter plate for mounting a red dot. Fitting adapter plates are those for red dots by Docter, Trijicon and C-More. If you don’t want to use a red dot for whatever reason, you can use the rear sight and the -windage adjustable- front sight for aiming.

Considering this replica is based on a firearm that was originally designed for armed forces and law enforcement personnel, you can be assured of a user-friendly replica. There are deep grooves along both sides of the slide, which allow you to pull it back easily, even if you’re wearing gloves. The trigger safety means the Umarex Beretta APX RDO – FDE airsoft replica can be drawn and fired in one smooth motion. No need to fiddle with manual safeties; it’s ready to be fired straight away. The airsoft replica shoots 6 mm BBs and it comes supplied with a magazine with a capacity of 22 BBs. That magazine has a follower that can be pulled down manually, to allow for easy loading.

The Umarex Beretta APX RDO – FDE replica has a convincing recoil, further adding to its sense of realism. There’s a Weaver/Picatinny accessory rail located on the bottom of the fore-end and it can be used to mount something like a lamp or a laser. The grip is slightly pre-moulded and there’s mild texturing along both sides for some added grip. Even though the magazine pin is located on the left side of the frame out of the box, it can be reversed. This allows both left-handed and right-handed airsofters to use the replica comfortably. Removing the slide allows access to the adjustable hop-up, granting some control over the replica’s accurate range. The outer barrel has M11 internal thread, so you can mount something like a tracer unit.
