Yup, I want one of those "Gen 2" models as well. My APX Compact (the midsized version) may be ugly, but man it sure shoots well.

The new version looks better. I already tried the original Centurion model, though. It was reliable, but I didn't like the grip that much. In order to not shoot left - I had to put the largest backstrap on. That solved my issue, but the grip was no longer comfortable.

Many people online have complained about the same issue - and the large backstrap fixed it for them as well. But, I have smaller hands.

Once I got my Gen 5 G19, I found that I preferred the Glock over the APX. So, I sold the APX.

Well, I wear size XL gloves, so my hand seems to fit my APX perfectly. I really like how the ole girl fills my hand, and no problem getting the first joint of the trigger finger, directly over the center of the trigger.

Well I took the plunge and bought one - had it out at the range last weekend, side by side with my cohorts PDP 4” - ran 350 rounds of four different brands/types of ammo through it without a hitch. We both agreed, this is a very sweet pistol, and a serious tack driver.

now if I can just wade through the optics/plate nightmare, I’ll be way happy!

Thank you, Sir! Now I should point out that this was at the 7 yard line, so it wasn’t an Olympian shot or anything… 🤣
