Shoot it like you would shoot if attacked and not like a target pistol and I'm sure the trigger will be acceptable. Most people complain about triggers when they are trying to sight in or shoot tight groups. The best way to see how it will be when you have to use it is to either draw and fire or start from a low ready and aim and fire.We’ll, picked it up out of jail today. First impression was what happened to the hard plastic cases, new gun came in a cardboard box. I guess supply chain shortages, saving the planet, or saving money. Anyway, not really an issue, for the pistol itself, seems really nice for the price. My main comparison is next to my Ruger LC9s. The APX is a little wider, and has way more aggressive grip texturing. Almost like 60 grit sandpaper. I do like the grip and feel of it more than the LC9s. However, the LC9 has a way better trigger. The Beretta does have a heavier and not as crisp trigger.
As for the rebate, it was an online form which was simple to fill out. My only concern is in the fine print it states they need a clear copy of the original purchase receipt with the S/N listed. I put my transfer receipt which has the S/N scanned with my email receipt, so hopefully that suffices. Easy process, hopefully the check is here in 8-12weeks. If it plays out, I’m really happy with the purchase.
Hoping to get to the range next week and put it through the paces.
P.S. My first Maryland purchase. I find it a little interesting that the email from MSP states “You’re not dis-approved” instead a simple approved.
That’s my plan! I think I may like it more than the LC9 mainly for the larger grip and texture and slide serrations. I have never noticed trigger pull when under pressure, and I’ve shot some very terrible ones just fine. If it’s the only complaint I have then I’ll be really happy. But I’ll know for sure next week.Shoot it like you would shoot if attacked and not like a target pistol and I'm sure the trigger will be acceptable.

This was my first Maryland purchase. My understanding is that regular long guns can be bought same day, but what Maryland considers “restricted” firearms, (handguns), there is a 7 day waiting period from purchase to pickup.
I’m excited to get it to the range to compare with the Ruger.
