To update everyone - I bought a Beretta APX Centurion today. Got it for under $400 at Scheels. Also found 150 rounds of 9mm between Scheels and Fleet Farm, so I'm all set to go see what this thing can do tomorrow.
Congratulations. Can't say I'm familiar with the Beretta, but the tech details and price sure look good.
I'm looking forward to your range report. Let us know what you think.
