I find myself in a similar boat. Having carried daily for about 2 years almost completely getting away from it for a number of years to just in the last few months getting a full size gun cabinet, new concealed carry permit and a firearm I’m confident is using in any scenario I can dream up. Feels like all Americans are likely to be exposed to more violence in the near future. Whether that’s just economic strife forcing people to resort to violence for their needs, politically directed violence or just dangerous people feeling emboldened to act. The last gap I needed to fill was a micro-compact I could carry without my kids constantly seeing a pistol on my body.

I certainly impulse bought this one based on the price and having a mostly positive impression of Berettas.

Very nice. From what I’ve read the APX A1 Carry and the original APX are almost not related at this point. How long have you had the APX?

That makes sense. It was a cool little gun while it worked. Thanks for your reply.

Very groovy. Thank you.

Good to know. Thank you

Excellent information. Thank you.

Right on. Thank you for the information.

Word. Great resource. Thank you.

Where do you suggest?

Training in the real plates will risk degrading their integrity pretty quickly then?

Excellent, thank you very much for your input. You pretty much covered all my bases.

I know it feels useless and tedious writing your representatives about why gun ownership rights are important to you but it is a necessary thing to do. Right now these officials are assuming the people who care about gun ownership rights are already not a reachable voting block. Being vocal about this to anyone you are eligible to vote for can help them remember there are votes to be won with that issue.
