I've got a compact model. Picked it up about a year ago when Beretta had a $100 Visa card rebate. With the rebate, my total was just over $275 with the FFL transfer. I'm not a huge fan of striker fired pistols, but I do like the APX more than the couple of Glocks I own. The nice thing about the compact model is you can also switch to the midsized grip. Also, Beretta sells mag adapters that let you use the midsize and fullsize mags on the compact. The midsize mag shown is actually using an adapater that is for going from the fullsize mag to the midsize, but it works fine for the midsize to compact as well.
