Unlike other Beretta pistols, the APX uses the traditional Browning tilting-barrel short recoil design. As specified in the MHS specification, the APX also features a MIL-STD-1913 rail under the front of the frame. The distance from the axis of the barrel to the top of the handgrip has been kept to a minimum of 21 mm (0.83 in) in order to reduce muzzle rise, which increases the ability to accurately fire quick follow-up shots. The APX supports this with replaceable grip straps. In order to comply with the MHS specification, the firearms must support different grip sizes to fit shooters of different stature. The name APX refers to "Advanced Pistol X" (the "X" referring to a caliber of choice), as the firearm is fully modular and can change calibers and frame sizes somewhat easily. The Beretta APX represents Beretta's first striker-fired duty-sized handgun. The slide is red dot optic ready and features more aggressive slide serrations and Beretta's "Aqua Tech Shield" finish, alongside a newly designed frame with more aggressive stippling, a higher, undercut trigger guard, an enhanced beavertail and no finger grooves. In May 2022, Beretta announced the APX A1, an ergonomically improved standard APX designed by Giovanni Prandini. The APX Target trigger is half a pound (~2.2 N) lighter than a standard model and a shorter reset. The frame also features an extended magazine release and slide stop, as well as a green striker guide for a competition trigger. In addition to the changes to the slide and barrel, the frame also has no finger grooves to better suit the needs of competition shooters. The slide also has a mounting plate for optics and the sights have been changed to a fiber-optic front sight and a blacked out rear sight. Finally, the APX Target was introduced, which is a competition variant of the APX with a longer slide and barrel these are fitted to each other at the factory to ensure greater accuracy. The Centurion Combat was also introduced, which features a threaded barrel and mounting plate, just like the full sized APX Combat. In July of that year, Beretta introduced three more designs, starting with flat dark earth variants of the Centurion and Compact models. The APX Carry is based on the Beretta Nano design with some features incorporated from the full sized APX. In April 2019, Beretta introduced the APX Carry, a single stack magazine variant intended for the concealed carry market. In 2018, three variants of the APX were announced: the APX Centurion, with a slightly smaller frame, slide and barrel, and the APX Compact, with a subcompact-sized frame, slide and barrel, and the APX Combat, with a threaded barrel and a mounting plate for optics on the slide. On February 28, 2017, Beretta USA announced the APX availability for the US civilian market starting on April 15, 2017.

Beretta had offered to provide their M9A3 model at a reduced price as a continuance of M9 procurement program, but were informed that the changes to the M9A3 were so significant that it fell outside the scope of an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP), and that the United States Department of Defense preferred to go through a new procurement instead.
