Kimidori's KSC Beretta APX Review

A close look at the KSC Beretta APX gas blowback airsoft pistol by Kimidori. This is a modern polymer-frame handgun designed to compete with the likes of Glock and he starts on a slightly somber note, explaining that they had to re-record the entire video because a cheap SD card corrupted the first attempt. Despite the technical mishap, the review dives into the unboxing, noting that the packaging is shared with the Taiwanese manufacturer KWA, though KSC has adjusted the internals for the Japanese market.

Kimidori examines the exterior, highlighting the unique serrations on the slide and the ergonomic grip, which feels thinner than a Glock. Whilst the gun looks the part, a few practical quirks are mentioned, such as the lack of reinforcement on the slide stop—meaning repeated use might wear down the plastic. Additionally, the hop-up adjustment requires taking the slide off, which is a bit of a chore for anyone looking to make quick tweaks during a game.

On the range, the APX performs reliably with a snappy slide action, especially once a red dot sight is mounted using the included plates. The muzzle velocity sits comfortably around 75 m/s, and the accuracy is decent, grouped within about 4cm at a 5-meter distance. While it might not have the heavy kick of some competitors, it is a solid alternative for airsoft players who want to stand out from the sea of Glocks at their local field.
