The AP5-P Navy sits at the compact end of Century's AP5 lineup, and owners like that it keeps the roller-delayed feel of the larger gun in a smaller, easier-to-carry package. The stamped steel receiver draws mixed comments: most owners find it solid, though a few note some finish inconsistency between individual pistols.

Ergonomics benefit from the shorter length. The ambidextrous safety selector and synthetic grip make the AP5-P comfortable to run one-handed, and the threaded barrel makes adding a suppressor or muzzle device straightforward. Some owners feel the compact barrel gives up a bit of the softer recoil impulse the longer-barreled AP5 models are known for.

Value is generally rated well, since the AP5-P Navy comes brace-ready and includes sights and a muzzle device out of the box. The most common complaint is availability of spare parts and magazines compared to more established 9mm pistol platforms.
