My father-in-law has the CPX 3 and I will say, it has almost no felt recoil when shooting and the slide is incredibly easy to rack, as compared to other 380's or SCCY's own CPX 2 9mm, which is a lot stiffer.
SCCY will replace magazines free of charge as part of their lifetime warranty. I absolutely love their customer service and my CPX2. Only malfunctions I’ve had have been ammo or bad magazine related.
I agree...just went through magazine replacement from SCCY. The only thing I don't like about that is they have been making the CPX1/2 for a long time, my wife and I both have CPX 2's made in late 2018. I feel like they should already have the new mags and a call/replacement shouldn't have been necessary. Otherwise, it's a little snappy but I just seem to like shooting it...even over other higher priced guns I have.
I was going to get one of these pistols, but opted for the LCP instead. I still may get one later. Some of my favorite pistols, I bought at a budget price. Out of all my .380s, I'm liking my Bersa Thunder CC the best.
I love firearms ! I trade and buy and repair my own . This is a pistol that anyone can break down and clean not to mention the quality ! A price that is in reach of everyone out there!
I had problems reassembling my CPX2 after cleaning; the slide would stop before fully on the rails, it would stop with a metallic clunk like it was hitting the ejector. I called service and without much discussion they sent me a new slide and told me to send the old one back. Put it together and it worked fine. A+ service to me. I have wondered why they went from 10 rounds of 9mm to 10 rounds of .380.
My daughter has the Gen. 2, 9mm version. The recoil spring on that little gun is a beast! It is a good gun, and their warranty is the best on the market! (I just don't like the small grip for my large hands. If they made longer mags w/ grip extensions, i'd get one )
@@GBGuns if you can find me one for 150.00 lead me to it . Cause every one I've seen is 279.00 and more . I need you to take me with you and get it for 150.00. I have never and I mean never seen one for 150.00. No were.
I recently bought two CPX 2's, one for my wife and one for me. She has a Ruger LC9s, but felt the grip was a little thin and she couldn't get a good purchase on it. These were inexpensive and they work, after receiving 4 new mags (2 each) from SCCY. Apparently they changed the design of the feed lips, allowing the follower to come completely to the top of the mag, eliminating the nose diving issue I was having. Mine might end up being a test bed gun for things like the Galloway Precision short stroke trigger & hammer kit. Wish I could find decent sights for these, as the stock sights are basic, but quality sights would really make a difference.
Did they make the frame pins better? Cpx2 i own had problems with the pins sliding out after a good 200 rounds ran through it, plus that long ass trigger pull reminds me of a revolver.
6 mos after I bought the SCCY CPX2 9mm, they came out with the CPX3 .380. I'd much rather have the .380 version of this pistol. The 9mm is a bit too snappy for me.
I had one of these in 9mm blow up in my hand. It was my buddies. We were out messing around. He was shooting it all day. Hands it to me, first trigger pull, boom. The slide broke in half and fell off the gun. I’ll pass. Sccy sent him a brand new one though. So that’s pretty cool.
Graham Baates yea we heavily considered a supercharged load. But it didn’t sound “off” to my recollection. When we collected the 2 pieces of the slide we noticed cracking beyond where it broke. Like there were more spider webs stemming from the actual break. Weird. I don’t think it was necessarily anything on sccy but it did put a sour taste in my mouth.
your buddy and you are both idiots who shouldnt own guns. You mentioned you were "Out messing around" very unwise to mess around with a gun. Your boyfriend probably had a squib stuck in the barrel and thats why it blew up. A squibbed bullet will blow up any pistol including a Glock or SIG.
looks like I'm staying with my cpx-2, I have yet to be impressed with .380... I just wish we could get a hammer-fired subcompact with a 10 or more round capacity chambered in .40 from sccy,

Love my EDC CPX3! Wouldn't trade it for any Glock or Smith! Accurate, nice smooth trigger, just an all around great shooter! Good review sir!
The slide on this thing feels amazing

I've got an entire playlist of them.

I have 2 9mm CPX-2s. IMHO, the .380 might be a better choice because in 9mm they are pretty snappy. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely on my short list! Thank you.

So Graham, which 380 do you prefer: with or without the safety? Thanks.
Im a Bersa fan, but it's really hard to beat a decent gun with ten rnd mags @ ~$150... 😲

Primus in the intro! Subscribed!
Witch gun would you rather have at the same price. The cpx 2 or the cpx 3
I really do like this gun 🔫 🙂 ☺
Thanks GB. Great job. Good info.
I still have the first gun skky before they had to change the name. I love there guns not bad guns at all
zack collier what were they called before sccy?

The 380s are a lot gentler to shoot.

I wonder have is compares to the new SCCY CPX-4...?
We have one of those in too. The 4 features a manual safety.
nice
Do they make this in other calibers? Thanks.
A range comparison vs Bersa Thunder 380 Plus, pleeese.
As an owner of a Bersa 380 plus and not cpx my view point is probably partially skewed, but my thunder plus is a lazer shooter
I think they would compare very favorably. The SCCY is very accurate, and feels great in the hand when shooting. It really is a nice gun for $200.
i think i will keep my taurus spectra 380 just me
Is this about the same racking the slide as a s&w ez .380?
Maybe

kal tec pf11 is a small almost subcompact gun with a hammer that holds ten rounds of 9mm
What happened to the .380? Nowhere to be found. 👍😎
They stopped production to keep up with 9mm demand. It's not discontinued,just out of production while they knock out more 9mm
@@GBGuns Thanks for the update. 👍😎
I have never met any one to have one or the 9mm tbh
Not a knock on this gun but in my opinion this is designed for a woman's hand. My wife enjoys the feel as compared to the P365 9MM
Your opinion is stupid. Ive never ever heard of a firearm being designed for a "Woman".
Not a fan of needing some tool , even a cartridge to field strip . Not in 2020 , no call for this in design .
You can use your fingernail.
