If y’all didn’t know already, the SCCY warranty also covers the magazines. No questions asked (in my experience). They mailed me a new mag and a prepaid envelope to mail the bad one back to them. Easy.
It doesn't get any better than that.
.380's are really fun to shoot... In the right gun. I've got a couple mouse guns that are just about any and everything but fun. This would be a nice little EDC or "church gun". Maybe even tuck it in the utility draw in the kitchen. For the price it's just about unbeatable. Great job GB and Teya.
Great video, thank you. I was on the fence about the SCCY .380 but not after this. I personally don't mind a CCW with a safety and I think what you did by verbally reminding yourself "safety on", "safety off", is a great way to train until it becomes reflex.
SCCY's FAQ specifically says "Most name-brand brass cased ammo can be used. Do not use Steel Cased, Aluminum Cased, or reloads. Standard grain (bullet weight): 115 and 124, and 147 in Gen 2"
To reduce the Trigger from 9# to 4# remove the magazine take a long nose pair pull the spring out about 1 inches move back in place
Looks to have an improved shorter safety lever. I had a first generation 9mm that the safety would occasionally get bumped on in recoil. This was before they added the shelf below the safety to prevent that issue. I also lost the front sight during shooting. Called SCCY and they mailed me a new sight no problem in a timely manner. They seem to have pretty good customer service. Want to check out the new red dot pistols when they hit the market.
I've got too many guns as it is but this one's cheap enough, I might have to pick one up just for the hell of it. Good review.
Dam How does it feel to be rich bru
@@PARENTALADVISORYPODCAST You mean how does it feel to have too much credit card debt? Scary at times but no worries, I'm expecting a Powerball jackpot any day now...
This weapon is for close encounters of the 3rd kind or something like that. Dinner choices look 😋.
Yep, I got the teal, with stainless slide! It was about 20.00 less than the all black one! Saved a few bucks for the same gun, you bet!
@@dannydoughboy120 regardless of color as long as it works and delivers the goods.
I am still in search of the perfect fit EDC gun for the wife. I liked the double tap drill. The extra safety is perfect for her. I appreciate the sight input and look forward to your red dot version video. Great work and thank you.
I bought a GPX 3. It showed me that I have arthritis in my right hand. Very hard trigger pull. Don’t have any trouble using left hand. Actually fits in my Levi’s pocket and it was $169.00 new at Sportsmen’s WHSE 👌😁
I have this pistol in the CPX3 version. Love it!! I find the 8.5lb DAO trigger to be all the safety needed.
@@mrtraa2639 no...no magazine safety, and it's double strike capable.
Finally I got time to sit and watch your review! First off I enjoy your format that your doing! And Miss Teya (I hope I spelled that correctly slap me if I didn’t)! I actually liked the fact that you gave verbal on what you were doing on the drill. That is a good drill also that I think I’ll try to incorporate into my range time with my carry guns I use.
Thank you for ya’all’s time in taking to do this! And Graham I am still mad at you for making me buy so many guns! 😆😆🤪🤪😉
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback 😀
I have the CPX3 in a get home bag that has stayed in the car since the 2020 riots in my city. I have run 300 rounds of Aguila 95 grain fmj with no hiccups. As usual you two do great videos.
Love my CPX 3! Great review on the 4!
I have a S&W bodyguard 380 and it's a pleasure to pocket carry, but it's no fun to shoot at the range. It's dead on accurate, but it is snappy as hell. Since I do own a Ruger LCR 9mm revolver, I would say that the long heavy trigger pull is more like a revolver for guns like the SCCY CPX series and the Bodyguard 380. If you have gotten used to striker fired guns and you compare these hammer fired guns to them, you aren't going to like the long pull trigger. However, if you put in the time and train yourself to become used to the trigger you can shoot nice tight groups.
I love the size of my Bodyguard, but the safety is hard for my wife to use. Also having feedramp issues. Just bought the CPX-4 with safety, but it appears to be a lot larger than the Bodyguard. Pick it up tomorrow, so we’ll see how it runs and how concealable it is.
I think this is a cool little gun, *especially* @ $150 or so, otd.
Still, tho, if Im gonna CC a .380, think I'll stick with my Bersa Thunder. Has more bells & whistles, looks 'PPK-esque' lol, and has been uber reliable over 20 years of carry and range-time.
man do I know a lot of people who are happy with their Bersa Thunder for the money they spent on it.
@@realQuestion Depends on your priorities, really.
I love my Thunder's reliability, of course. But, I also love the safety/de-cocker, the mag-disconnect, the auto-chamber feature (when you slam a mag hard enough, the gun chambers a round, & yes, *its a feature* -- and it does "get you back into action faster" with training.)
The low price is definitely a plus, and the fact that it breaks down simply like a PPK/Makarov (blowback).
Also, its a very concealable little gun--there may be smaller & lighter .380s, these days. But the Thunder still hides pretty well, all things considered, especially with a good holster.
The flip side of all that, though, is that there are some people who can't live with some, or all of those features.
I don't understand it, but ok... lol
It sounds like an vinyl recording, with the rain.😉
The safety on the SCCY is pointless.
I like the double-tap drill.👍
I have an LCP2 380 but might trade up to the SCCY thanks for video
You'll be glad you did.
I love my CPX 3, EDC. Less recoil then the LCP2, and will be giving that one to the son for Christmas gift!
@@dannydoughboy120 oh if my boys had their permits they get my lcp2
@@dannydoughboy120 does your cpx3 fit same holster?
@@mikee3997 the CPX is a bit chunkier, not in a bad way though! I use the IWB " sticky holster", and if I were to add a padding of cloth in the bottom where the muzzle fits that would probably work. I did not have a specific holster for the LCP 2! Recoil is much lighter on the CPX 3. The trigger is a bit long however very smooth, and with only a few rounds through it, I was used to it. Unlike the Ruger, I did a lot more research on this pistol, than I did on the LCP! I would estimate the muzzle flip on the Ruger would be at about 2 inches, or more, on the SCCY, about 1 inch. Accuracy very good!
Great video, like the "SAFTEY ON SAFETY - SAFETY OFF" Good Training. Safety 1st.
And while evaluating a firearm we might as well experience full use
My buddy had a SCCY at the range yesterday, he calls it his range gun lol.
I use the internet or phone
@qū!et /yfe Most manufacturers do not sell direct. You'll need to find a vendor that has them or ask your local shop to order one.
@qū!et /yfe Firearms can't be shipped directly to you, they have to go through a local dealer, so even if you order online you've got to go to your local shop and that shop has to approve the transfer.
I reached out to Lakeline and also Dawson Precision to see if they'd be interested in developing better sights for the SCCY guns...they both responded that they'd look into it but I'm doubtful it'll go anywhere. It's a shame really, I know they're cheap but a good set of sights, even night sights, could make it even better. People will pay $500+ for any other gun and not blink about adding $175 night sights, but pay
@TOM ARCHER the companies that I reached out to, mentioned in my comment, never made the sights. They both responded that they would look into it and thats as fas as it ever went. I sold my CPX2 so I never pursued it. The new SCCY, the striker fired DVG-1, uses a Glock front and rear sight...if you can ever find a DVG-1 in stock at a gun store.
Will look at the cpx4 this week
I have a CPX-3 and I don’t have to worry about safeties when using .
No joke, you guys could film ASMR videos with the softer speaking and the light rain. Especially the "safety off" self-whispering.
Haha, usually people complain about the background noise. We film at a public range, we aren't rich and don't have property to shoot on, but we do keep it real!
My wife bought a CPX-4 and one thing I noticed with her pistol is that it throws brass from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock position with a couple pieces of brass hitting her in the face. She did experience a couple of failure to feeds and failure to ejects. This .380 is fun to shoot and very easy to rack. My wife also has the Walther PK380 and she likes her SCCY CPX-4 better.
Send the tool to M-CARBO THEY MAKE THIS TOOL A SWEET SHOOTING MACHINE AT DA @ 3.5 WITH THE TRIGGER PULL !!!
They have listed the trigger kit for the SCCY CPX-3 (same as CPX-4) for months as out of stock. The CPX-1 & CPX-2 are 9mm and aren't the same as the one for the CPX-3. I have contacted them a few times over the last several months and they have not been able to provide any estimated time when they would actually have them for sale. I want the CPX-4 for its safety, but would love to put a lighter trigger in it, still waiting for it to happen. Galloway has a spring kit and also a trigger kit, however they cost a fair amount more.
Good video. And thumbs up for toughing it out in the rain.
Thank you. We're in Oregon so rain is pretty much the norm.
Waited for this vid from u.
Thanks
TY alot 4 info !
Thank you for the review.
great review thank you.
CPX4 will be my next one.
Never heard a bump feed refered to as a "birthday bump". 😆
I had a hard time with the CPX-1 (as I mentioned in a prior thread) because the recoil was too harsh and the slide was so difficult to rack that I could barely manipulate it to view the chamber and most certainly couldn't rack it all the way back to chamber a round or disassemble it. I watched Armed and Feminine's review of the CPX-3 (I watch her channel fairly regularly) and from what I recall most of the women in that video who shot it said it was a decent pistol and Kelly herself specifically said she found it easy to rack, which caught my attention. Is the CPX-3 or CPX-4 worth considering for someone who may be considering a budget option that is easy to use?
Yes, and the .380 offering are very nice to shoot though the ammo costs more. See our video on how to rack any slide.
I think you can see a round in the chamber thru a crack like my Walther. My wife has a CPX-3 and I believe it's that way. Nope..take it back. Think I'm wrong. We just got it and my PPS M2. Was carrying a 38 snub, but switched.
Just saw your review on this SCCY 380, Great Video Thinking 🤔 of Making this My First HandGun For My CCW , Torn Between The SCCY And the GrandPower 380 That I saw in your Channel What’s your Advice on the Two ? 🤔
They are both great guns. I prefer the Grand Power's handling and trigger, but you'll find better holster options with the SCCY.
Graham's also got a good video on the Bersa Thunder .380-- my pick. Inexpensive, double/single action & de-cocker/safety.
Still, hard to beat 10 round mags, tho... Depends on your priorities...
Graham Baates , Thanks For your Input I appreciate your help, I will continue to Stay tuned into the Channel Great Channel I may Add
Brother check out Bersa thunder 380 plus I have 3 and they are super sweet to shoot. 15+1 is also sweet!!
Would have liked to see you run Buffalo Bore 380 hard cast 100 grain FN standard pressure ammo through it .
I'm not a big safety fan...my wife on the other hand (a more rookie shooter) enjoys safeties. That being said I decided to buy us cheap SCCY guns...thought it was going to be a CPX1 for her and a CPX2 for me, but after handling them in person, with the heavy and long trigger pull even she passed on the safety version. I now wish I would have gotten her the .380 version with the CPX3, as the 9mm recoil spring is a bit heavy and recoil is a little stout. I shoot a lot so I don't really notice or care, but definitely notices. I did install ribber Talon grips on both, as the plastic grip doesn't offer much traction.
@TOM ARCHER everything I wrote is English sir...if you can understand it that's a shame. It's pretty easy to understand...take a moment and re-read it...the post is regarding the CPX1 with a manual safety, vs the CPX2 without. The CPX2 had a heavy trigger, which was enough of a safety for my wife to be satisfied, without having an external safety lever.
Additionally, I also mentioned that the recoil from the lightweight 9mm is quite snappy and wish I would have purchased the .380acp CPX3 for my wife.
GB, Good review.
Does the gap between the extended mag and the body pinch your pinky finger? Some other reviewers are reporting that flaw.
How does the recoil compare to a Glock 42? Softer or harder? If price is no factor which would you prefer?
Softer recoil, more comfortable in the hand, and higher capacity. It's a no-brainer for me.
@@GBGuns thanks, enjoy your videos
great video
Thank you
Where can I get a cap like yours? Seriously.
Thank for the information that trigger pull looks painful
Not painful, or even that difficult if you just pull through. Trying to stage it or pull slowly as we do is however difficult.
@@GBGuns thanks brother I'm trying to decide between this and the ruger lcp for my we're both leaning towards the lcp max.
@@sharzan -- Both can be good guns; the main difference is price [the Max will set you back over $100 more], and the fact that 12-round mags are available for the Max.
Can you comment about the recoil of the different grain ammo in that same pistol? Does the lighter grain or heavier grain tend to have 'less' recoil?
Some of them can, but in exchange for a little more snap. Heavier loads tend to push a little more in recoil, but it's all very subjective and relates to the velocity created. Even the same load can feel different in guns with different barrel lengths and overall weights. I know this isn't a definitive answer, but I don't think there is one.
Onde eu compro no Brasil?
Those magazines leave something to be desired. Rounds routinely nose dive too
Did you all have any problems with the gun ejecting shells out directly at you? I just put 50 rounds through my new CPX-4, and while it fired all rounds without malfunction, about 1-in-4 of the ejected shells came back and hit me. Very irritating, especially the one that went down my shirt!
That could be either your grip or the ammo you were using.
Is this easily concealable or should I go with the Ruger LCP?
What's concealment totally depends on your body shape, body size, carry position, clothing and holster. I carry a Grand Power K100 most of the year
Question I have, slide is back, new mag is installed does the safety come on as you rack it back for your first shot. OR YOU MUST APPLY IT? IT'S NOT AUTO APPLY?
Is it raining?
GB do youthink have the thunder plus?
Is this a SA or DA? The way she is resetting has me asking.
Double action only
@@GBGuns Ahhh, I see. Thank you!
It's explained more in the tabletop video
Up
I have one of these and the only thingI do not like is the long trigger pull-is there any way to fix this gun to have a decent trigger pull-does anyone know
There are aftermarket kits, we tried one but didn't like it/ felt it was unsafe for a carry gun.
You would think a gun made by a machinist would have ambi mag ejections, but it doesn't. Im a left, very poor. 😺
a thumb safety on a DAO? 🙄
