I have owned a CPX1 for about 5 years. It has a lot of good features. I did swap to a Short Stroke trigger from Galloway Precision. The factory trigger is awful especially with arthritis issues. Accurate & dependable.
I also own a CPX1...great DA pull, a bit long,but positive, and accurate. All for under 150...used, but excellent...nothing to complain about (and I can bitch about anything...lol)
I like that you don’t really bash “budget guns”… I’m not a fan of the takedown or sccy’s in general but at the end of the day it’s a tool that’s affordable. If you trust it then sccy is doing something right
I 2nd that as a car gun... I'm looking for a gun that I can keep in my car 24/7. Something I'm not worried as much if someone breaks in my car. This could be an option.
I've been hearing good things about the SCCY pistol. The trigger has been improved greatly the aftermarket sights are much improved, especially the night sights!!!! The overall cost of the gun is good!!!
Modern Saturday night special. I had a cxp. It was a great beater/truck gun. Never had any problems with it. Ended up moving on to my sister when I had a bit more money for something a bit better. Hated the DA only trigger. But it'll do what it was designed to do.
❤️ @Sootch00, budget guns have a very important place in the new gun buyer community. Single moms and single women are hard-pressed to pay for a pistol and ammunition, and then they are spending another $150 for a 3-hour basic pistol class! That class is very important to them because they want to be a safe gun owner and learn some basic self-defense knowledge. So thank you for talking about guns that first time gun owners in a lower income group can actually afford.
I cannot say enough good things about SCCY's customer service. Less than a week turnaround on the two occasions I needed warranty work. I'm also impressed by Joe Robuck's philosophy, as stated on their website. I own 3 CPX-2 pistols in different colors. Nice review, I'll have to try a DVG one day.
I kinda like my SCCY trigger. Just think of it like it was a DAO revolver trigger and suddenly it's not bad. I shoot it just fine, and find the double strike feature comforting.
@@jeffwilson1217 Very little to none. Trigger pull is long and, while smooth, fairly heavy. It would take a deliberate effort to touch that thing off in your pocket.
Agreed. I’m a revolver guy and this is the closest thing to a revolver. Plus , it (CPX 2)carries ten rounds. I also like that the 9mm ammo costs about the same as 22WMR. I’m very interested in the DVG and may be adding one soon.
Excellent video! I have a CPX model which I only strictly use for trigger control/ practice but with this new model I will definitely get one. Made in the USA! Take Note Springfield made in the US.
Couple of things that I'd like to add to another great video. I have a few sccy handguns, glove box, tackle box and I do carry one with a red dot from time to time. I can't stress enough how excellent sccy customer service is. I had a magazine issue, which is common with sccy. I called the factory and the phone was immediately answered by a person. I was transferred within seconds to someone who knows the gun. They FedEx'd a new magazine that day. I also had to send my cpx 2 in for service and it was sent, fixed and returned in 6 days. Folks, thats unheard of. The machine work on the gun is 1st class and the lockup/dwell times are perfect. I can put 1" groups at 10 yards and I have had a few malfunctions, but they were ALWAYS magazine related. If you buy one of these guns I can't stress enough that you have to shoot it. Magazine problems will be immediate and obvious. Don't look past this gun, and keep an eye out for the new models, they have been completely redesigned for 2022.
SCCY has been making some good improvements. Not to the point I'd use them as an EDC but they're getting there and they're American made. Def rooting for them! edit - if I needed an EDC and didn't already have one I would pick one up, I'm just lucky enough to already have that covered!
Exactly. Like I feel. I love buying good, cheap guns that go pow, but I love their archaic but maybe infamous history, and then enjoy them on the range only. Got Bond Arms, LCPs, LC9s, G2Cs, G 26s and G 30s, and Keltec 17s because such light weight, for all else (EDC).
I call these throw away guns. Just what I call them !! I own 3 of them and have updated the triggers, polished the feed ramps and put upgrade guide springs in all of them. Also lasers on all of them. Never had any issues with any of them !! My wife and son shoot their guns great. I have less than $475 in each gun. Best warranty in the business !
I have a CPX-2 and installed a 25 dollar improved trigger kit from MCARBO. It reduced the pull by 50%. Would be cool to feel the difference between that, and this new pistol.
Thank you for this video. I have the cpx-2 as my edc and I love it. I hear a lot of criticism on the trigger but really it's actually a smooth predictable old school revolver trigger. If you buy this gun know that it has a break in period, buy 300 rounds of the cheapest range ammo you can find and use it all. Once you get to know it you'll love it.
I have had several SCCY pistols over several years now and recently got the DVG1. In the past I have had issues with the magazines and this one was no different. I contacted SCCY and got two new magazines at no cost and the gun has ran perfectly with all different kinds of ammo. It is broken in now and I am going to add night sights . I have several other pistols including Glock, Colt, and Mossburg, but I always seem to carry my SCCY the most. Good guns and the service can't be beat.
I like the long heavy trigger on the CPX2 it shoots just like a light weight double action revolver but with 10 rounds. If you are used to a revolver you may perfer the CPX 2. If you want a really great trigger skip the striker fired guns and use a single action gun.
2nd one I got today, $149, and it $156 out the door. Brand new condition silver onyx and black. Almost as good as the 1st one I bought. I just love cheap guns that go bang and are gems.
I picked-up the DVG-1 a few days ago and shot it at the range today. I was impressed with how accurate the gun was at 7 yards. The only issue are the magazines, which fit loose and pinches your skin when you fire it. In addition, out of the 2 mags provided with the gun 1 mag failed completely it would not feed the ammo after the 1st round was fired. All in all, for $300 bucks I feel fairly confident about the reliability of the gun but make sure you check your magazines.
@@ThatsCTR I bought it for my wife to carry. I put over 100 rounds through it to make sure it worked. I didn't have any issues. It was pretty accurate. She complained about the snappy recoil, so I bought her a SCCY CPX-4 380.
Good little handguns at a great price. Leaves $$$ for most important accessories….ammo and range time. Have had 4 CPX-1’s within family for 4yrs. Only issues was with 1 mag. But SCCY’s customer service is impeccable, gave them a call and they had a new mag to me within 5 days.
I just recieved my sccydvg-1 pistol from buds gun shop for $199.00 bucks and this is why I'm reading your review and just ordered ammo this morning I liked the review and the weapon looks reliable and made in the usa that is a plus
I WANT them to succeed. I actually think the CPX pistols are kind of nice looking and they come in all kinds of colors and they're super light. IF ONLY their quality control was more consistent. The great thing is their customer service is always there and will keep fixing it until they no longer can, which means you get a new one from em'.
SCCY handguns are basic copy's of the KELTEC P11. Keltec quit making the P11 about 4-5 years ago. The Keltec P11 was the very first Double Stack MICRO-9. It weighed just 14 ozs with 10+1. The Keltec P11 was decades ahead of everyone else.
I came here for this exact comment. It’s an upgraded striker fire P-11 with a mix of Glock take down and P-11 take down. Same style same size, but I bet this is slightly thinner since it’s a striker. Either way if it performs as well as my P-11, I’ll take it. I love my little workhorse.
The original hammer fired trigger it made a good pocket carry. I had one and with the heavy long trigger pull it was a very good option to just throw in your coat pocket to go check the mail or run to the gas station. In some situations I want a long heavy trigger so I buy some guns just for that reason.
Definitely improved from last model but at that price Taurus is better quality. Sig is in a totally different league of quality . But I’m happy to see it improve from previous models . This will be great in the used category for sub 200.
I bought the DVG-1 with installed red dot for $407. I got it really as a cheap way to try a red dot, as I’d never used one before. So you get a gun with a $200+ red dot all for around $400. I’ve got around 200 rounds through mine, so not that much, but it’s been good and dependable so far. It’s accurate and the trigger is pretty good. Would I replace a Glock or Sig with it, uh no, but for many folks this is a pretty good option.
Have you fired any and how much steel case ammunition through your DVG-1? How many FTF’s/FTE’s? Any other issues firing steel case ammunition? Thank you and have a nice day.
@@hb5914 The manual is online and on P. 13 says specifically not to fire steel or aluminum cased ammo in this gun. I have only fired brass and had no issues at all. It worked flawlessly, but that was only for about 200 rounds.
Please do not fire copper frangible bullets. I blew my dvg 1 rd up with a frangible bullet. SCCY DID send me a new one. I have not fired it yet. I will only use brass cased jacketed lead bullets !
Glad to see the company listening and adapting. I loved my Gen 1 SCCY CPX2 except for the length of pull required (I had to stretch my short fingers out to get a good feel on the trigger) and then I'd end up sore from a day at the range and need to ice down my trigger finger. That was a result of the long pull, the winch-style strength required to pull it and the snappy recoil that followed. The flat face and lighter pull sound great. Can't wait to get to my LGS and try it out! Thanks for the review!
The CPX-1/2 is like a mag fed revolver. Double action only, hard pull, and you will not accidentally fire it. But when you are in a self defense mode, your adrenaline is pumping and you will not notice. I will pick up a DVG soon. Just to see how it runs. . I am a fan of low cost reliable carry guns.
So when I have people who have never handled a handgun before ask me what they should get, I usually suggest a double action trigger for their first pistol. I had seen the SCCY reviews and thought the company must have overcome the initial problems they suffered when they were first released, otherwise, how would they still be for sale, right? So I had a young guy that worked for me go and purchase one. He immediately had nothing but problems. Failures to feed, failures to eject, the pins would walk out during fire. I called SCCY and let them know what was happening. They sent two new magazines for the feed issues, as well as a set of pins that had been painted to increase the diameter, making them less likely to walk. I installed the pins and took it to the range. The problems were lessened, but did still occur. I'm of the opinion that firearms should be pretty much sorted out before they hit the market. Otherwise, they could end up getting you killed. I gave the kid the money back he spent on the gun because he had purchased it at my suggestion, dismantled the gun and threw it away piece by piece. There's nothing wrong with budget guns, but they have to work. From my personal experience, SCCY is trash and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Took my DVG-1 out to the range yesterday and put 20 rounds through it. Performed flawlessly except for one issue with the ammo in which I had a strike on the primer but it didn't go off. Put the round in again and it went off. So no issues with the firearm or the magazines, but an issue with one round.
I must say that this is a really good review on this gun. I was watching other reviewers and it seemed like they were taking Taurus or other guns over this one a bunch of fanboys. I hate them kind of reviewers that's why you're the best..
A Galloway Precision Trigger is all a CPX 2 needs to be a great shooting gun, I have had mine for several years and no telling how many rounds I've put through it, and still love it! Great back up gun!
Yes for finger grooves and I heated up backstrap then rolled on counter to round out/down and repeated that antil the radius I wanted. Kind of a waste of time since if I'd have waited till now I could've got a gem 3 with no finger grooves or backstrap. I've since basically retired my cox from carry but still is nostalgic for some reason.
I have been wanting to buy the SCCY - 2 for sometime now. my son bought his two years ago and I have been getting my teeth ever sense. seeing your review on the SCCY DVG, you have my mind made up and getting this one. I like the fact they made it striker fire and flat triggered. That’s all it took to sell me on it - the black nitrate finish is a darn nice touch also.
I always check out your videos when looking for gun reviews. One improvement would be a 30 second segment with a female shooter with small hands showing how it fits their hand. The ladies like to watch reviews, too!
I like my SCCY CPX-2 because of the DAO trigger. I don't feel comfortable, yet, pocket carrying a cocked hammer/striker fired gun. Rather have a long trigger pull than a hole in a leg. Great review.
All you have to do with a Sccy CPX 2 is change the sights and do the trigger kit and polish the barrel and ramp feed and they work just fine … I run plus p plus and also 235 gr hard cast and it works fine
I've got the CPX 2 , and I really like mine. I've improved the trigger down to 4.6 .. But I'm really liking this new Sccy , think I'm going to have to get one.. Really appreciate the honest review.🦅🇺🇸🦅
I used to sell them when they first came out, they were selling for around $200. Great conceal handgun. I did notice you have to work the slide on those manually by hand about a 100 times and clean/lube before you take them out to the range. Glad to hear the new ones shoot out of the box. The thing I like best about these guns is that they are made in the USA.
I always wanted to like sccy because of its price and options but the grip and trigger are terrible. I almost talked myself into buying one with a red dot just to try out a red dot on a pistol but I can't find anything I like about the gun other than the price
I have a CPX2 and changed out the trigger with the MCARBO replacement, making the trigger pull around 4 lbs. It is, of course, still a long pull. The pistol is REALLY comfortable in my hand (with the extended mag with finger hold) and is easy to conceal. The mag does pinch my hand sometimes so it would be nice if they tightened that up a bit. One other issue I have is it is not so easy to drop a mag with the mag release button. It just seems a bit mushy and so I have to make a real positive push which slows things down a bit and requires my grip to change a bit while I drop the mag.
I guess Kel-Tec is more interested in innovating than capitalizing on a design that SCCY not only copied, but has now significantly improved. Of course SCCY wouldn't exist if Kel-Tec was ran differently. It's just a shame that the last few years has seen a surge of micro compact double stack 9mm's, and Kel-Tec is going to be the last manufacturer to get in on the game that they started lol.
I watched twice and did not see any mention of a safety. SCCY puts a safety on their CPX-1 which is a double action pistol, and in my opinion not needed just as you don't have a safety with a double action revolver. With a striker fired pistol that you carry with one in the chamber it is ready to fire and in my opinion the owner should have the option of a safety, either in the type some manufacturers use with the "double trigger" or something like the 1911's use but please give us the option. I was excited to see SCCY was coming out with a striker pistol but until the safety option is available I'll stick with my CPX-2 and have one in the chamber ready to go.
I had two of these the cpx2 and on both of them the extractor broke after a few hundred rounds yes the factory fixed it on the first one it happened twice and on the second one it happened once I then sold them at a loss.
while the sccy pistols are an improvement over the keltec p11 personally I found them unreliable; owned 3 in the past & 2 of them had multiple malfunctions with feeding, extracting, ejecting; never looked back...then this review has me pondering whether to give them another chance...
Bought my wife one of these a pink and purple 9mm with halo sight on it biggest waste of 400 plus dollars i think I ever have. Has about a 3 inch 10 pound trigger pull. And a 4 inch reset. ( just very small exaggerations) it dose look cute though. Don't waste your money on it you will regret it
I'm a fan of the P365 my carry gun actually but I def like this gun def wanna get my hands on one and maybe get one in my safe. That trigger pull sounds way better then the CPX
Canik has proven that you can make a reasonably priced firearm with a decent trigger… so there’s no excuse to have a garbage trigger anymore. It drives me crazy that we all pay good money for all these pistols then have to pay to then “upgrade” the trigger. When in reality… it would take very little effort on the manufacture to install a decent trigger from the factory. And I’m not saying a competition trigger… just a decent trigger.
God Forbid, any of us actually ever have the need to use our tools in a self-defense situation. However, with all things considered. If you run your tools thru their paces and find them reliable, and "YOU" have confidence in them. Just my opinion, but I see a distinct advantage with the budget friendly tools like this. Having heard that the odds are your firearm will NOT be returned to you, especially in Shit-Cago here. Why would I want to lose one of my Sig's, S&W, Colt or Kimber's? Hell at today's prices I don't even want to lose one of my Glocks. Now for those haters that will say "I would never trust my life to a Taurus, SCCY or High Point" ok well maybe not HP..lol. That's great, also that's your choice. In that roughly 1-in-315 lifetime chance you're in a gun assault situation, and you do survive. Well, you may wish you had that pricey piece to sell for the legal fees. If not, at that point. All your safe queens, BBQ showoff pieces, kiss my a** range toys or Cochran Turret isn't doing you a lick of good.
Sounds great for my needs in a truck gun except i need a safety. Wife cannot jack the slide to cock and get 1st round into chamber. I dont like a round ready to fire and no safety. Too bad. Back to a Taurus c2 or c3. Which is fine but would rather have one a bit smaller for easier carry to wally world
I had one. First handgun I ever bought. I couldn't stand how the grip cut my thumb everytime I shot the gun. I don't know if it was the shape of the grip or what but I hated shooting it. Never had that happen with any other pistol I own
I have owned a CPX1 for about 5 years. It has a lot of good features. I did swap to a Short Stroke trigger from Galloway Precision. The factory trigger is awful especially with arthritis issues. Accurate & dependable.
I owned one for a week and it broke. Mag catch broke and fell right out of the gun. 3 weeks later and I'm still trying to get it shipped back.
Yeah I have the cpx2 and it's a great carry gun.
I also own a CPX1...great DA pull, a bit long,but positive, and accurate. All for under 150...used, but excellent...nothing to complain about (and I can bitch about anything...lol)
I had similar issues and I swapped it with an MCarbo trigger that cost less than 25 bucks and it reduced the trigger pull exponentially
For a cheapo gun, you get a lot of quality in it! Did the short stroke trigger improve the feel a lot?
I've owned 4 of these and they have never failed me. Not one time!
George Kellgren knows how to design something.
It's nice to see somebody improving the OG micro compact double stack, even if Kel-Tec won't.
I like that you don’t really bash “budget guns”… I’m not a fan of the takedown or sccy’s in general but at the end of the day it’s a tool that’s affordable. If you trust it then sccy is doing something right

When You Compare The SCCY With The SIG SAUER, The Front Sight On Your SCCY Is Aimed Into Left Field.
Comparing the SCCY to a SiG Sauer is in itself in left field.

I’ve got around 200 rounds through mine, so not that much, but it’s been good and dependable so far. It’s accurate and the trigger is pretty good. Would I replace a Glock or Sig with it, uh no, but for many folks this is a pretty good option.
Have you fired any and how much steel case ammunition through your DVG-1? How many FTF’s/FTE’s? Any other issues firing steel case ammunition? Thank you and have a nice day.
@@hb5914 The manual is online and on P. 13 says specifically not to fire steel or aluminum cased ammo in this gun. I have only fired brass and had no issues at all. It worked flawlessly, but that was only for about 200 rounds.
Please do not fire copper frangible bullets. I blew my dvg 1 rd up with a frangible bullet. SCCY DID send me a new one. I have not fired it yet. I will only use brass cased jacketed lead bullets !
Honestly the 365 sig is overrated
Cant believe I’m watching a SCCY video
🥲
Glad to see the company listening and adapting. I loved my Gen 1 SCCY CPX2 except for the length of pull required (I had to stretch my short fingers out to get a good feel on the trigger) and then I'd end up sore from a day at the range and need to ice down my trigger finger. That was a result of the long pull, the winch-style strength required to pull it and the snappy recoil that followed. The flat face and lighter pull sound great. Can't wait to get to my LGS and try it out! Thanks for the review!
If I’m not mistaken they have a pretty good warranty as well.
And you're going to need it!
Been hearing about this gun for like 2 years now and they STILL haven't hit shelves here yet in AZ anywhere that I've seen.
The CPX-1/2 is like a mag fed revolver. Double action only, hard pull, and you will not accidentally fire it. But when you are in a self defense mode, your adrenaline is pumping and you will not notice. I will pick up a DVG soon. Just to see how it runs. . I am a fan of low cost reliable carry guns.
So when I have people who have never handled a handgun before ask me what they should get, I usually suggest a double action trigger for their first pistol. I had seen the SCCY reviews and thought the company must have overcome the initial problems they suffered when they were first released, otherwise, how would they still be for sale, right? So I had a young guy that worked for me go and purchase one. He immediately had nothing but problems. Failures to feed, failures to eject, the pins would walk out during fire. I called SCCY and let them know what was happening. They sent two new magazines for the feed issues, as well as a set of pins that had been painted to increase the diameter, making them less likely to walk. I installed the pins and took it to the range. The problems were lessened, but did still occur. I'm of the opinion that firearms should be pretty much sorted out before they hit the market. Otherwise, they could end up getting you killed. I gave the kid the money back he spent on the gun because he had purchased it at my suggestion, dismantled the gun and threw it away piece by piece. There's nothing wrong with budget guns, but they have to work. From my personal experience, SCCY is trash and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Took my DVG-1 out to the range yesterday and put 20 rounds through it. Performed flawlessly except for one issue with the ammo in which I had a strike on the primer but it didn't go off. Put the round in again and it went off. So no issues with the firearm or the magazines, but an issue with one round.
A new refreshing sccy? I’m here for it
I must say that this is a really good review on this gun. I was watching other reviewers and it seemed like they were taking Taurus or other guns over this one a bunch of fanboys. I hate them kind of reviewers that's why you're the best..
A Galloway Precision Trigger is all a CPX 2 needs to be a great shooting gun, I have had mine for several years and no telling how many rounds I've put through it, and still love it! Great back up gun!
Interesting. I put the MCarbo kit in mine. Way better. I will read up on the galloway!
I put the Galloway flat face trigger on mine which helped. I had to get rid of the finger grooves and back strap cushion areaand now it feels awesome.
@@deenoberry3360 Did you file it down with a dremel tool?
Yes for finger grooves and I heated up backstrap then rolled on counter to round out/down and repeated that antil the radius I wanted. Kind of a waste of time since if I'd have waited till now I could've got a gem 3 with no finger grooves or backstrap. I've since basically retired my cox from carry but still is nostalgic for some reason.
Think I might buy one of these buggers.....Been wanting one for the truck....good video, thanks
I have been wanting to buy the SCCY - 2 for sometime now. my son bought his two years ago and I have been getting my teeth ever sense. seeing your review on the SCCY DVG, you have my mind made up and getting this one. I like the fact they made it striker fire and flat triggered. That’s all it took to sell me on it - the black nitrate finish is a darn nice touch also.
Get one I bought one about a month or so ago love everything about it cheap 149.99 at or on palmetto state armory store or online
It's interesting that you and Who Tee Who both came out with a review on the SCCY today.
I've been wondering when this would finally release.
Thanks for the video!
I bought a cpx1 last year it runs great on just about any ammo and makes a great back up for my back up
I had the cpx2, I gave it to a family in need, good reliable gun but when you can get the canik sf for the same price, well...
Nice. Reminds me of my Kel Tec P11 and I think I paid about the same price back in the 90's.
I always check out your videos when looking for gun reviews. One improvement would be a 30 second segment with a female shooter with small hands showing how it fits their hand. The ladies like to watch reviews, too!
Slide and barrel are both stainless steel. Nitride on slide is over stainless. Makes it very corrosion resistant. Good/fair minded review. Thanks.
I own a cpx 2 after dry firing and learning to stage the trigger. It's second nature now.
I put some yellow paint on the end of the hammer, so I could stage the trigger easier.
Don't have any recent experience with SCCY, but 10 years ago they were crap. Hope that they have changed.
still crap not something I would NOT trust to save my life
Top view of the slides appeared to show a slanted front sight on the SCCY...
I bought my CPX2's after watching your video on it. In that video you stated that "you have to master that trigger!!"
Just bought one thanks to this review, I was on the fence about the CPX but I could not get over the trigger pull
I like my SCCY CPX-2 because of the DAO trigger. I don't feel comfortable, yet, pocket carrying a cocked hammer/striker fired gun. Rather have a long trigger pull than a hole in a leg. Great review.
He might add a "G" to every glock model number even after saying the word Glock but he def. Does the BEST gun reviews!!!😄
Him and Hickok 45.
All you have to do with a Sccy CPX 2 is change the sights and do the trigger kit and polish the barrel and ramp feed and they work just fine … I run plus p plus and also 235 gr hard cast and it works fine
I've got the CPX 2 , and I really like mine. I've improved the trigger down to 4.6 .. But I'm really liking this new Sccy , think I'm going to have to get one.. Really appreciate the honest review.🦅🇺🇸🦅
Sootch00 keep up the great job showing the good and bad of all the firearms you demo. The Sccy DVG-1 , I bought one.
I used to sell them when they first came out, they were selling for around $200. Great conceal handgun. I did notice you have to work the slide on those manually by hand about a 100 times and clean/lube before you take them out to the range. Glad to hear the new ones shoot out of the box. The thing I like best about these guns is that they are made in the USA.
Thank You Don! FINALLY! A review I can Trust. I have been waiting on this gun to come out finally.
Scootch, Good review. I've owned several SCCYs over the years. They've worked well. KEEP ATTACKING!!!
Have a CPX3 380 It's a nice shooting gun!
Same sights I run on my 43X (very good) ,. It's a very sleek looking gun compared to Taurus or Ruger LCP typ. other 10rd compared to the price
It's a perpetual warranty; just call them and they will fix it, the mag catch issue. The warranty follows the gun not just the first owner.
Great honest review as usual! I've got a CPX2 I might have to trade in!
This looks like SCCY finally has a good shooting gun 👍🏻🇺🇸
I love your show and I love the outtake that is usually what cracks me up keep up the good work
Thanks great review. I was on the fence but now I’m gonna try one.
I WANT to like these guns. But their quality control needs work. If they can fix that then I'd recommend these over a G2c or G3c any day of the week.
I always wanted to like sccy because of its price and options but the grip and trigger are terrible. I almost talked myself into buying one with a red dot just to try out a red dot on a pistol but I can't find anything I like about the gun other than the price
I have a CPX2 and changed out the trigger with the MCARBO replacement, making the trigger pull around 4 lbs. It is, of course, still a long pull. The pistol is REALLY comfortable in my hand (with the extended mag with finger hold) and is easy to conceal. The mag does pinch my hand sometimes so it would be nice if they tightened that up a bit. One other issue I have is it is not so easy to drop a mag with the mag release button. It just seems a bit mushy and so I have to make a real positive push which slows things down a bit and requires my grip to change a bit while I drop the mag.
I guess Kel-Tec is more interested in innovating than capitalizing on a design that SCCY not only copied, but has now significantly improved.
Of course SCCY wouldn't exist if Kel-Tec was ran differently.
It's just a shame that the last few years has seen a surge of micro compact double stack 9mm's, and Kel-Tec is going to be the last manufacturer to get in on the game that they started lol.
Dad's cpx2 was OK the trigger felt long and heavy, but felt smooth. This might be the upgrade he might like to look into.
A SCCY in the hand is a million times better than a Sig in safe.
Its sure better than nothing at all or a stick
The front site looked pretty crooked on the SCCY when comparing it to the Sig.
I watched twice and did not see any mention of a safety. SCCY puts a safety on their CPX-1 which is a double action pistol, and in my opinion not needed just as you don't have a safety with a double action revolver. With a striker fired pistol that you carry with one in the chamber it is ready to fire and in my opinion the owner should have the option of a safety, either in the type some manufacturers use with the "double trigger" or something like the 1911's use but please give us the option. I was excited to see SCCY was coming out with a striker pistol but until the safety option is available I'll stick with my CPX-2 and have one in the chamber ready to go.
Well said.
I had two of these the cpx2 and on both of them the extractor broke after a few hundred rounds yes the factory fixed it on the first one it happened twice and on the second one it happened once I then sold them at a loss.
Man I really like your video I’m going to get this one just got The Taurus G3 can’t wait to go the range😊
while the sccy pistols are an improvement over the keltec p11 personally I found them unreliable; owned 3 in the past & 2 of them had multiple malfunctions with feeding, extracting, ejecting; never looked back...then this review has me pondering whether to give them another chance...
Bought my wife one of these a pink and purple 9mm with halo sight on it biggest waste of 400 plus dollars i think I ever have. Has about a 3 inch 10 pound trigger pull. And a 4 inch reset. ( just very small exaggerations) it dose look cute though. Don't waste your money on it you will regret it
That's the DAO version this is the Dvg-1 which is striker fire do a little research.
Is the front sight crooked at 3:15-3:20?
They got the exact same version this guy's using in the videos at Bud's Gun Shop for 187 bucks brand new
I would definitely consider getting one of these....you gave a good review..thanks.....it's a nice little pistol...👍☕🍩
I'm a fan of the P365 my carry gun actually but I def like this gun def wanna get my hands on one and maybe get one in my safe. That trigger pull sounds way better then the CPX
Awesome review, I definitely want one.
Canik has proven that you can make a reasonably priced firearm with a decent trigger… so there’s no excuse to have a garbage trigger anymore. It drives me crazy that we all pay good money for all these pistols then have to pay to then “upgrade” the trigger. When in reality… it would take very little effort on the manufacture to install a decent trigger from the factory. And I’m not saying a competition trigger… just a decent trigger.
I don't buy garbage triggers! Glock's I upgrade for $13 with a 3.5-pound connector in 5 minutes!!!!! I put on night sights also!!!!!
The heavy triggers cut the manufacturer's liability!
@@marktelep5856 You made my point….!!!! Thanks
@@marktelep5856 I see your point. But there is crap… and THEN THERE IS CRAP. Haha.
@@marktelep5856 3.5 pound trigger is totally unnecessary and could be dangerous. GLOCK's can be ordered from the dealers with choice of night sights.
Good review at 3:16 what’s up with the Sccy front sight? How is it attached?
God Forbid, any of us actually ever have the need to use our tools in a self-defense situation. However, with all things considered. If you run your tools thru their paces and find them reliable, and "YOU" have confidence in them. Just my opinion, but I see a distinct advantage with the budget friendly tools like this. Having heard that the odds are your firearm will NOT be returned to you, especially in Shit-Cago here. Why would I want to lose one of my Sig's, S&W, Colt or Kimber's? Hell at today's prices I don't even want to lose one of my Glocks. Now for those haters that will say "I would never trust my life to a Taurus, SCCY or High Point" ok well maybe not HP..lol. That's great, also that's your choice. In that roughly 1-in-315 lifetime chance you're in a gun assault situation, and you do survive. Well, you may wish you had that pricey piece to sell for the legal fees. If not, at that point. All your safe queens, BBQ showoff pieces, kiss my a** range toys or Cochran Turret isn't doing you a lick of good.
I was going to get the Glock 17, but this, this is what I want!
Sounds great for my needs in a truck gun except i need a safety. Wife cannot jack the slide to cock and get 1st round into chamber. I dont like a round ready to fire and no safety. Too bad. Back to a Taurus c2 or c3. Which is fine but would rather have one a bit smaller for easier carry to wally world
I had one. First handgun I ever bought. I couldn't stand how the grip cut my thumb everytime I shot the gun. I don't know if it was the shape of the grip or what but I hated shooting it. Never had that happen with any other pistol I own
Norinco PX3 (P762) 7.62×25mm video please
I didn't like any of the cpx guns , didn't like Ruger lc9 or 380 either, but the striker fire version of both are great improvements
Pause at 3:11
Gotta love that crooked front sight 🤣. Had a friend who's broke off completely
