I don't care what anybody says about SCCY. I had an experience with a gen 2 cpx9 that was absolutely abused and left out in the elements for at least 3 months with no mag in it. Cleaned it, got a new recoil spring, new sights, a new mag and ran 150 rds through it with zero issues. Customer service was great as well.
People like to Crap on SCCY because they're a budget gun with a DAO trigger! But they are really well made for the price point. SCCY should be commended for being an American company employing Americans! They sometimes have a few hiccups with the mags(which are made in-house)BUT...if u do a little sanding around the magazine follower skirt, and some polishing of the feed lips, along w/leaving them loaded for a couple days....mine have been flawless! I've never had to send a SCCY mag back. Or had a warranty problem of any kind. I'm glad guns like SCCY are available.
Id hope so these aren't even remotely close or can even be compared to a. High point 😂😅😂 I carry this on one of my setups. I've had Glocks Sigs etc. these fire just the same in my opinion as any top doller gun ur just paying for a name. I run this for my EDC and my CCW. Also got one on my plate carrier etc etc love sccy got plenty of them
The amazing thing is their customer service. They sent me new mags, the early ones springs caused jamming. I had the cpx1 but the safety dug into my thumb, they sent me a cpx2 body. The gun shoots and cycles fine but the trigger was just always to heavy and long, it actually hurt my finger. It has been in a drawer for a few years because of that. But they are a good little gun and a great company.
I bought one about 4 years ago. The first semi automatic I've owned. I did a lot of dry fire practice. And learning to stage the trigger was necessary so I wouldn't pull the barrel when shooting. Once you've pulled the trigger slightly, there's no tension on the trigger.
I picked up a CPX2 back in 2020 and I was surprised that I haven't had any issues for $150 gun. My main purpose for the CPX2 was to teach my family on how to shoot accurately with a DAO trigger. Excellent video and keep up the great work 👍
I bought a purple frame CPX-2 3rd gen and while it’s clearly not perfect with the trigger being a slight challenge, it’s perfect for me to conceal and carry, reliable, and consistent. I understand why some folks hate them but for others, the CPX-2 will be tried and true after the learning curve. We should ALWAYS take care of our firearms however you can beat the CPX-2 to hell and back and she’ll still work. I would recommend a 15 capacity mag to help compensate some of the recoil and having a comfortable grip. Worked for me 😎
I dropped mine about a week after buying it (god was I pissed at myself) and can report they will not discharge. Great little gun at a great little price. Have the cpx-2 gen 2 and the dvg-1.
I used my CPX-2 Gen 2 for my CHP class. Felt safe drawing and holstering because it has a DAO trigger. People complain about the trigger but that's what makes it safe and simple. Get the version without the safety, one less problem if you have to draw and shoot.
My first 9mm was a gen 1 and it was a challenge due to the long trigger and reset BUT IT TOOK EVERYTHING i SHOT THROUGH IT AND IT WAS A VERY RELIABLE FIREARM BUT GIFTED IT TO A FAMILY MEMBER DURING THE QUARINTINE . I tend to carry revolvers in 38 and 357 so the long and heavy trigger is not really an issue and have a Barretta Nano as my primary 9mm. . I recently got the gen 3 as the price was on point and again it did well at the range . The updated design is a plus and in all fairness the trigger is an improvement . Due to capacity and reliability this has become a primary carry .
I paid $10 for the background check $18 for the holster and only $170! For the gun. I got it from bimart in the town where I live last month in less than 24 hours😊. So that’s pretty good if they sale it for $309+ other areas then. I got one hell of a deal. Very good video and informative btw. Thank you. Helped me learn more about mine.
@@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241 mag lips, the problem on MOST 'inexpensive' guns is the MAGAZINE, if you tune the mags AND replace the springs its a damn good pistol, its what I carry now. I am a Retired Gunsmith....
Update. I just bought the Sky Blue CPX-2 and it felt good in the hand and looked good. Then I tried to cycle ammo and the slide would not fully engage the round. It did this with both FMJ and JHP. Took it apart, cleaned and lubed it and it seems better. Taking it to the range this weekend and I hope it functions because I like this $175 pistol and would like to put it in my EDC rotation.
Hey Hammer Striker, I love your videos. One thing, tho. You didn't go into detail on the quad locking barrel design. This is one of the most interesting features of this pistol (albeit, it could just be marketing bunk). Perhaps a quick folow up vid? I also think these SCCY pistols are excellent for the budget-minded self defender who isn't spending hours at the range trying to get 2 MOA at 25 yards. They're all about "point, shoot, perp down". Good for non-gun folks.
I have owned a cpx-1 red dot for over three years, it has been a great firearm. I did put a trigger kit in mine to lower the trigger pull to 4lbs. When it was new I did have a few failure to feed problems but after 50 rounds I had none. After each time to the range I clean mine, I now use mine for ccw. A couple of weeks ago I found a deal on a cpx-2. The trigger on the cpx-2 breaks at 6 lbs. and my cpx-1 broke at 8 lbs. before the trigger kit. I think SCCY manufactures a great product made in the USA that most people can afford. I do own some Glocks, Sigs and Colts but I think the SCCY fills the roll of concealed carry just as well as the more expensive firearms
I got a gen-3 FDE for 170.00 and just bought a gen 2 with a CT red dot for 190.00. I use the gen 3 with the Mantis-x as a dryfire trainer. The restrike is fantastic for dryfire. I'm going to add a green lase and do a trigger job on the new gen-2.
I don't own a CPX-3 therefore I can't say. However, being a .380, they should be easier than the gen-3. The gen-3 does have a pic rail on the bottom that comes in handy and the CPX-3 does not. @@chrissalmon3503
Just purchased a CPX-3 last week ran 300 rounds thought it 200 FMJ and 100 JHP. Great gun shoots straight, only had one feed issue, recoil is light, slide rack is lighter than the gen-3, trigger is still a bit heavy but the reset is much better., gen-3 has a pic rail and the CPX-3 does not. Got it at Sportsman warehouse for 190.00 out the door. CPX-3 is my new EDC.@@chrissalmon3503
Good review buddy thumbs up. 👍 I have a gin to myself with red dot optic. Excellent gun... I told it everyday and it feels like I don't even have again excellent review.
Gud vid! I bot this mod simply bcuz I couldn't turn down the $139 offer. Didn't expect much for a "throw-down belly gun"! Happily surprised when it "edged" my ec9s @ "head-to-head" range-test. Just a tad more accurate(I felt more comforable/fit better in hand/didn't torque as much in recoil). Gotta keep ec9s for pocket carry( 10 hr/day/6 day wk) but cpx2 rides well in auto/hangs beside door/and goes in jacket pocket, so, it aint lonely!!
I take my cpx2 3g to the shooting range I shoot more than 500 rounds and no problem , trigger is a little bit hard, sccy sell a kit with the newest soft springs make the trigger easy to pull.
picked up a gen 2 works swell, feeds and shoots 30 yards all center mass, trigger is junk and harder than a 18 year at strip club. But it works. it is my truck gun..
Amazing shooting as usual! Thanks for the video. It's a good thing that it's not too small. I don't shoot very small 9mm guns that well. It's just me though. I suck 😂. $150 on sale right now
Many people saying about Sccy Firearms Cheap. Maybe the CEO and Managers are not trying to buy 10 Houses around the country. 10 Boats, 10 Air Planes. I have a Sccy CSX 2. No Problems. I bought high end firearms before with shooting problems, The only differences is greed.
I have a few higher end pistols and was looking for a camping gun I bought a cpx2 gen 3 new for 219 went to range with 100 rounds of seller and billot fmj 115 grain no issue with 25 round of American gunner 115 grain xtp no issue with fucchio hyper preformace 115 grain xtp nothing but light primer strikes they did go off with second trigger pull not sure why that happened as they shoot fine out of my fn503,xd9 subcompact mod2 and sig p365 even out of my wife’s Taurus g2s. The Sccy seems like a good gun just a bit ammo picky it did how ever work good with my carry ammo sig v crown 115 grain.
Have you handled one?? Have you felt that long but light and smooth trigger? DAO is the safest carry pistol in the world............................elsullo
I've owned probably five or six of them. They always went bang when I hit the switch. I've got a little problem. I want to own a lot of different guns, but my wife won't let me buy them all,so I trade through them. Right now I'm set up pretty good for carry. I'm sure something will catch my eye.
Why would you need a Drop Safety? The hammer and fireing pin are inert, The hammer is internal and remaines in the nutural position untill cocked by the trigger. I understand that the Trigger Pull can be adjusted for a lighter setting.
To make the picatinny rail? I was thinking about doing that too. But after seeing this one I'm going to contact them to see if I can get just the frame it it'll work
@@UntiI117 I covered mine with a piece of rubber pic. rail cover... I don't believe in pointing a loaded firearm at something so I can see it with my light.... not a good idea....
I own a cpx-2 gen 2, if you can, see if the grip modules are interchageable. I was thinking of modifying mine to fit my hand better...even bought another gen 2 grip module. If gen 3 is swappable I would go that route. Already put in MCARBO trigger springs to reduce the heavy trigger pull...mine also experienced FTF early but after first 100 rounds no problems. Thanks

Nice review, but you did not explain what the new "Quad Lock" actually IS, and how it might be different from the earlier version 2 of the CPX2. By the way, there is no NEED for a drop-safety mechanism (much less a manual safety lever) for a gun that is never even cocked until the trigger is fully pulled. It is the safest gun in the world for pocket carry!.............................elsullo
It’s basically like a revolver. The hammer is at rest against the firing pin. But the firing pin is held in place by a very strong spring. And the firing pin itself is super light. The main safety is the heavy trigger just like a revolver I own two of these and love them it’s a very safe gun to carry !! I highly recommend them.
@@meganday9741Absolutely! That the beauty of these pistols.They are literally the safest semi automatic handgun in production right now,to carry with a round in the chamber and no manual safety!
I had the SCCY SPX 1 9mm. Hated it. The trigger pull sucked and the recoil was horrific. If they can rework it for a lighter trigger pull and less recoil i will buy another one.
Just shoot the mother fucker a couple 100 rounds and that trigger will break in quite nicely.And you won't shoot yourself or someone else with one of these unless you are a complete moron 🙂
Anyone out there know of holsters for these? Kydex iwb/owb. Found one from Aggressive Concealment but that's about it. At least saying it's for the gen 3. I'm assuming with the slide redesign that gen 2 kydex will not work. If anyone knows of a kydex holster for it, please let me know. Picking mine up soon from the local gun store.
I love this gun but I’m having an issue with loading a round in chamber. I think it’s the mag or could I the something else ?? Also do ya know any kydex holsters for this gun with a light attached? Also do ya know if it has a suppressor or threaded barrel?
140-150$ now only reason I'm picking one uo rn lol was going with taurus th9c but for over 100$ diff I'll wait on the taurus and get this cheapy in purple my wife wants it after i get the th9c anyways haha but crazy u said its 260$ 7 months ago and now palmetto state getren rid of em for 140$ to 150$ now depends on color
I had a older cpx2 it was a good shooter but had issues with it going fully battery and frame pins would walk out after a out 30-50 rounds. For this price range I'd choose a g3c or gx4 all day long just my preference
They fixed those issues over a decade ago. The Sccy is far safer than the Taurus G2 and G3 series which are FULLY COCKED when racked, and very dependent upon that manual safety lever for secure carry............................elsullo
@@elsullo2 I believe that's how all striker fire guns operate and many like Glock to name one doesn't even use a Manuel safety. Keep the booger hooker off the trigger and careful holstering is your safety.
DO NOT do dry rapid fire with the sky guns the hammer springs are not strong enough to handle heavy use I had to replace the hammer spring within a few weeks after purchasing this firearm. Basically don't ever dry fire this gun and don't try to fire it rapidly.
SCCY seems to be a rebranded Keltec p11 which was really the first of what the p365 made a killing on... micro 10+1 Reason I sold my first one and now have a p11 is bcs the finger grooves made the grip too uncomfy
The Sccy is admittedly a modified Kel-tec P11, very nearly the same, as is that first Ruger pocket nine that conquered the world. Kel-tec never patents their designs! They think that other makers copying them is a compliment! I had a Kel-tec P11 for THIRTY YEARS and fired at least five hundred rounds of ammo through, and IT NEVER FAILED ONCE. It was still more accurate than I could be. I now have the Sccy CPX2 because it is PRETTY!..........................elsullo
Sorry guys. This gun is a real stinker. If not for its cheap price point it would have zero reason for existing. Scroll to 5:05 when he pulls the trigger and the whole gun shakes because not only is 9 pound pull terrible for a dao, but the trigger breaking at the very very back of the trigger guard is a sure solution to shoot with the outside tip of your finger high and left. This is also a chonky boy with little purchase. IF this is the only gun you can afford (and I keep seeing it for $169.00) then it is better than a harsh word and a sharp stick. I would suggest if you need to be budget minded, to invest about twice as much in a Ruger LCP Max. It is also a smallish gun, the DAO is about 6 pounds tops but I lube and polish, so I measure it about 5 pounds pretty consistently. Both sights are adjustable on the horizontal axis and replaceable with push sites of all kinds. Your life is worth the extra $150 and think of it this way: if you resell that sccy it will be worth a cup of coffee. The Ruger will be worth 3/4 of the value.
We don't do paid promotions. We have reviewed several SCCYs and had good luck with them other that the one red dot that came apart. That part came with a SCCY but was actually a Crimson Trace unit. Overall, they are not comparable to a Walther or Glock but the are 1/2 the cost. Did those reviews hate them because they truly didn't work or just because they weren't fancy or finely turned?
@@HammerStriker because it doesnt say GLOCK on it... usually the same idiots that bash every gun except GLOCK because its not 'Uhmarkin' designed... I call em GLOCK SUCKERS... lol
I recently bought the SCCY CPX-2 gen 3. Shot it this weekend about 100 rounds with FMJ and HP's. No issues and very accurate ( 5 yards, lol), very happy with mine. I've seen these bad reviews as well, but I think SCCY has resolved these issues.
I don't care what anybody says about SCCY. I had an experience with a gen 2 cpx9 that was absolutely abused and left out in the elements for at least 3 months with no mag in it.

I took a Dremel to mine to make it look like this one. I guess I should have waited.
To make the picatinny rail? I was thinking about doing that too. But after seeing this one I'm going to contact them to see if I can get just the frame it it'll work
I did wait, and happy as heck the gen 3 FITS me...
@@UntiI117 I covered mine with a piece of rubber pic. rail cover... I don't believe in pointing a loaded firearm at something so I can see it with my light.... not a good idea....
I own a cpx-2 gen 2, if you can, see if the grip modules are interchageable. I was thinking of modifying mine to fit my hand better...even bought another gen 2 grip module. If gen 3 is swappable I would go that route. Already put in MCARBO trigger springs to reduce the heavy trigger pull...mine also experienced FTF early but after first 100 rounds no problems. Thanks
love them springs... like night and day....
I have both and the Gen 2 slide will not fit the Gen 3 lower. I really like the Gen 3 it fits my hand much better.
anyone else having spent casings ejecting straight back and hitting you in the head ,face ...doesnt happen every shot but enough..just curious if its just one of those things with the gun or a defect.thanks
Mine ejects them right over my head 99% of the time.
I wish mine would have come with flat base plates. But not that expensive
Just bought the SCCY CPX-2 Gen 3, but mine has the straight trigger. Hmmm.
After buying up 2x, i wish SCCY offered an upgrade incentive. I'm listening guys!😉
I want a suppressor or threaded barrel for this gun
& light attached kydex holsters for this gun
They are on sale for $170 right no at Palmetto State Armory.
Nice review, the absence of the drop safety plunger is why I chose not to get one of these. I wish there were more DAO micro/compact guns available.
@@anthonyarcher7268 What?
A 9 pound trigger is not light. M*Carbo makes a spring kit, I will try it out.
Is there a way I can add a flashlight or laser for my sccy cpx2 gen 3?
Yes, that's what the picatinny rail is for just need to find one short enough to fit
Amazon
why do you want to 'look around' in the dark by pointing a LOADED weapon where ever it is you are looking ???? thats BEGGING for a 'whoopseybang'
@@robaldridge6505 target identification, keeping the weapon in battery in close contact. I don't have a light on every handgun I have, but absolutely for home defense.
@@dayaninikhaton you 'identify' a TARGET by pointing a loaded weapon at it ??? I pray to God its not one of your kids sneaking around...... why not just TURN on a light, illuminate the whole room and keep your muzzle in a SAFE direction...OR carry a flashlight in your other hand, use a headlamp that already looks where you are looking
Nice review, but you did not explain what the new "Quad Lock" actually IS, and how it might be different from the earlier version 2 of the CPX2. By the way, there is no NEED for a drop-safety mechanism (much less a manual safety lever) for a gun that is never even cocked until the trigger is fully pulled. It is the safest gun in the world for pocket carry!.............................elsullo
Exactly what I like so much about them,and why I recommend them to all new handgun carriers I meet!
So, there's no safety, or how does it work?
Thanks for the great video!
It’s basically like a revolver. The hammer is at rest against the firing pin. But the firing pin is held in place by a very strong spring. And the firing pin itself is super light. The main safety is the heavy trigger just like a revolver I own two of these and love them it’s a very safe gun to carry !! I highly recommend them.
@@arthurjones9644 do u carry with one In the chamber ?
@@meganday9741Absolutely! That the beauty of these pistols.They are literally the safest semi automatic handgun in production right now,to carry with a round in the chamber and no manual safety!
I had the SCCY SPX 1 9mm. Hated it. The trigger pull sucked and the recoil was horrific. If they can rework it for a lighter trigger pull and less recoil i will buy another one.
respring it cuts the pull in 1/2
Just shoot the mother fucker a couple 100 rounds and that trigger will break in quite nicely.And you won't shoot yourself or someone else with one of these unless you are a complete moron 🙂
CPX-3 in .380 would have less recoil.
Anyone out there know of holsters for these? Kydex iwb/owb. Found one from Aggressive Concealment but that's about it. At least saying it's for the gen 3. I'm assuming with the slide redesign that gen 2 kydex will not work.
If anyone knows of a kydex holster for it, please let me know. Picking mine up soon from the local gun store.
Not for new Gen 3 but I appreciate the help also I am looking for light attached holster for this gun and silencer or threaded barrel
FOX makes a Kydex Leather blend for the cpx2 gen 2 and the gen 3 fits just fine.
On your 6 designs
Buy a holster for a Taurus g3c this gun fits it
Just bought one for 199
I love this gun but I’m having an issue with loading a round in chamber.
I think it’s the mag or could I the something else ??
Also do ya know any kydex holsters for this gun with a light attached?
Also do ya know if it has a suppressor or threaded barrel?
My issue with my gen 2 it was the magazines, had to bend the lips out a little bit
And no the barrel isn't threaded, I dont think there's any way to add a suppressor
@@UntiI117 theres not and its too short for a supressor
yeaa the mags are not the best but im pretty sure they support promags and possibly glock mags
Just make the SA already !
Sccy DVG-1 is striker fired but they haven't came out with the gen 3 frame for it yet
It's going for 260$ now
140-150$ now only reason I'm picking one uo rn lol was going with taurus th9c but for over 100$ diff I'll wait on the taurus and get this cheapy in purple my wife wants it after i get the th9c anyways haha but crazy u said its 260$ 7 months ago and now palmetto state getren rid of em for 140$ to 150$ now depends on color
I take my cpx2 3g
I had a older cpx2 it was a good shooter but had issues with it going fully battery and frame pins would walk out after a out 30-50 rounds. For this price range I'd choose a g3c or gx4 all day long just my preference
😁👍
They fixed those issues over a decade ago. The Sccy is far safer than the Taurus G2 and G3 series which are FULLY COCKED when racked, and very dependent upon that manual safety lever for secure carry............................elsullo
@@elsullo2 I believe that's how all striker fire guns operate and many like Glock to name one doesn't even use a Manuel safety. Keep the booger hooker off the trigger and careful holstering is your safety.
@@elsullo2 X2
Awwwwe! Pinchin on your little Pinky😢😮😅
I will never buy any of the CPX series. I like the DVG-1 the most.
👍
DO NOT do dry rapid fire with the sky guns the hammer springs are not strong enough to handle heavy use I had to replace the hammer spring within a few weeks after purchasing this firearm. Basically don't ever dry fire this gun and don't try to fire it rapidly.
SCCY seems to be
a rebranded Keltec p11
which was really the first
of what the p365 made
a killing on... micro 10+1
Reason I sold my first one
and now have a p11 is
bcs the finger grooves
made the grip too
uncomfy
The Sccy is admittedly a modified Kel-tec P11, very nearly the same, as is that first Ruger pocket nine that conquered the world. Kel-tec never patents their designs! They think that other makers copying them is a compliment! I had a Kel-tec P11 for THIRTY YEARS and fired at least five hundred rounds of ammo through, and IT NEVER FAILED ONCE. It was still more accurate than I could be. I now have the Sccy CPX2 because it is PRETTY!..........................elsullo
@@elsullo2 Supposedly Joe Roebuck used to work at KelTec probably in the late 90s. so it being a P11 clone isn't surprising.
@@Wingnut353 yes he did, he was in on designing BOTH
Sorry guys. This gun is a real stinker. If not for its cheap price point it would have zero reason for existing. Scroll to 5:05 when he pulls the trigger and the whole gun shakes because not only is 9 pound pull terrible for a dao, but the trigger breaking at the very very back of the trigger guard is a sure solution to shoot with the outside tip of your finger high and left. This is also a chonky boy with little purchase. IF this is the only gun you can afford (and I keep seeing it for $169.00) then it is better than a harsh word and a sharp stick. I would suggest if you need to be budget minded, to invest about twice as much in a Ruger LCP Max. It is also a smallish gun, the DAO is about 6 pounds tops but I lube and polish, so I measure it about 5 pounds pretty consistently. Both sights are adjustable on the horizontal axis and replaceable with push sites of all kinds. Your life is worth the extra $150 and think of it this way: if you resell that sccy it will be worth a cup of coffee. The Ruger will be worth 3/4 of the value.
STFU,you trying to sound like you know something but you don't.If you've never shot one you should keep your mouth shut
Dude you must work for ruger
I have seen many reviews that Sccy is a real piece of crap. Is this a paid promotion?
We don't do paid promotions. We have reviewed several SCCYs and had good luck with them other that the one red dot that came apart. That part came with a SCCY but was actually a Crimson Trace unit. Overall, they are not comparable to a Walther or Glock but the are 1/2 the cost. Did those reviews hate them because they truly didn't work or just because they weren't fancy or finely turned?
@@HammerStriker because it doesnt say GLOCK on it... usually the same idiots that bash every gun except GLOCK because its not 'Uhmarkin' designed... I call em GLOCK SUCKERS... lol
I recently bought the SCCY CPX-2 gen 3. Shot it this weekend about 100 rounds with FMJ and HP's. No issues and very accurate ( 5 yards, lol), very happy with mine. I've seen these bad reviews as well, but I think SCCY has resolved these issues.
What you are watching,are little bitches and gun snobs crying about the trigger.
