Hereof, is the Sccy CPX 1 9mm a good gun?
The CPX-1 is very compact and nearly identical in size to a Kel-Tec P-11. This is a good size for a concealed carry piece—large enough to shoot well, but small enough to carry easily. This gun would work in a large, baggy pocket, but it will probably be carried on a belt by most people.
Beside above, what is the difference between Sccy CPX 1 and CPX 2? The only difference between the two models is that the CPX-1 has a manual safety and the more recent CPX-2 does not. The DAO trigger is a solid safety, weighing in at 9 pounds, but smooth and consistent. This is partly due to the use of an inertial firing pin that also makes them drop-safe.
Keeping this in view, are Sccy pistols reliable?
The SCCY CPX-2 is not the most accurate handgun out in the market, but reliability trumps accuracy in a defensive handgun. If you want to shoot in bullseye competition, this is not the gun to go with, but hands down it is accurate enough for self-defense.
