Very impressive and thorough review process. I own two of this pistol (mine and wife's) for the price of the one weapon we were looking to buy. We have over 500 rounds each through our weapons with no defaults other than the wife pressing up on the slide release with her supporting hand thumb and locking the slide open.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your review, very comprehensive, hope to see more in the future. I would really like to pick up a M&P Shield but money is tight at the moment. I really need a more concealable pistol. This looks like an excellent compromise until I'm able to afford an M&P Shield. Thank you again for the great review.
ReplyDeleteI have purchased the Black Frame Sccy CPX 2 starting serial # 078**** which was assembled 2013.
ReplyDeleteThe CPX 2 does not have a safety, but the trigger pull of 9 lbs. compensates for this. Your trigger finger does get tired for practice sessions but in real case circumstances you only would fire 1 or 2 rounds.
I did add "Traction Grips" costing less than $11.00 including shipping, they make for a snug fit, thin, easy install, simple design.
Out of the Box I did have a slipping trigger cam , but the gun fired over a 162 rounds, without failure to fire or eject.
I sent the Gun Back via my FFL dealer with the shipping label supplied by SCCY.
(***Caution Do Not Send YOUR GUN BACK via United States Postal Service Mail YOURSELF **** ITS A FEDERAL OFFENSE *** no ifs and but's about it)
SCCY had my Gun on a Monday and Returned it by Wednesday, replaced the Cam.
I have fired over 400 rounds with no failure to ejects and 2 misfires (only to fire on the second trigger pull.
For a 9mm 10 + 1 round, weights of less than 22 oz. fully loaded, 2 magazines that have both Flat Plate and Extended Finger Plates, Key Lock, Life Time Warranty,
4 3/8 " Height (Flat Mag Plate/Sights Included)
5 7/8 " Long
1 1/8 " Wide (Side Slide Lock Lever Included)
added Traction Grips
Total Cost including FFL transfer, Traction Grips, Return Postage for Cam Replacement.
Less than $325.00
Would I recommend the SCCY CPX2
Yes With Out a Doubt.
Would I feel safe having the SCCY CPX2 as a defense weapon.
Yes With Out a Doubt.

Once you put a round into the Barrel and Even if the Magazine is Removed the GUN WILL STILL FIRE.
ALWAYS ALWAYS Check your Weapon and keep it pointed down range. ALWAYS

Have not fired the cpx-2 yet but am happy it has no external safety. I bought the cpx-1 (first design) a few years ago and sold it within 2 weeks because the safety would engage often when I fired it as it recoiled against my thumb. I don't recall any other failures or problems. I handled the cpx-2 in the store and it seemed like the trigger was smoother than
ReplyDeletethe cpx-1 I had as well.
I enjoyed your very thorough article on this new to me pistol. I have read a few other reviews and that made me wonder at this comment. You said;
ReplyDelete"The CPX-2 seemed to shoot high. With the rear sight having no elevation adjustment, you will either need to adjust your sight picture or find a shorter rear sight."
It would seem to me that, since the rear sight is windage adjustable steel, and the front sight is polymer, that it would be more advantageous to replace the front sight with a taller, perhaps tritium type sight.
I am 'assuming' that such a suitable replacement type sight is available or could be easily modified to fit. If not, it would not be difficult to make a dovetail to accept many standard type sight bases.
Another option would be to use a plastic putty type epoxy and build up the front sight and then coating its face with a high visibility paint.
I just thought I'd offer my observations as, to my mind at least, better options than replacing the rear sight just to adjust for elevation.
