sccy 9mm range report

[usnbud]

Hi, I rarely post, just lurk a lot and take in the info! I had been looking for a pistol in 9mm or .45 to carry in my hydration pack when riding my dirtbike. Ive got several handguns, but wanted something that wouldn't be too heavy or too nice to get banged around. I picked up a sccy cpx-1 at the Outpost earlier this week for 200 bucks and took it to the range this morning. I put 150 rounds of speer lawman 124 grain and 150 rounds of Remington umc 115 grain through it.  It performed perfectly, no jams, no fte's, nothing. It was pie-plate accurate out to 10 yards, which is all I expect from it. Recoil is a little snappy but not bad . ( my 13 yo daughter shot about 50 rounds and didn't complain), I have several other high-end pistols, but this is one that suits my needs perfectly. I guess my reason for this post is Ive read pros and cons, watched videos, etc , but it far exceeded my expectations. If I only had a budget of 200 for a pistol, this would be the one.

Thanks for the report.  With SCCY moving to Blount County there may be some increased interest in them.

Good info Bud.

I had posted a bit about my experience with the SCCY CPX-1 in another thread. I was quite pleasantly surprised with my SCCY's reliability and "shootability", especially for such an inexpensive and light weight handgun. I actually like it's revolver-like trigger system, and being hammer fired, it's second strike capability, especially for a novice shooter, or a non-dedicate shooter as it relates to training to "run the gun".

I paid $200.00 for mine as well. If I run across another at that price I'll probably grab it up.

Good review and thanks for sharing!  Post up some pics of it when you get a chance.

I have not seen SCCY for less than $239 around here (Sevierville, TN).  $200 sounds good. 

I don't own one, like the feel of them (only have dry fired at gun dealer) and would like to shoot one to see if I do better than with my Taurus.  I have a TAURUS PT 111 Millennium, $189 bought a couple yearss ago. Taurus seems reliable and I like the feel of it. However, I am not very accurate with it. 

I practice some at least once a month, but limit 9MM practice to around 50 rounds cause of AMMO Cost (say $.20+ a round). I shoot the 22 RUGER more cause AMMO is cheaper (say $.06+ a round). I am more accurate with it.

Not sure I would buy another 9MM  as I am not into owning  a bunch of guns - maybe trade TAURUS for something I like better. 

Seems some good buys on S&W with rebates going on now. Like to try one of those also.

This is the one I purchased,  it came with flat magazine plates in the box and I swapped one to take up less room in my pack.  Overall very happy with it, light accurate reliable so far, easy to take down and clean, and a lifetime warranty.  Didn't want to add a caliber so I wanted another 9mm.

Have you shot it yet?

US you beat me to it lol.  I bought a CPX2 several weeks ago and have put 140 rounds thru it.   Very satisfied for what it is.  Some folks simply are not 'gun guys' or don't want to tie up a lot of money to lay on a shelf or keep on a car.  I paid 206 out the door.  My main interests were would it hold up and could one with weak arthritic hands manipulate it.  The slide lock is large and simple and a 75 yo women worked it much better than any other auto she tried other than a 22 compact.  So as of now I would recommend it for non- shooters that want an inexpensive gun.  It does shoot accurately with good simple sights, long double-action only trigger with 2nd strike capability.  And oh yes, great color selection

One of my early purchases in the late 80's was a KT P-11. Ignoring the whole KT vs SCCY thang, from what I read they seem to be a great value for the price.

I've heard about this company coming to Tn. and have looked at them on their site. Nice looking guns and have heard good reviews. I wish they would come out with other calibers. Bigger calibers would require a bigger gun design though. Might not ever happen..........

I’d give $200 for one of those just to try it out. Is that the normal price at Outpost or was it a sale?

[usnbud]

dave, it was on sale. I think its through june 30th. it was 224 prior to the sale.
