Skky/Sccy CPX-1

[Guest Len]

Anyone have any experience with these? Came across one at a local pawn for what I thought then was a good price. Turned out I was wrong on the price, but I still thought the gun might be useful in some circumstances. All I know about these is that Skky was founded by an ex-Kel Tec employee and that Skky had to change to Sccy to avoid a dispute with the vodka people.

Anyone ever shot one of these?

I've never shot one, but I've witnessed one being fired... and subsequently fall apart (hammer broke off). I haven't heard any good things about them other than they are cheaper than Kel-Tec, but deservedly so.

I had one for a month or so, but never shot it.. I was looking for a pocket gun at a cheap price. I traded it for a Kel-Tec P11 because the trigger is better. I also used to be a capacity hog, the more rounds the better. The Skyy carried one more than the Kel-Tec. After having the Ket-Tec for the same time frame, I sold that and got a Kahr PM9. The Kahr is on a whole nother level in fit and finish.

With the Skyy you get what you pay for. Do not expect a lot for the money and you will be OK. I would say that if you are wanting something cheap as a back up, car gun, etc., you will propably be OK.

I think it was Sermon8r that had one for sale here a while back. It stayed a while if I recall.

Watching my cousins Skky pistol repeatedly malfunction and self destruct before making it through the first 100 round box of WWB 115 gr. was enough to tell me that I did not want one.

Check out the Skyy forum and I think that will do it for you. Did for me. When your own forum is not favorable, it's not a good sign. http://www.skyyforum.com/

Yes I had one... traded my P-11 for it.

never shot it ... other than a pencil ... test firing pin....but carried it some.

IWB and pocket carry is tough with the safety levers on the side.

sold it and got another P-11

Ditto.

They called me to become a dealer and I checked out the comments. Customer service got generally high marks. Production quality generally sucked. I passed on carrying them.

I've had one student bring one to a Carry Permit class. After the gun malfunctioned about 10 times on less than 5 rounds, we loaned him another gun.

I found the forum shortly after I posted here originally. Even the Skky "fans" are ambivalent at best.

Thanks for the feedback all!
