Wuz browsing ARMSLIST. (Too tight-fisted to pay to go to a movie.)
Ran into this cheeeeeeep-ie 10-round 9mm carry handgun priced at $219 from DE Guns in Lincoln. It's an SCCY CPX-2*.
Prissily thought to self: "What Damfool would gamble his personal self-defense against such a cheap piece of plastic?" Just because it's cheep and looks kinda cool?
But being a Curious Type, I did some websearching. Started w/Hickok45, who is the Grandaddy Guru of Practical Handgunnery Videos. (And one super handgun shot, BTW.)
Anyhow, H45 has a 25-minute review of this little SCCY Booger that unclicked my negativity button.
Plus another 20-minute gun-torture review by iraqveteran8888, where he dropped the gun in the mud, then shot a full mag underwater. Threw it off a 20-foot roof, shot full mag. Ran over it several times with his truck, shot it some more. Drenched it in maple syrup, and then shot it without a hitch. I won't mention the peanut butter test and the other odd trials he put it through. Kinda like a standard Glock test.
So I'm starting to twitch for one of these SCCY CPX-2 Cheepies.
Anybody on this Forum got one? Shot one?

*BTW, it has a Full Lifetime Guarantee. On the gun.

I've looked at them but have no experience with them. The reviews Ive read have generally been good, but I seem to recall hearing about problems with the early production pistols.

First gen SCCY's had some issues, second gen is just fine. Of the close to 100+that Randy and Cruze have sold at Thunder Alley, they've sent back 1 or two for repairs, and one was user error. (Squibbed a handload and nicked the barrel drilling it out, they replaced free o' charge.)
