While I've heard of the company, I've never held one or seen a review. Looks like a domestic company though, always glad to see a newcomer in the business.

Well, the gun reviews are not good. They are known to be sensitive to ammo and to cleaning. Some users report that the safety re-engages (an immediate disqualifier for defensive guns), and at least 2 repot having been cut by the gun.

Buy something known, dude. Get a real name brand and you won't be sorry.

AFAIK They're local to me (Florida). A few folks at the FloridaConcealedCarry boards carry them and have discussed them a few times. The concerns I have is that they do not have a firing pin block/drop safety, etc. The 'safety on the gun is the only safety' - being the manual safety (at least as of the last time I researched them). They also have a dedicated forum: SCCY Forum • Index page

It is nice seeing something new showing up..... but with it being a ghost out of no where I don't think I feel comfitable using it for a CCW.

Yeah.... that's the conclusion I came to last night, if I'm going to trust my life to it I want some backing (if that makes sense).

Thanks for the info! I'll check out the forum and see what I can find out.

The company has been around for a few years and was originally name SKKY until they got sued by the vodka maker. I own the cpx-1 model which received all of the bad reviews for the manual safety. Although in all other respects its a decent subcompact, the manual safety is a problem. My experiences at the range are that the safety does engage after a few shots just from my hand slipping up on the grip from the recoil.
They now sell the cpx-2 version without the safety.
If you are interested in a small, inexpensive, light weight 9mm the cpx-2 might be worth a look.

If I otherwise favored it, i would either learn to keep my thumb holding the safety down, as we all learn to do with a speed lever on the 1911, or I would use loctite or a set screw to keep the safety disengaged, if it is a DA type trigger? dunno.
