Design and materials

The SCCY INDUSTRIES CPX-1 GEN 3 pairs a 7075 T6 aircraft-grade, heat-treated aluminum receiver with a Zytel polymer frame that incorporates an integral recoil cushion on the backstrap. That mix of materials keeps overall weight low while offering a rigid core for consistent slide-to-frame interaction. The slide is machined from stainless steel and features a Zytel overmolded polymer extension to simplify manipulation — a useful touch for users prioritizing ease of use under stress.

Controls, safety, and trigger

This DAO design uses an internal hammer with an inertial firing pin to mitigate the risk of accidental discharge, and an external thumb safety with a molded guard provides an intuitive manual block. The smooth, consistent 9-pound trigger pull is deliberate by design for carry pistols, balancing safety with the ability to deliver accurate shots. The Gen 3 upgrades include improved sights and an upgraded grip pattern that help with acquisition and control during rapid strings of fire.

Capacity and accessories

The pistol ships with two 10-round magazines, each fitted with finger extension bases installed, plus two flat magazine bases for concealment choices. A factory Picatinny rail on the Gen 3 allows for compact lights or lasers to be mounted if you need low-light capability. At a price point of $259.99, the SCCY INDUSTRIES CPX-1 GEN 3 represents one of the most value-oriented precision-made pocket pistols on the market.
