Overview and build quality

The SCCY INDUSTRIES CPX-1 GEN 3 is engineered as a precision pocket pistol that remains large enough for a firm grip while staying compact for concealed carry. The receiver uses 7075 T6 aircraft-grade, heat-treated aluminum alloy for strength without excessive weight. The Zytel polymer frame includes an integral recoil cushion on the backstrap that improves control and follow-up accuracy. The slide is machined from stainless steel and features a Zytel overmolded polymer extension to aid reloads and slide manipulation.

Safety, trigger, and controls

This DAO platform uses an internal hammer with an inertial firing pin to minimize the risk of accidental discharge from drops or impacts. An external thumb safety, with a molded-in guard on the frame, gives an added manual layer for those who prefer it. Expect a smooth, consistent 9-pound trigger pull typical of this design philosophy—deliberate but manageable for defensive work.

Accessories, magazines, and Gen3 upgrades

The CPX-1 ships with two 10-round magazines fitted with finger extension bases, plus two flat magazine bases for deeper concealment. The Gen 3 iteration adds a Picatinny rail for lights or lasers, upgraded sights for faster target acquisition, and an improved grip texture—features that elevate utility in everyday carry. At a retail price of $259.99, it positions itself as one of the best-priced, precision-made pocket pistols on the market.
