SHOT Show 2019: SCCY CPX-3 .380 Auto

SCCY has released an updated version of their popular CPX line, the SCCY CPX-3. This pistol is similar to the CPX with some very nice upgrades. Currently chambered in .380 only, the CPX-3 was on display and we were able to get our hands on it at the 2019 SHOT Show.

The CPX-3 has a number of new features on the outside and in. On the outside, the CPX-3 features a flat top slide rather than the previous models which had more curvature. The slide is also currently only available in silver, with black to be available later in the year. Previous models of the CPX featured a fixed rear site where as this model has a new adjustable rear sight. The grip has been given a more streamlined look as well.

On the inside, the gun features the “Roebuck quad-lock”. The Quad-lock uses the rear barrel tension to press the front of the barrel into a V-channel. The quad-lock eliminates nearly all barrel movement and increase accuracy. The CPX-3 has an 8lb recoil spring which is a departure from the 15lb spring found in the CPX and CPX-2. The full feature list can be found below:
