I got it the first of the week, but haven't shot it yet.
It was bigger and especially a lot thicker than I thought.
Looks like a larger jazzed up Kel-Tec. I have had a P-32 for years that easily drops in the pocket. This (CPX-2) might work in a big pocket, but I'll probably work up a belt rig under a loose shirt or jacket.

I've been handling and warming up to it. Easier to manage the more I practice. With about average or smaller hands, it is best to use a two handed grip. Kind of reminds me of holding a P-64 in size, but the SCCY is much lighter, due to the polymer as opposed to all steel (P-64).

Nothing like the natural feel of a 1911 !

I tried it in a regular Levis jeans pocket. It did fill up the pocket and I could see the butt of the gun just visible... Its not easy or smooth to get it out of a regular jeans pocket. I decided I wouldn't be able to deploy it from the pocket quickly if I ever needed to.

It is basically a P11 Kel-tec with some cosmetic changes

I have some experience with the CPX-1 and CPX-2 through the gun shop I used to work. I believe the SCCY guns are quite reliable as long as you do the maintenance on it (like any gun). My biggest complaint about them is the ergonomics. It feels like a slightly squished brick in my hand. It was a little fat in all the wrong places but I don't have the largest hands to begin with. It was plenty accurate and fed every type of target ammo we sent its way (no aluminum or steel cased stuff). We used it as a rental demo gun so customers could try one before they bought it. It went for thousands of rounds before anything broke. We managed to break an ejector and crack a frame after 5K rounds or so. SCCY customer service is top notch. They sent me a new ejector free of charge. When the frame cracked they had a new one waiting before the broken one arrived at their shop. Very professional wonderful folks.

My small CCW gun is a Kel Tec PF-9. I did some reliability work to it and keep it well maintained. I have only had one issue when another person shot it. I believe it was a misfeed from limp wristing. The only reason I have the PF-9 is because Glock waited too long to release the 43 and I needed a small 9mm.

I had a KelTec PF9 a couple of years ago mainly for pocket carry but never really warmed up to it. The trigger pull was very heavy and gritty and the gun's design ergonomics just didn't work for me. Traded it on a P3AT which while it still has a so-so trigger, due to it's .380 caliber and smaller overall size it's a lot easier to pocket carry. This SCCY CPX-2 does interest me though in that it carries 10+ rounds of 9mm., is relatively inexpensive, looks like it has decent build quality, and seems to have slightly better ergonomics than the KelTec offerings in the same caliber. Will definitely have to check one out next time I'm at the LGS or area gun show.

I bought a CPX-2 for my wife. It had two issues that made it a no-go for her.

1st, the trigger return was weak, causing her to have problems with follow up shots. I corrected that by taking a turn off the spring.

The second problem wasn't really a problem with the CPX-2, but with any auto-loader I have gotten her since as well, she simply cannot rack the slide due to arthritis in her hands.

If you have problems with failure to extract with the PF9, adding a second flat spring on top of the first, with the new 6–32 screw with another thread or two may fix the problem. Worked great for me. The slightly longer screw is important, otherwise firing pin may escape, The spring screw also stops it .

The writer confused ejector with extractor, but her points are good.

Re: Post # 34:

Sounds like she should try some revolvers.

A second option might be the Beretta tip up barrel type semi's.Taurus also has a few.
