Good call and not a bad price. Make that 10 + 1 and you should have gotten 2Mags. For the required service, it should serve you well. Nice warrantee at that ....

Be Safe !!!

I have owned one for several years. No problems with mine, and I often carry it.

It is a pleasure to shoot and a perfect fit for my hands.

It eats my hand loads like candy.

Minorcan · October 25, 2016, 07:11 PM

I have had one for a few years. It has fired every time. No FTFeed or FTFire or FTEject. So, why do people knock the pistol? I like mine and have no plans of getting rid of it. Enjoy you new pistol.

CedarGrove357 · October 25, 2016, 09:13 PM

I can empirically say about SCCY is that they back up their product. Had a customer come in with an SCCY which had jammed open. It was quite dirty as well. I was able to dislodge the slide, and disassembled for cleaning. When I pulled the receiver out of the ultrasonic, I found the receiver had split completely on one side of the magwell and half way on the other side. It was so dirty that you couldn't see the splits when assembled.

I contacted the company and they completely replaced the firearm. Sent the old one back, sure enough, the company sent a brand new firearm.

Fox84 · October 26, 2016, 07:43 AM

Good to see the good replies. I have a Keltec PF9. Ruger LC9s and a Shield. I'll see how the Scyy compares

peggysue · October 26, 2016, 04:48 PM

I have 3 No problems with mine.It fits my large hand and loads like candy.

Ibmikey · October 27, 2016, 06:44 AM

My neighbor ran off with mine and is now his wear to church pistol. After a year i missed it enough that my FFL buddy ordered me another this week. Mine always stung my trigger finger but it was butt accurate.

peggysue · October 28, 2016, 04:33 AM

New SCCY's have a smooth trigger and many colors. Check Buds.

lamarw · October 28, 2016, 10:23 AM

Another approach is to buy the least expensive used one you can find anywhere like in a pawn shop or off GunBroker. The warranty is still 100% for the life of the pistol.

There are new changes to the warrantee and you have to get current. I believe it has something to do with the lost and stolen claims. As usual, the liars, cheaters and stealers, screwed it up for all of us. Still an exceptional warrantee and fine pistol.....

lamarw · October 28, 2016, 04:14 PM

^^^^ Yes, I am aware of this change. This change does not affect the normal warranty for regular warranty coverage.

My intended point is a user could purchase a used SCCY with no concern about getting a lemon without warranty coverage.

I purchased a used one back in 2014. I contacted SCCY looking for additional magazines. They informed it was one of their earlier models and offered me a brand new pistol with the works in exchange for the old one. It seems they had problems with the early guns under the name "SKY".

Fox84 · October 28, 2016, 05:47 PM

My range trip was far from I hoped for. FTF alot, about 30% . It seemed light primer strikes and not full battery. I would slap the back of the slide and pull the trigger again and it would fire. The primers had a very light mark on the rounds that fired.
I was shooting my 124 gr reloads with a CCI primer. I will try some 115gr factory stuff tomorrow and see.

Glad I had my Sig P320 and Keltec to run my reloads to save the trip!

peggysue · October 29, 2016, 05:35 AM

Using reloads? The manual for my SCCY 's says not to use reloaded ammo. Do try factory ammo.

I also have a black one...

One of the mods you may wish to consider...at least two manufacturer's have add on grips. I found that the added thickness, and less slick feel, was an improvement.

I have heard that you should remove any mods if you send it in for something. You will get a stock configuration back. Not uncommon with other companies I believe.

Also there is a SCCY forum. www.sccyforum.com
I'm sure some of you are aware of it.

Some have had problems, some have not. Some go away after some shooting. The forum has lots of discussion.

lamarw · October 29, 2016, 10:11 AM

A majority of my shooting with the CPX-2, mine is a dual tone, is with reloads. I use mixed brass and Winchester primers, unique powder and Precision Delta 115 gr. FMJ bullets. I have a zero failure rate.

It sounds like your issue is a failure to fire with light primer strikes. It could be the brand of primers or the pistol. As you plan to do, try some different ammunition. If this does not solve the problem, have SCCY send you a shipping label and let them sort it out.

The current status is unacceptable.

peggysue · October 29, 2016, 04:39 PM

SCCY 's says not to use reloaded ammo. Don't blame the gun dude.

Almost every gun manufacturer says not to use reloads, and many manuals even threaten that use of reloads will void the warranty. A good hand loader was probably making ammo in his first year that is easily more accurate and just as reliable/safe as factory ammo.

Fox84 · October 30, 2016, 05:57 AM

Same issues using Remington factory ammo and PMC ammo. Light primer strikes when the gun cycles to full battery. Two out of ten round slide will stop 1/4 inch from full battery. Three out of ten you have to pull the trigger twice

I looked at the spent case that came with the gun. It has a bulge in the case like it was fired out battery. It has a nice primer strike tho.

Front pin is walking out as well.

I have fired 175 rds thru this, so if it was a breaking in issue, I see no improvement

I'am sending the gun to SCCY

5whiskey · October 30, 2016, 09:54 AM

^^^yes mistakes can be made. I've certainly made a few as I learned. Now I would pit my loads with almost any factory ammo regarding accuracy, safety, and reliability. None the less, the "don't use reloads in our weapon" is due to liability, not because the firearm can't function with reloads.

Fox84 · October 31, 2016, 09:28 AM

I agree with you 5whiskey. My S&W, Ruger, Keltec, H&K, Tauras, Sig, Glock, Walther, RIA, and Berrata all run 100% with my reloads. The only ammo I buy is my self defense bullets.
I don't know why a Sccy Pistol would not run with the same.

After reading the SCCY Forums, I'am in for a real treat.
