Thread 64148852

So are they crap or decent and is the reason why they are hated is because they have bad recoil from what I heard

>>64148852 (OP)
idk I lost mine like 2 years ago and still haven't found it. it was kinda shitty to shoot but worked fine.

>>64148852 (OP)
They're shit, they look like shit, no one wants them used either

>>64149140
How so

>>64148852 (OP)
If you get one that actually works, it's just an unremarkable mini9. IF you get one that works

>>64149292
Is the dvg 9 -1 better

>>64149380
No, just get a Ruger Max 9. It actually works

>>64148852 (OP)
The owner is based, the warranty is based. People just hate on them because they're the new Taurus style punching bag. SCCY and Hi Point are made in the USA motherfuckers

>>64149741
>SCCY and Hi Point are made in the USA motherfuckers
Yeah, it shows

RIP
They're up with Phoenix now plucking the harp in shitty cheap gun manufacturer
Shame, I thought they had potential to grow and improved
They were former kel tec guys right?

*shitty gun manufacturer heaven

>>64148852 (OP)
At least one of their models had a tendency to explode. The guns were briefly shilled for a while in spite of safety and QC issues, especially by r*dditors and it was not convincingly organic either.
If you want a compact/subcompact 9mm, it's best to just save up for something better.

>>64148852 (OP)
its not fun to shoot but there are only like 5 parts to this gun and it is reliable. i own 2, the first was my first gun ever, the 2nd i sniped an auction ending in the middle of the night for $50 nib.
its basically a not ugly hipoint that has a snappier recoil. they're alright budget entries made in america.

>>64150187
i dont know what safety issues youre talking about, but the cpx-3 was apparently a misfeeding turd. the cpx1 and 2 models were good.

>>64150081
I wonder how much New York's lawfare contributed to their financial issues.

>>64149140
spbp
They're absolute dog shit. I'd rather own a HiPoint. Oh wait, I do.

>>64152746
theyre not that bad. they sold a million guns between 2017 and 2023 so at least that many people wanted one

>>64148891
Lol my buddy found one, we just handed it in to the cops though. In hindsight we probably should have kept it.

sccy is out of business from what i thought

>>64149380
the dvg9 shot fine for me, alot like a taurus just a tad more janky. alot of issues witht he cpx series

>>64152746
>tripnigger has a shitty opinion
I am shocked

in a world where you can get a brand name flagship model pistol for like 300 dollars (normally with a few extra mags) why tf would you cheap out on a succy?

inb4 the tired
>UHHH is the 300 dollar gun twice as good as the 150 dollar gun?
yes, because it will function twice as often.

>>64153939
i agree with your statement but the smith and wesson equalizer is just a shitty pistol to shoot

>>64153939
I swear every time I look away S&W introduces a new gun. What's this thing even about? What possible polymer pistol microniche remains unexploited?

>>64148852 (OP)
One of the only guns gunshot where I was like, I’m good after a couple mags.

>>64153996
They’re trying to copy sig and have a gun that fires of its own accord

>>64153920
yeah, they're toast. but theres still going to be about millions sccys floating around. you can pick one up for very little. not that im saying you should.
there just seems to be a couple of faggots in here that are always the guy saying WOW THATS WORST THING EVER when they have no experience on the matter. >>64153939
like this guy that doesn't get that for poor people the difference between $200 and $400 is a lot of money.

they're ok guns. not fun too shoot, but they will shoot. and they had their market segment for poor people that wanted to buy american and did not want or could not legally buy a hipoint.

>>64156031
I just never saw the draw over something like ruger's budget guns or kel tec

>>64148852 (OP)
Not great, not terrible. The trigger is shit, feels like a toy gun's trigger, they have feed problems with hollow points, or polymer tips - even after polishing the feed ramp. But, I've shot 500+ green box FMJs through mine without a single problem. The recoil is somewhat snappy, but nothing to write home about. Only a complete pussy, or a woman, would complain about the recoil. Their warranty was bretty good, too. I had minor rust on the slide, called them, they told me to email pics of the slide with serial number, and they sent me a new one. They paid for shipping my old one to them, and the new one to me. People beat the living shit out of them on YT, and they continued to function like new, so, more than you can say for pistols 3x their price. And a bonus it's never went off in my holster like a P320, nor ever exploded like a Glock or jammed from "limp wristing". Those pistols being 3X it's price and supposedly having superior craftsmanship couldn't do what a $220 throw-away pistol could. And I liked the DA trigger, even though it feels like an oldschool toy gun trigger.
>>64149140
I think they're one of the better looking cheap pistols on the market.

>>64156078
probably the lifetime no questions asked warranty, or just the look of it when considering similar prices. they never had reliability issues besides their first runs of the cpx3, up until that point they were generally recommended as the bargain bin entry.

>>64156078
Did Ruger even offer a 9mm budget gun in the same price range as the SCCY CPX-2 gen 2? A cheap compact 9mm that holds 10+1 is hard to find, even now. Them and Kel-Tec are about the same, and no wonder seeing as the guy that started SCCY was originally at Kel-Tec. Kel-Tec's 9mm was good enough to kill St. Martin with one shot, so, good enough for me.

>>64156090
Though unstated, ruger effectively offers a lifetime warranty

>>64156119
Not the same capacity but the EC9 is right at the $200 if your ruger distributor isn't fucking you ove.
Security 9 is similar but they stopped stocking it at bi mart so idk what the current fair price is

>>64156090
>they never had reliability issues
Most of those reliability issues came from people trying to shoot steel case ammo, or hollow points out of it, when 10 seconds of research would tell you not to do that. I've never had luck with hollow points or polymer tips in my CPX-2. I even tried polishing the feed ramp as the polymer tips seemed to catch on it, so I thought that would help. Nope. FMJ were fine, though, and will kill someone just as fast as hollow points. And a bonus is they're cheaper to shoot, and they'd be the same bullets I practiced with that I carried in it, so, I would know exactly how they behaved when shot. A lot of retards shoot cheap ammo at the range, and carry expensive gucci ammo for defense and never practice with the actual ammo they EDC because they're too expensive to shoot so they have no idea how that gucci bullet behaves out of their gun, nor how to adjust for it when it's a life or death situation.

>>64156173
>Not the same capacity but the EC9 is right at the $200 if your ruger distributor isn't fucking you ove.
I don't think it was released until a good 5 years after I bought my CPX-2 gen 2. Prices are similar, now, don't know about back then, and -3 capacity is a pretty big deal. The Ruger looks effectively like a CPX-2 clone, shitty colors and all.

>>64156173
dealer price on a security 9 from rsr for me is like $250; they sometimes run specials and knock $20-40 off if they have an overstock of a color or SKU

>>64156174
im not going to say you didnt have problems with that ammo, but i can just as anecdotally tell you that ive fed 300 rounds of cheap steel cases through a cpx2. yeah it was a generalization, but generally speaking, they were considered reliable. where would these failures to feed or eject fall in other gun brands?

>>64156208
>looks effectively like a CPX-2
Well yeah, it's the stripper model of the striker version of their kel tec PF9 clone, the LC9. They share common lineage.
If the EC9 wasn't available when I bought it I may have easily chosen it instead since bi mart stocked them as well.

>>64156244
>im not going to say you didnt have problems with that ammo
With standard Winchester 115 gr FMJ? Why would I have a problem shooting it? That's like the most basic of ammo, and 500 isn't a ridiculous amount.
>but i can just as anecdotally tell you that ive fed 300 rounds of cheap steel cases through a cpx2
Good for you, I guess. Anecdotes are all you're going to get on /k/, and 99% of the internet for that matter.
>yeah it was a generalization, but generally speaking, they were considered reliable.
What are you even trying to say?
>where would these failures to feed or eject fall in other gun brands?
Who knows. I'm surprised they got steel case Tula ammo and the Federal JHPs to even feed, let alone reliably over 100+ of them. Might pick up a box or two of the Federal 147 Grain HST JHP to see if they feed any better.

And I'll post the link for your pic, since you couldn't be bothered to.

Can confirm the hollowpoint feed issue. I CC the thing cus its easy, and will do in a pinch.
But it is a cheap piece of crap.

>>64156433
>*jacks off*

>>64156452
Have you tried Federal 147 Grain HST JHP like the link from >>64156433 did? They seemed to have gotten it to feed somewhat reliably. I picked up some peel and stick grips for mine years ago on Amazon (IIRC) and they're still holding up great, and make shooting with sweaty hands much better. Do you have grips on yours?

>tactical argument retreat where you consneed thst the sccy isnt great but at least its cheaper
>invents a militant anti-sccy strawman so he sounds like the voice of reason.

how about stop impulse buying shit and learn to save money.

>>64156491
yeah thats what i thought bud, just flail some more

>>64156507
speaking of inventing arguments! when you're done here you should lecture the poor people of america to have better financial responsibility

Only gun that exploded on me.
Not a fan.

>>64150081
Wonder if anyone's going to buy their tooling

>>64148852 (OP)
crackhead gun, worse than a hi point.
