Nice-Price Nine: SCCY CPX-2 

OK, it’s easy to get jaded in this business. Everyone has something “new,” everything has something that “hasn’t been done before,” and if I hear one more time the current en vogue business phrases of “next level” or “in our DNA” I’m going to hurl. Breakfast, objects, invectives, something, anything.

Well, I had a recent chance to actually see a case of someone being different. In this case, SCCY—pronounced “sky”—and their new handguns. What we have here, in the CPX-2, is a compact carry 9 with a 10-shot magazine. Both versions of the slide are machined from stainless steel bar stock. The black version carries a black nitride finish; the two-tone version is a stainless steel that’s been ceramic bead-blast finished by hand. The barrel is also stainless and machined from bar stock. The receiver, internal to the polymer frame, is 7075-T6 aluminum (the same heat-treatment that mil-spec ARs get) and is also machined from billet.
