SCCY's

StanUpchurch · Feb 25, 2013

I need a carry gun that is small. I've heard about the Sccy's as being small.
How do they shoot and how would they work as a small carry. I'm in a
wheelchair and use a belly bag.

I have never had one but there are some pretty negative reviews out there. What about a Khar or one of the baby glocks?

I can't read you post because your font is too pretty.

Stan, here are a couple of small pistols you might consider. Either would fit in a belly bag nicely. Top is a Kahr CW-40, bottom is a Keltek P3AT in .380 Both are totally reliable.

I have a Ruger LC9 and LCP. Both are very small and very nice guns.

I agree with Dennis
I am a Glock fan but my two most carried guns are my kahr CW 9 & keltec P3AT

I like the Taurus 738 for a small .380.

Those Taurus are very inexpensive. I need to get one and the kel Tek .380 to do a little side by side comparison.

I did a table top side by side comparison between the Taurus .380 and the KelTek .32 auto my dad carries. I found that I like the Taurus just a bit better due to the last round hold open. Neither the KelTec or the Ruger has that one small feature. Other than that they are all about the same for the way they feel and size. I only gave $250 for mine with a nice holster, some grip extensions and a Pacmyer grip sleve.

If we ever manage to meet up at a match I'll let you check out mine.

I helped my friend do a stress test on a SCCY CPX-2. When I was shooting it the trigger bar broke.

I'd save up just a bit and get a LC9 instead.

I am a dealer and I carried SCCY's once... once. I will not sell them to customers for a defensive weapon. I had ordered 6 with the first shipment direct from SCCY and out of those 6, 3 came back. They jam. They have a safety (on the models with a safety) that will engage when the weapon is fired. I know there are a few articles out there that claim how great they are, I think they were paid to make them sound awesome.
There are better options out there.
I know they are guaranteed for life but, to quote "Tommy Boy" "Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of elephant dung. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time."
