SCCY CPX-4

CPX-4 in the SCCY Lineup

SCCY produces several pistol models all sharing the same commitment to American manufacturing and exceptional value. The CPX-2 and CPX-1 are their 9mm DAO pistols — the most popular SCCY models. The CPX-4 extends the lineup to .380 ACP for buyers who prefer the smaller caliber's reduced recoil, smaller package, or ammunition cost in a micro-compact carry format. The DVG-1 is SCCY's striker-fired variant. The CPX-4 is the .380 ACP option in the SCCY family.

Key Features

.380 ACP chambering — The CPX-4's defining characteristic. .380 ACP produces less felt recoil than 9mm — meaningful in a small, light pistol where recoil is more pronounced. For shooters who find 9mm micro-compacts snappy, the CPX-4's .380 ACP chambering delivers a more controllable shooting experience in the same compact format.

10+1 capacity — 10 rounds of .380 ACP is competitive with other micro-compact .380 pistols and sufficient for defensive carry purposes.

DAO trigger — Double-action-only with a consistent pull weight on every shot. No external manual safety to manage — the DAO trigger's longer, heavier pull serves as the primary safety mechanism, similar to a revolver's trigger system.

SCCY Lifetime Warranty — SCCY backs every CPX-4 with their lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship — transferable to subsequent owners. One of the strongest warranties in the firearms industry regardless of price point.

American-made — SCCY manufactures in Daytona Beach, Florida.

CPX-4 vs. CPX-2

The CPX-2 is SCCY's 9mm DAO pistol — more powerful, same general platform, same DAO trigger, same lifetime warranty. The CPX-4 is .380 ACP — less recoil, slightly more compact, lower ammunition power. For most defensive carry buyers, the 9mm CPX-2 is the stronger choice for its superior terminal performance. The CPX-4 is the right choice for shooters who specifically want .380 ACP — recoil-sensitive shooters, backup gun use, or those who prefer the .380's handling characteristics in a pocket-sized pistol.

CPX-4 vs. Ruger LCP vs. Glock 42

The CPX-4 competes in the micro-compact .380 market with the Ruger LCP Max and Glock 42. The CPX-4's advantages are its 10+1 capacity (matching the LCP Max, beating the G42's 6+1) and SCCY's lifetime warranty at a price point that undercuts both competitors. The Glock 42 has the most refined trigger and broadest aftermarket. The Ruger LCP Max has the most proven track record at its size. The CPX-4 delivers the best value: maximum capacity, lifetime warranty, lowest price.
