The CPX-3 is the first .380 ACP pistol manufactured by SCCY. I found it interesting because it produced some very nice groups with a variety of ammunition. The gun's ability to shoot good groups repeatedly gave me a reason to pause. In most small guns of this nature, the lock up is not exactly super consistent and as such they tend to produce larger groups. The key to their exceptional lock up is the innovative Roebuck Quad-Lock system. The primary goal of the design is to improve barrel stability and accuracy. The CPX-3 is really in a bit of a size class by itself as well. It is not quite a full size yet it is not a micro pistol either. What it is, is easy to handle. It has a good balance of weight and size that helped me manage recoil. The grip on the gun follows this balance of size and houses a staggered 10 round magazine.
