Who's going to pony up and try it out???

Recommended Posts

I was in my LGS yesterday to purchase a new Taurus TX22.  While waiting on the TICS to go through, I noticed a new SCCY Pistol with a RD on it.  Before I could ask to see to see it, the TICS was completed and my mind went SQUIRREL and I was headed home with my new purchase (which I am very impressed with, BTW, but have not shot it yet).  Last night, I did a little research on the SCCY RD and found out they released a new striker fired pistol, called the DVG-1 and it comes with a CT Red Dot, with motion activated On (no button to push) and a battery life of 20K hours. MSRP is $389, but if my failing memory serves me correctly, this was about $299.

So who has one or is willing to pony up for one and give us a review? Don't be shy!  I know some of you actually own a SCCY pistol.  I can't find a range report anywhere on the internet! Just a bunch of Shotshow reviews and SCCY promotional views, one of which I have attached?  I may very well go put it in lay-a-way later this week.  But no way i am bring it home any time soon.  I've bought too many this year as it is and I actually like being married. 🙂

My guess is that what you saw was a CPX-1RD or CPX-2RD (DAO) pistol. The DVG-1 and DVG-1RD (striker) seems to be made of unobtainium at this point.

I’ll let you know. I’m going back to check it out. If it’s the DVG-1RD, it’s going in lay-a-way.

I saw one(Yes it was a verified DVG-1. I was actually waiting to grab it.) in the hands of a person that had absolutely no business buying one Saturday. Yes, that's a very harsh statement to make. But after about 15 minutes of hold and waving it around, then buying it, paying 40 bucks for a box of 115 gr; the lady tried to load it in the shop so she could put in her purse before going outside. You had to be there! I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or just run away from her.

I'll be interest in hearing the sales figures for 1/1 thru 1/20. It should be record breaking.

Now I’m intrigued and want to actually hold one. 

To me, they feel like the old Kel-tec PF9. I owned one of them for a very short while. It was brutal to shoot. I ran one mag and sold it as fast as I could. jmo

Hopefully the SKYY will be better.

You were correct,  They were super busy, so I didn't ask to see it.  I will wait on the DVG1-RD. 

One thing SCCY does have going for it, is the weight. It's 2 oz lighter than my Ruger LC9S Pro that's my daily carry and only 1 oz more than my S&W 442, that I carry when I hike.  And it's 10 rounds vs, 7/9 and 5. Not real keen on the trigger though on the CPX2.  I think Galloway Precision makes a trigger kit for it, though.

I don't see a kit from Galloway listed.  But there is a spring kit from Mcarbo that supposed to drop the pull from around 7 to about 4 (give or take one pound):

I doubt it does anything for the long trigger pull though.

That is why I only have 3 lightweight pistols, one .22 one in .25 acp and one in .32 acp 

the 22 is Ruger SR22, mid size, lightweight, just a joy to shoot. The SCCY in .380 should be manageable.

But they aren't found on their website under trigger kits, via search, or on the SCCY parts page:
