Description
The SCCY CPX-3 Black Stainless is a .380 ACP compact built to ride on your belt all day without wearing you out. This one has a black frame and stainless steel slide, a 3.10″ barrel and holds 10 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber. It is light, slim and simple to run, which is exactly what most people want from a carry pistol.
All-black is the classic carry look for a reason. It disappears in a holster and goes with everything.
Why people choose the SCCY CPX-3 Black Stainless
The .380 ACP round is softer shooting than 9mm in a small pistol, so follow-up shots are easier and range days are more fun.
Every CPX-3 is double-action-only and hammer-fired. Each pull of the trigger cocks and drops the hammer, so the pull is long, around 9 pounds, and it is the same every shot. Nothing sits partly cocked, and if a round ever fails to fire you can simply pull the trigger again for a second strike.
There is no manual thumb safety on this one. The long, deliberate trigger pull does that job, the same idea as a double-action revolver, so you just draw and press.
Inside, SCCY uses its Roebuck Quad-Lock barrel system and a polymer frame around an aluminum chassis. The result is a pistol that stays light without feeling flimsy.
Who the CPX-3 is for
It is a strong choice if this is your first carry pistol, if you want a second gun for the car or the house, or if you just want something light enough that you will actually carry it every day.
A few tips once it arrives: get a quality holster that fully covers the trigger guard, run a box or two of practice ammo through it before you carry, and try a couple of defensive loads to see what your pistol likes best. Small guns reward practice, and the CPX-3 is no different.

How buying a handgun online works
We do not ship firearms to your door. Every gun ships to a licensed FFL dealer that you pick at checkout. When it arrives, you fill out the federal Form 4473, the dealer runs your background check, and you take it home. You need to be at least 21 to buy a handgun from a dealer.
Some states and cities limit which models or magazine sizes can be sold. Please check your local laws before you order. If we cannot legally ship to your area, we will cancel the order and refund you in full. See our FFL transfer page for the full details.
