Description
Looking for a 9mm carry gun that is easy to hide and easy to afford? The SCCY CPX-2 Black Gen 3 Safety checks both boxes. This one has a black frame, a 3.1″ barrel and holds 10 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber. It is small enough for pocket or appendix carry and still big enough to shoot well.
Black is the safe bet. It looks all business, it hides wear, and it never draws a second look when your shirt rides up.
Why people choose the SCCY CPX-2 Black Gen 3 Safety
9mm is the most popular handgun round in the country for good reason. Practice ammo is cheap, it is on every store shelf, and there are plenty of solid defensive loads to choose from.
Every CPX-2 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.
This model has a ambidextrous manual thumb safety. Some people want that extra step, especially if they are new to carrying or keep the gun in a bag or vehicle.
There is a short Picatinny rail up front if you want to add a compact light or laser.
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-2 is for
Who is it for? Mostly people who want a dependable, small 9mm without spending big money. New shooters like how simple it is, and experienced carriers often buy one as a backup or a hot-weather gun.
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-2 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.
