Description
If you want a small 9mm that will not eat a whole paycheck, the SCCY DVG-1 Black Safety deserves a hard look. This one has a black frame, a 3.1″ 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.
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 DVG-1 Black Safety
Going with 9mm means cheap practice, easy-to-find ammo and a long list of proven defensive loads. It is the round most carriers settle on.
The DVG-1 is SCCY’s striker-fired pistol. Instead of the long double-action pull on the CPX guns, you get a shorter, lighter trigger of about 5.5 pounds. If you shoot other striker guns, it will feel familiar right away.
This version adds a manual thumb safety on top of the striker design, a nice option if you want that extra step before the gun will fire.
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 DVG-1 is for
The DVG-1 makes the most sense for first-time carriers, people on a budget, and anyone who wants a backup gun that disappears under a T-shirt. It is also a common pick for a vehicle or nightstand gun because it is simple to operate under stress.
Before you carry it, put a couple hundred rounds through it at the range so you know the trigger and how it groups. Pair it with a good holster that covers the trigger guard, and keep a spare magazine handy. Extra SCCY magazines are cheap and worth having.

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.
