So In he last month the weather has allowed me to finally get to the range a few times.
A few weekends ago I met a couple their who had just bought a SCCY 9mm,,,
The one they had was the CPX-2 model with no external safety.
After we chatted a bit they graciously allowed me to run three mags through their gun,,,
In return I allowed them to each shoot a cylinder through my S&W 629.
I have to say that I was pleased with the overall performance and handling of the SCCY,,,
I fired 20 rounds of my 9mm ball ammo and ten rounds of JHP with no problems.
I was hitting just as well with it at 25 feet as I did with my Ruger LC9,,,
And to tell the truth the SCCY fit my hand a little better,,,
That meant less felt recoil than my Ruger.
So after that experience I am now thinking that this might be an affordable gift for a college graduate.
I often take the kids I work with (I work at a state university) to the range,,,
One young lady goes with me as often as she can and enjoys it,,,
She even applied for and got her Oklahoma Carry Permit.
She's graduating this May and I was considering giving her one of my lesser used handguns,,,
But this SCCY is so inexpensive that I'm considering buying a new one for her,,,
Buds Gun Shop has them for $191.00.
Add the $5.73 for the 3% credit card fee and $20.00 to my LGS for transfer fee,,,
I can get her a brand new CPX-2 for a total cost of only $216.73.
That's an amount I can freely spend without hurting my bank account.
So my question is this,,,
The CPX-1 has a manual safety while the CPX-2 doesn't,,,
Would that make any significant difference in the trigger pull or weight?
They are both advertised as having a 9 lb trigger pull,,,
My finger isn't an accurate scale but I didn't find it to have a hard pull,,,
I'm thinking with a 9 lb trigger the gun really doesn't need a manual safety.
So I'm 99% convinced to get her a SCCY pistol,,,
I'm just undecided as to which model.
Whaddaya good people think?

P.S. She really likes my LC9 in the Lady Lilac color,,,
But she likes my SR-22 in raspberry even better,,,
I'm thinking of the red frame and black slide.
