SCCY DVG-1 RDR : Budget Carry Option

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

Another great from Sootch, i am your biggest fan from Brazil, my people are extremely pro-gun, and as i can see on the last years, i can see that the entire world is, the only thing that makes me sad is that so many countries has extremely corrupt politicians who denies for his people the right of self-defense, i am 34 years old and in my life i learned an important lesson, a government who denies the right to have guns to their people, doesn't deserve the trust of those people.

[@sootch00]

Was this one handpicked for you? The one I bought was nothing but a training tool for me because off all the failures to go into battery and and extraction issues. Go with a Taurus for an inexpensive option

[@dillonc7955]

My Dad almost bought one until the guy called it a "punch action pistol" because the gun would go out of battery every other shot. From what I hear, the Quality control is inconsistent. For one guy loving these guns, there's 3 guys saying they flopped. Taurus, Ruger, even Keltec are much better options.

If you have an issues with SCCY, they fix it. if you have a problem with your SIG, Glock, S&W, etc, you have to find a gunsmith and pay pay pay. PSA, Taurus, SCCY, Lifetime warranties. Why can't those high dollar gucci guns like FN and SIG do that?

[@mikewilliams719]

The SCCY DVG-1 and the Sig P365 are actually the same width 1”. The SCCY is 2.3 ounces lighter at 15.5 ounces. The Sig is 17.8. With a flush fit magazine the capacity is the same.

How is the trigger reset on the DVG?

[@markmeador]

I have owned a cpx-1 red dot for three years. I put a trigger kit in mine that reduced the trigger from 8 lbs. to 4 lbs. completely different pistol now. I ordered a heavier slide spring that is supposed to reduce muzzle flip. I use mine for concealed carry. After breaking it in it is very dependable.

[@knastera]

I had a CPX-2. I got rid of it. I bought a DVG-1 as a backup gun. I like it a lot.

[@lintlicker4178]

I have a dvg-1 rdr and love it, fixed my mags by cutting down Glock 19 springs, holds open fine and holds 11 in the mag comfortably

[@moose9410]

honestly, the sig p365 was just too small for my hands. I could wrap my hand the whole way around, and my fingers would touch my palms. Didnt like that. The shield was no better, how slick and small the slide was, made it difficult to manipulate the slide for clearing malfunctions.

[@datsimplenope]

All jokes aside, I actually considered buying one of those SCCY pistols. The only thing that’s delaying me is the NJ state law regarding handguns. In order to buy one, you need to go thru a process similar to the one you have to go through to get a Firearms ID, minus having to get fingerprinted. I’m kinda lazy and don’t wanna have to file the paperwork and have 2 references answer emails confirming that I’m a sane person over and over again every time I want to buy a pistol.

Viewed your video and 8 others. After purchasing the SCCY DVG-1 RDR I first cleaned and lubricated it. Dry fired multiple times plus ran both mags with dummy rounds. Range time employed both mags and used critical defense and fmj ammo. Kept my thumb away from the slide release during firing the pistol. Results: Ran perfect, no issues , and shot tight off hand groups for an 83 year old arthritic man. $201.00 at Buds gun shop. Extremely pleased with the results. My new carry pistol.

[@silverback3926]

The cpx-2 trigger pinched and slapped my trigger finger. Does the dvg-1 do the same. Other than that I liked the gun. The crimson redot kept failing in my uncles sccy.

[@thering0010]

I just don't see a great reason to go this route when Taurus has done so much to address their reliability issues. The G2C and G3C are just better handguns for around the same price, especially if you can find them used. If you can afford a Canik, go with that, but Taurus is my #1 budget choice always and forever until they convince me otherwise.

Guys this hurts me to say. Had to sell my sig p365, glock 19 and glock 43x, along with a couple others, to save my house. Severe financial issues. This was last year, I just had a taurus g2c for home defense, along with shotguns. Gave the taurus to my wife so she has protection when she goes out. Anyway, recently I purchased the SCCY cpx 3 .380 for carry. I am SO used to high quality guns, I was humbled to buy this. Paid $169 for it brand new at a LGS. Although I've shot many better high quality guns, this is my only option for a gun at this point. I am fine with it, I do trust it with my life.

[@anthonyguidas2012]

I didn’t notice a firing pin block . Is it drop safe?

[@NormanPOlt]

I have four SCCY pistols: a CPX-2 RD, two 380s and the DVG-1. They have all been 100% reliable for me. Manufacturing quality on my guns is superb. The long, revolver-like double-action trigger pull of the CPX models is there for a reason: to prevent an accidental discharge. It can easily be mastered with a little practice. The trigger on the DVG-1 is probably one of the best triggers on a budget firearm and is much easier to become familiar with. Accuracy with all my SCCYs has been very good. I shoot at the range quite a bit, and at the typical self-defense distances these guns are designed for they are excellent. The SCCY lineup is not intended to be shot at 50 yard targets: but, what micro-sized pistol is? This really was a very good review. The only important thing missing was information about the fine SCCY warranty, absolutely one of the best in the industry, which even goes with the firearm to subsequent owners. In my experience, if there happens to be a problem, they WILL fix it. Help is just a phone call away. I have other handguns from the Goliath manufacturers, including S&W, GLOCK, CZ, Ruger, FN, Beretta, etc. As far as Bang for the Buck! is concerned, IMHO SCCY is a winner.

[@fuzfire]

I have a Ruger that has a long slide like this Sccy and I think it's better than the skimmy two rail on each side system.

[@stuartowens3506]

I’m not sure why anyone would “like” the double-action “micro hammer” guns. Ruger finally figured it out. I’m glad SCCY did too. A long, DA trigger pull in a compact is just a catastrophe. A heavy revolver…or a full-size auto…? oK Not a compact. I bought my original Ruger LC9, shot it at the range, and listed it for sale that night at a $50 loss.

[@dillonc7955]

There's guns that have long trigger reset and there's the SCCY brand, where the trigger basically has to go fully forward to reset, almost like a revolver. Good for the budget citizen, but not my taste whatsoever.

[@elsullo2]

THAT is the main safety feature, and there need be no others. It is what I WANT for a deep cover concealed carry pistol...........................elsullo

[@anomaly864]

You're better off with getting a Hi Point, Taurus G2C/G3C or a used gen 1 or 2 S&W Shield if you can't afford much. At least those work and won't blow apart in your hand like the SCCY is known for lol.

[@brownieelf6171]

There are plenty of places that offer layaway programs. You’re much better off putting the money you’d spend on this pistol towards a higher end pistol. Nearly $300 for a SCCY? For roughly $50 more, you could get the Taurus GX4. Or save another $150-200 and grab yourself a Hellcat, P365, or 43x. They’re better firearms, by a mile. Quality control is far better.

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

I don't like the grip feel on the CPX but that is the ONLY thing. The long heavy trigger pull is partially to make it a built in safety and also because (I think) that it's a hammer fire.

I've owned a CPX-2 since 2015, the cost($189 + tax & paperwork) - estetics & cost were major factors in that purchase, but.... the trigger is awful & the slide is reasonably difficult to pull back, though I've ran hundreds of rounds thru it with 4 different mags@ the range and had only a couple of malfunctions. Glad to hear the new striker-fired SCCY is a better product. BUT I have no desire to own another one of their guns.... when I can buy much better guns "near $" -adjusted for 2023 inflation. Ex.

Nothing wrong with a two stage or a double action trigger. Lots of folks use them for all the single stage or a single action trigger snobs that think different. Then there are those of us in the DA/SA camp that use both. Haha. My neighbor had a SCCY and I was not impressed with that particular example. It had sharp slide serrations and a chamber defect would deform the cases of loaded rounds. She complained about the mags not working properly and got new mags for it. I realize for a cheap pistol the quality control may not be very good but this was just bad QC and that pistol with that chamber defect should not have left the factory regardless of the lesser problems. Hopefully SCCY has gotten better. Thanks for sharing.

Hard pass on this. Why get a SCCY when you can get used Glocks 40 cal for $300-$350. A used Canik is way better than this and there plenty of new Turkish brands that work and are good to go. Used S&W Shield pistols are out there too and they're much better quality. Even for a low blowout price a SCCY isn't a bargain because it's a crapshoot if it's going to run.
