The SCCY CPX-1 is a hammer-fired, polymer frame double action only (DAO) semiautomatic pistol chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum.
[1] The CPX-1 is a locked breech design that uses an aluminum receiver set inside the polymer grip housing and attached with steel pins.
SCCY designed the pistol with an internal hammer and has a double action trigger pull.
The CPX-2 relies on the double action only (DAO) trigger pull, which requires 8.5 to 9 pounds of pressure, to help prevent unintentional discharge.
A firing pin spring and low-mass hammer prevent discharge if the handgun is dropped.
