SCCY CPX-2 Gen3 9mm Luger Pistol

SCCY CPX-2 Gen3 9mm – The #1 Selling Budget Concealed-Carry Pistol in America (2025 Edition)

In 2025, when most quality 9mm pistols start at $450+, the SCCY CPX-2 Gen3 continues to dominate the sub-$300 category with over 2 million units sold and the strongest factory warranty in the industry. Made 100% in Daytona Beach, Florida, the CPX-2 Gen3 is purpose-built for people who want a dead-reliable, American-made carry gun without gimmicks, external safeties, or wallet-breaking prices.

No manual safety. No grip safety. Just a consistent 9 lb double-action-only trigger, 10+1 rounds of 9mm, and a lifetime “no-questions-asked” warranty that even covers second owners.

Why the SCCY CPX-2 Gen3 is Still the King of Budget 9mm in 2025

• True street price $249–$289 (often $239 on sale)
