BASIC FUNCTIONS

This section will describe the basic functions of the model CPX firearm. As shown in Figure 1, the
firearm is in the ready to shoot configuration. The Model CPX utilizes a Double Action Only (DAO)
firing mechanism and will be explained in further detail throughout this section.

FIGURE 1

STEP 1
The first half of the (DAO) double action firing mechanism is when the trigger is pulled and the trigger
bar engages the hammer and pulls it back to the cocked position as shown in Figure 2. The hammer
can not remain in the cocked position, due to its design. It automatically releases, once reaching its
fully cocked position.

FIGURE 2

*This page contains ITAR-restricted data.

SCCY Industries - Model CPX Instruction Manual 9
STEP 2
The second half of the (DAO) double action firing mechanism is when the hammer snaps forward
contacting the firing pin, causing it to strike the primer area of the cartridge as shown in Figure 3.

The primer ignites the gunpowder in the cartridge. The ignited powder is turned into expanding gases,
forcing the bullet out of the barrel. As the bullet moves through the barrel’s bore, it engages the rifling,
thus causing it to spin. The spinning motion of a bullet allows it to travel to the point of impact with a
higher degree of accuracy.

FIGURE 3

*This page contains ITAR-restricted data.

10 SCCY Industries - Model CPX Instruction Manual
STEP 3
The expanding gases also push the empty case back, causing the slide to move back as shown in
Figure 4. The shooter will now experience perceived recoil.

As the slide is moved back, the empty cartridge is held and carried back by the extractor. When the
slide reaches its fully recoiled position, the empty cartridge makes contact with the ejector. The
combining forces between the empty cartridge being held by the extractor and being pushed by
the ejector force the empty cartridge out of the slide’s ejection port.

FIGURE 4

*This page contains ITAR-restricted data.

SCCY Industries - Model CPX Instruction Manual 11
STEP 4
The slide is moved forward by spring forces generated through the recoil spring sub assembly.

As the slide moves forward, it picks up another cartridge from the magazine and feeds it into the
chamber as shown in Figure 5.

Once the slide reaches its fully forward position, the barrel locks up to the slide as shown in Figure
1 on page 9 and the firearm is ready to be discharged again. This cycle can be repeated until the
magazine is emptied.

FIGURE 5

*This page contains ITAR-restricted data.

12 SCCY Industries - Model CPX Instruction Manual
PROPER GRIP CONTROL

When preparing to shoot the firearm, firmly grasp the “grip area” of the firearm as shown in Figure 6.
To pull the slide back, firmly grasp the firearm’s “grip area” with one hand. With the other hand, firmly
grip the “slide serrations area” and smoothly pull the slide back as shown in Figure 7.

FIGURE 6

DANGER
The finger(s) must remain clear of the trigger guard area until ready to
discharge the firearm.

CPX-1 / CPX-4 ONLY
MANUAL SAFETY

The manual safety (found on the CPX-1 & CPX-4 only) is located on both the right and left side
(ambidextrous) of the grip area and should ALWAYS be placed in the “SAFE” position until ready to fire.
The safety rotates up and down between the “SAFE” and “FIRE” position. See Figure 8, safety shown in
“SAFE” position. See Figure 9, safety shown in “FIRE” position.

FIGURE 8 FIGURE 9

REMOVING THE MAGAZINE

With the safety in the safe position, press the magazine FIGURE 10
release button, as shown in Figure 10, while maintaining
a firm grip on the firearm. The magazine will drop freely
from the magazine well. Do not allow the magazine to
fall on the ground.

To insert a magazine into the firearm, align it with the

MAGAZINE RELEASE
magazine well and firmly slide it until it locks into place.
Do not force the magazine into the magazine well or
strike the magazine base to seat the magazine. Doing
so may cause damage to the magazine. The magazine
release procedure can be done either in the slide hold
position as shown, or with the slide forward and locked.

REMOVING THE MAGAZINE DOES NOT REMOVE A CARTRIDGE FROM THE CHAMBER.
THIS FIREARM WILL DISCHARGE WITHOUT A MAGAZINE INSTALLED. MANUAL SAFETY
FEATURE AND ASSOCIATED INFORMATION ARE ONLY APPLICABLE TO MODEL CPX-1 &
CPX-4.

CHECKING CHAMBER
FOR AMMUNITION

To view inside the chamber, place safety in safe position (ON/UP, CPX-1 & CPX-4 only), remove the
magazine, and then pull back the slide (approximately 1 inch) see Figure 11. While doing so, always
have your finger(s) clear of the trigger area.

Visually inspect inside the chamber and magazine area to see if a cartridge is present. If a cartridge
is present, your firearm is ready to be discharged/fired. If you do not intend to shoot at this time, you
should unload your firearm including the cartridge in the chamber. Refer to page 19, UNLOADING
YOUR FIREARM.

FIGURE 11
CHAMBER AREA

TRIGGER AREA

DANGER
ALWAYS CHECK THE CHAMBER. Never assume a firearm is unloaded when
placing an empty magazine into the firearm. Installing an empty magazine
into the firearm and pulling the trigger will discharge a cartridge in the
chamber. This firearm will discharge without a magazine installed.

SCCY Industries - Model CPX Instruction Manual 15
SLIDE HOLD OPEN

After firing the last cartridge, the slide will remain open see Figure 12. This allows the operator to
visually check the chamber and magazine area to make certain the firearm is empty. If you intend to
reload the firearm, replace the empty magazine with a full one. Firmly hold the firearm by the grip
area, press down on the slide hold open lever. This will allow the slide to return to its forward, locked
position while feeding a cartridge into the chamber. The firearm is now ready to be discharged.

CPX-1 / CPX-2
AMMUNITION

FIGURE 13 The models CPX-1 & CPX-2 are designed for 9MM LUGER
ammunition only, seen in Figure 13. The caliber is marked on the
barrel and the cartridge. Make certain 9MM LUGER is used only. The
use of improper size ammunition will cause damage to the firearm
and/or injury or death to shooter and/or bystanders. It is highly
recommended that top quality factory manufactured ammunition be
used only. The use of reloaded or military surplus ammunition can
cause jamming problems and possible serious injury to shooter and
bystanders. Never use ammunition that is wet, corroded, dirty, bent,
crushed, or is otherwise damaged.

CPX-3 / CPX-4
AMMUNITION

FIGURE 14 The models CPX-3 & CPX-4 are designed for 380 AUTO ammunition
only, seen in Figure 14. The caliber is marked on the barrel and the
cartridge. Make certain 380 AUTO is used only. The use of improper
size ammunition will cause damage to the firearm and/or injury or
death to shooter and/or bystanders. It is highly recommended that
top quality factory manufactured ammunition be used only. The
use of reloaded or military surplus ammunition can cause jamming
problems and possible serious injury to shooter and bystanders.
Never use ammunition that is wet, corroded, dirty, bent, crushed, or is
otherwise damaged.

WARNING
+P CARTRIDGES SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON A LIMITED BASIS IN THE
MODEL CPX. This type of ammunition creates much higher chamber
pressures than standard ammunition. Never fire more than 50 rounds of +P
ammunition per session.

*This page contains ITAR-restricted data.

SCCY Industries - Model CPX Instruction Manual 17
LOADING THE MAGAZINE

Use the proper size ammunition. Insert a cartridge into the feed lip area using light pressure in a
downward fashion as shown in Figure 15. Never force cartridges into the magazine. As the magazine
fills to capacity (10 cartridges), the amount of pressure increases due to spring preload. When
cartridges are visible at the top hole, this indicates there are 5 or more cartridges in the magazine.
When cartridges are visible at the bottom hole this indicates the magazine is full. Never force more
than 10 cartridges into the magazine. Doing so can cause damage to the magazine and its internal
components.

PREPARING TO SHOOT

Always point the firearm in a safe direction. Any and all firearms are dangerous if not handled properly.
Always wear proper eye and ear protection. Lock slide BEFORE inserting loaded magazine. With the
firearm pointed in a safe direction, insert a loaded magazine into the magazine well until it locks into
place. Pull the slide back and lock it with the slide hold lever. Release the slide hold lever when ready to
feed a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. When ready to discharge the firearm, rotate the
safety lever to the “FIRE” position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the CPX-2 & CPX-3 lack a manual safety, these models are
ready to fire as soon as a cartridge is fed into the chamber!
If the firearm is in the slide hold position, insert a full magazine. Press the slide hold lever to release
the side. Once you press the lever, let the slide close unassisted; do not grip or touch the slide as it
travels forward. This will feed a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The firearm is now
loaded and ready to be discharged.

FIRING

Firmly grasp the firearm, point the firearm at the target and carefully pull the trigger. The firearm will
discharge, and automatically feed the next cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The firearm
is now ready to be fired again. Each time the trigger is pulled, the firearm will discharge until all car-
tridges in the magazine and chamber have been fired. When the last cartridge has been discharged,
the slide hold lever will cause the slide to remain in its rearward position.

UNLOADING THE FIREARM

Place the safety in the safe position (ON/UP, CPX-1 & CPX-4 only). Point the firearm in a safe
direction while keeping finger(s) off the trigger and out of the trigger-guard area. First remove the
magazine. Pull and hold the slide rearward, the cartridge in the chamber will eject through the ejection
port. Inspect to make certain no cartridge is present in the chamber.

REMOVING THE MAGAZINE DOES NOT REMOVE A CARTRIDGE FROM THE CHAMBER
THIS FIREARM WILL DISCHARGE WITHOUT A MAGAZINE INSTALLED. MANUAL SAFETY
FEATURE AND ASSOCIATED INFORMATION ARE ONLY APPLICABLE TO MODELS CPX-1
& CPX-4.

SCCY Industries - Model CPX Instruction Manual 19

MISFIRE - FAILURE
TO FEED OR EJECT

Keep the firearm pointed at the target for no less than 30 seconds. This will allow adequate time for
a delayed cartridge to fire. Unload the firearm following the UNLOADING THE FIREARM procedure
on page 19. Remember to remove the magazine from the firearm before ejecting the chambered
cartridge. Occasionally a semi-automatic firearm may fail to feed or eject a cartridge. If this should
happen, perform the following procedures:
• Keep fingers off of the trigger!
• Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction during this entire procedure!
• Remove the magazine.
• Pull the slide rearward and remove any cartridge that is present in the
chamber area.
• Inspect the cartridge that failed to feed or eject for dent or any other
defects. A defective cartridge should be discarded and not used.
• Inspect the remaining cartridges in the magazine before continuing to
discharge the firearm.
If failure to feed or eject continues, the firearm may require cleaning and oiling (see page 24). If the
problem continues, please contact a local gunsmith or SCCY Industries.

ADJUSTING THE REAR SIGHT

Using a 1/16” allen wrench, loosen (counterclockwise) FIGURE 16

the set screw located in the rear sight as shown in Figure
15. Then, slide the rear sight to its desired location
and tighten the set screw (clockwise). MAKE SURE SIGHT
FIREARM IS UNLOADED. To move the point of impact ADJUST
to the left, move the rear sight to the left. To move the SCREW
point of impact to the right, move the rear sight to the

CLEANING AND OILING

To ensure proper operation of the firearm, it is necessary to keep the firearm’s internal components
clean and lubricated. After completing the disassembly procedure (steps 1 through 3), the firearm is
now ready for cleaning.

Normal cleaning is easily accomplished by using common gun cleaning fluids,

either liquid or aerosol, to remove any gun powder residue. Do not use any water-based household
cleaning products such as detergents; they can cause corrosion.

Apply a light coat of gun oil to all internal surfaces, excluding the firing pin hole. This allows a
smoother operation while protecting the firearm from corrosion.

The slide, barrel and recoil spring subassembly can be separated for cleaning.

Clean the gun powder residue from the top of the receiver area and apply a light coat of oil to the
top of the receiver and hammer area. Also, apply a light coat of oil to the inside of the feed lip area
of the magazine, allowing oil to coat the inside of the magazine body. Any further disassembly is not
necessary under normal usage.
