I have owned about 9 handguns. the sccy was the worst one I have ever owned. I don't like to bash gun companies and I have heard they have made significant changes since my purchase. I bought the sccy gen 1 because I wanted a safety, it was purchases about 14 months ago. I liked the looks, the size, the INCREDIBLE accuracy(I have yet t be as accurate wit any 9mm since that tiny gun) and of course the price point as awesome. those are the pro's.
my first trip out, 7 out of 10 rounds would light strike, the ones that didn't would stovepipe. trip one back to the factory, they were kind and quick and shipped right back to my house. 2nd trip out, 7 out 10 were light strikes, several misfeeds, back to factory for the second time(please note, I tried many ammos). back to the factory, again, courteous and quick. so my light strikes were "mosty fixed, still had one out of every 2-3 mags, but the rear sight fell out into the dirt somewhere and the safety broke. sccy was courteous enoughto send out a new safety and and extra set and a new rear sight. had a couple more range trips, safety broke again, still had occasional jams, light strikes were fixed though. after about 200 more rounds, the internal ejector broke, they sent out a new one, but they had a weird sized roll pin that I couldn't get out even after trying to machine a correct sized one. another trip to the factory.
sold immediately after getting back. so this was the gen one and I understand that the gen 2 has no safety which was a he problem and they have fixed the light strikes. but even with the being very kind and helpful, I was pretty ticked that they didn't just offer to upgrade my gun after so many problems. I owned the gun for several months but it was either broke down or in the factory more than it was in service. also, the pins kept walking out of the gun, lke within a few shots I would have to push them back in, the owner told me to put them in a vice and slightly warp the pins to fix the prob....well okay, it worked, but geez. I was pretty bummed about the whole deal, I think I deserved a free upgrade, a couple mags or something.
just my 2 cents.....I really hate to bash a gun company that is still on the start up side, but I feel that my experience needs to be shared so people can make an informed purchase and hopefully handle their purchase differently if it ends up being a dud like mine. I surely hope they have redesigned all the flaws out and I have read many good reviews on the gun. I can also vouch for superb accuracy especially compared to its kel tec competition.
