5. SCCY CPX-1&2
Most people haven't even heard of SCCY (pronounced “sky”) but, they have an excellent warranty that transfers between owners. Plus, these small pistols are VERY affordable and can carry 10+1 parabellum (9 mm pistol caliber) rounds.
This gun is much bigger than the others on this list, and it cannot even be called a sub-compact pistol. While barely a pocket pistol, it is small enough to fit in your pocket or your concealed holsters.
It comes with a barrel of a little over 3.1 inches and an overall length of 5.7 inches. The trigger pull is a long DAO (double action only) pull, which could be a positive or negative depending on your preferences.
Yet, as long as you go to the range and practice with it, you'll get used to the trigger. Make sure you really learn the sights on this one.
The only perceived downside is because it holds 10 rounds of ammo, it is a double stack magazine. Meaning it is a bit wider than some of the others on this list.
I have no doubt the this is one of the most reliable firearms I've ever tested.
