SCCY CPX-2 blew up this morning in the desert
Two gun shop owners [ father/son ] and myself met in the Sonoran this morning for some shooting time. The son brought hos wifes new SCCY CPX-2 to play with. NIB, he fired 27 rounds of factory 115 grain ball 9mm without a bobble. The 28th round destroyed the gun [ no pics which I should have thought to take of the gun ]..
The barrel exploded fully in half, horizontally when held in a shooting position. That barrel exploding, ripped the recoil spring out, blew off the right side of the slide [ peeled it from front to back from the muzzle to about the rear sight location ]. The top strap didn't suffer as much tearing of steel [ like shrapnel from an artillery shell looks like ] He's shooting left handed, only a slight mark on his wrist from small shrapnel, but otherwise okay. He's decided his wife deserved to carry her S+W MP shield from now on, no more low dollar POS's for him and his wife. Dad, on the other hand, never said a word but they are reconsidering not selling them at the shop any longer.

First, thanks or the posting and I'm glad nobody was hurt.
My only question is why would the owner of a LGS trust his wife's life with a POS $250 gun? You would think they'd only buy the best for themselves. Just sayin'..... I don't know as much about guns as most of you, but I know one thing, I ain't buying off the wall, no name POS guns for just a couple hundred bucks that I would put my life on the line with!!! Again, glad nobody was hurt. Last edited by skosh69; 05-30-2016 at 06:01 PM.

His wifes choice, it comes it multitude of colors. She chose something along the line of bright pink/rasberry, so he's out making sure it's going to run before she can carry it. I'll get some pics of it tomorrow and post later in the day. Wait till you see how the slide peeled itself open on two fronts/
He's making her move back to her S+W mp9s.
