 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at the sky cpx-3 chambered in 380 sky introduced this three years ago and on two separate occasions They announced that they were going to release it and for some reason or another they did not February 2019 they finally released the sky cpx-3 now the average gun guy says, you know Just take everything from the cpx-2 and scale it down a bit and chamber it in 380. Am I missing something? Yes, you're actually missing quite a bit because the amount of Engineering that goes into just doing that saying what you just said is Incredible like each part has to be scaled down more than we even know so it does take time It takes a lot of energy, but sky did it right and I'll tell you why they made some improvements over their nine millimeter models the cpx-2 and These are improvements that I think Their customers will like let's start with The grip if you recall the cpx-2 has like scallops on the back of the grip And it actually made it wider about a quarter inch wider They removed those still has the finger grooves, but it's a it's about a quarter inch Thinner which makes a difference, you know the quarter inch on a subcompact gun Yep, that makes a difference with no question about that. It does come with three magazines Now the website says to this this came with three in the case when I got this came with three two flat base plate all ten rounds and one extended base plate. I've got some 380 in there so that when we weigh it will get a good idea, but it does come with three magazines and Three-finger contact now two and a half with the flat base plate three finger with the extended magazine another improvement that they made and we'll show clear here is The trigger the cpx-2 trigger has a trigger weight at nine pounds This is that eight pounds so they shaved off an entire pound of the long double-action pull It is a hammer fired gun. All right, you see that hammer there But you do go to a full reset All right, but it it resembles a revolver, you know, it's it's rather rather smooth no Problems there, but it is a long double-action trigger pull that that's heavier than your average double-action trigger pull they consider that a safety because people may pocket carry this gun and That would that would be considered a safety now the barrel length is just under three inches Like just under three inches, you know and now the cpx-2 was just over three like three point one This is like two point nine six So the the barrel length is just a little bit shorter But what they did was they they still have the three dot sights, but the rear sight is adjustable and That's a pretty nice touch All right, the MSRP is 305 a little under 300 at this point in time and I have to believe it's going to drop as time continues and once he's get out now It does say right there robot Quad lock system, so I want to explain that I'm gonna do that by this assembling the gun lock the slide back and just loosen up that pin and pull it out and Then off comes the slide. There's your frame polymer frame And then here's what we're looking at we have a captured recoil spring and guide rod and Your two point nine six or something like that barrel now the barrel on the other one had a little flare to it This one does not just a straight edge barrel and there is Your slide the one thing that I've noticed is in it says the robot quad lock system it this barrel actually works as a 1911 with locking lugs it it gets in there nice and tight and as the gun fires It comes right back to this position It's said to have four contact points that is the quad lock the robot quad lock to keep everything nice and tight And therefore it will also increase Accuracy so each time this moves it comes back to this position and it's very tight That Sky claims is a is an excellent feature and I have no reason to doubt that So that's what we're looking at there It actually took quite a bit of research to find out what exactly that meant because there was a Little bit confusion over that you know and I read it on on their site and I Read other reviews to figure out what exactly is this quad lock? So I think I got it, right? and We'll see if Anybody comes up with any other ideas We'll punch this back in there and there we go. Let's go ahead and get it on the scale We'll get the knife out of the way and See what this is weighing in at with an unloaded magazine The CPX 3 is weighing in at one Pound one and a half ounces We move that to just ounces 17 and a half if we put the 10 rounds of 380 You're looking at 21 ounces even so that's not bad That's not bad the the 10 rounds nine rounds went in easy That extra round I had to get out a speed loader to push that in there That was tough the one gun that I think that would measure up well with it Is the remington RM 380 now we can take a look at this The advantage is that the sky has it it holds for the mags carry four additional rounds But it is smaller on the right the sky's a little wider And there's what we're looking at with the grip So you can see that it's got a little size on it, but the benefit of that is 10 rounds. So there it is guys Eight pound trigger pull Rather smooth not the quickest trigger around but not the worst either does have adjustable sights of thinner Thinner grip in that robot quad lock system. It's supposed to make it more accuracy I think it will but we'll have to see if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
