 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a sky CPX to RD the RD stands for red dots guy created a red dot series that is available on all their handgun So here is the CPX to then the CPX one both in 9 millimeter CPX one has a thumb safety also with their 380 models Here's the CPX 3 this will be available with a red dot and the CPX for with a thumb safety One of the reasons why I've avoided red dots on my carry guns on many of my optic ready guns is primarily because of the price You look at the amount you pay for the gun itself, you know typically three to six hundred dollars and then the optic will cost Just about the same amount and so you add that up and get very pricey now. I know a lot of people like it They say, you know, you just point that dot at your target and you pull the trigger And you're pretty dead nuts and a lot of people are going in that direction, but it is an expensive Venture, but we look at this model here. Sky enjoys a fine reputation. Every time I feature a sky I get many positive comments back. It's a budget gun crimson trace CTS 1500 included Retails with this model 339 now that's a price I could live with the 380 models with the the same exact optic 349 so they kept this whole package in The budget category and I think many people who love sky and many people who just want You know, they want to try out an optic and a handgun They've been hearing a lot about it a lot of companies are making optic ready They don't know what to think. This would be a good way to go for Initially to see see how well you like it and maybe just stick with it But here it is the CPX 2 it has a double stack 10 round magazine comes with 2 you can pick these up for 200 bucks It's very much a budget gun does have a 3.1 inch barrel All right, and what's very interesting. We look at the sights is is that this optic we're gonna talk more about this But this optic has a rear sight Embedded right in the optic itself. So there you've got the rear sight Large front dot and there you go. This is an unloaded firearm It's known for having a double-action hammer fired. You see the hammer right there It's a double-action hammer fired the brakes right around eight and a half to nine pounds And it's it's a bit of it's kind of like a revolver pull to it But that's what you're looking at. It doesn't matter, you know Being that a tamer fire that the slide has to action to reset the hit trigger not at all But it does have slight finger grooves one cool thing is that with this 10 round magazine It does have extension there for full three finger contact on the gun there it is and Then the 380 models have the quad lock system that I explained I shot it at the range I did very well with that a Hammer fired gun Now the optic itself is a crimson trace 1500 or CTS 1500 if you go to their site You will not see this optic on there. Okay the crimson trace site They made this proprietary to the sky handguns or for the sky handguns, which is pretty cool And one thing that I found very unique is that the only adjustments are the The windage and the elevation adjustments it comes mounted just like this It does have a protective cap that goes on just like that and the dot is on Continuously it's auto dimming this dot this 3.5 MOA dot is always on so you don't have to worry about You know when you're getting ready to go out for the day to you know Make sure that you're all set firearm in holster. Oh, yeah I have to flip this switch to make sure the dot is on it is always on which leads to the next question How long is the battery life? Well? Crimson trace is saying 20,000 hours, which with the help of the internet. I did the math. I didn't do the math 833 days so over two years with a single battery 20 32 battery and It is always on and I don't think it'll pick up on the camera But I tell you what when you're live that that dot just kind of jumps out at you And we'll have to see if I have to site it in it all it does come with an Allen wrench And I'll be able to do that but that's about it. You know, it's it's nice clear glass. It's a crimson trace and I I'm pretty happy with the package and I think sky really priced it well. We'll go ahead and take a look at The internals and then we'll put it on the scale and we'll wrap this thing up to this is some of this guy It's really simple. Just lock the slide back. All right, and we're going to take a round I'm pretty much take anything to pull this pin out and then no need to pull the trigger at all Just off comes the slide. All right, you do have some metal inserts all throughout the frame itself and we have a Captured recoil spring and guide rod and here is the 3.1 inch barrel And there is the optic itself All right feels heavy-duty. You know the one thing, you know people baby their optics, and I'm no different I baby the optics always worried. I'm going to Screw it up somehow or you know, you worry because it's glass. You don't want to want to mess up the glass at all and that makes complete sense, but You know, you don't have to worry about it too much there now when you reassemble this you want that just a little over an inch That's the way I typically do it. I keep it just around an Inch put that in there and you are good to go. Let's go ahead and get it on the scale Then we'll wrap this thing up here. We have an unloaded Sky we have an unloaded magazine and it's weighing in 17 and an 8th ounce, but we'll go ahead and put 10 rounds in here 21 and a quarter there's your carry-around for 11 21 and 3 quarter ounces. So there it is Sky Cpx 2 RD. It's the red dot series that you're going to see more and more. It's available on all their handguns It's priced well and this is what it's going to take for me to get into Red dots, especially with the carry gun. We'll see how that goes but I do like and think that this package is priced well, it's priced for the working man and It's going to be available. Actually, it's available right now Go ahead and check it out and see if you're interested and let me know what you think If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share.
