The SCCY CPX-1 with Crimson Trace was officially announced in late 2019 to provide a budget-friendly, optics-ready concealed carry option, featuring a factory-mounted Crimson Trace CTS-1500 red dot on a 9mm, DAO platform. These models aimed to combine SCCY's affordable, American-made design with immediate red dot capability, often retailing for under $350, though SCCY itself reportedly faced financial issues in 2025.
