The DVG-1 is easier to rack than some 9mm striker fired guns, even though it incorporates a dual recoil spring into the design. It isn’t the smallest 9mm pistol you can buy, but it’s probably the smallest and lightest 9mm the occasional shooter will handle well. The pistol weighs 15.5 ounces unloaded, about the same as an aluminum frame. About the same weight…but with 10+1 rounds, the DVG-1 wins on capacity. I don’t think the slightly higher baseplate makes much practical difference carrying the pistol IWB behind the hip under a light T shirt, but your mileage may vary. SCCY also includes two flush-fit plates should you want the smallest possible package for carry. Both mags ship with extended baseplates for four-finger operation. The height of the pistol varies slightly. The pistol comes with the usual gun lock, a manual, and two 10-round magazines. The slide release adds a piddling amount of width. The slide at its widest point is 1.1 inches wide. The barrel is 3.1 inches long and the pistol is 6 inches from end to end. Otherwise the pistol is dimensionally and aesthetically virtually the same as earlier SCCY pistols. However, a Galco Stow-N-Go IWB holster easily accomodates this handgun for comfortable concealed carry.Īnother feature that makes the DVG-1 different from SCCY’s earlier pistols are the forward slide serrations. It isn’t a pocket pistol, save for winter carry in an outside coat pocket.

The pistol is billed as a sub-compact and size-wise, it’s pretty much in Smith & Wesson Shield Plus range. Unlike SCCY’s earlier hammer-fired pistols, the DVG-1 is striker-fired. That model’s priced $100 more than the standard DVG-1. In addition to the standard model reviewed here, there’s an optics-ready version (the DVG-1RD) as well that ships with a pre-installed Crimson Trace red dot sight. It is what it is and arming good folks on a budget with a reliable pistol is a praiseworthy thing to do. You probably won’t be using a DVG-1 for bowling pin matches, but it works perfectly well in its intended use, as a self-defense carry or home defense gun. The pistol is intended for easy carry, simple operation, and close range personal defense. The price has crept up some over the years, like everything else, but in the DVG-1, SCCY is still able to offer a very reasonably priced EDC option. The SCCY 9mm pistol originally retailed for a very affordable two hundred dollars or so.
