SCCY CPX-1 & CPX-2 Holster Guide – Best IWB Kydex Options for Everyday Carry

Posted by STS Concealment on Mar 19th 2026

The SCCY CPX-1 and CPX-2 have built a strong reputation as affordable, reliable handguns designed for everyday concealed carry. Known for their compact size, lightweight frame, and double-action-only trigger system, these pistols are a practical choice for those looking to carry consistently without breaking the bank.

But like any carry firearm, performance and comfort depend heavily on one thing—the holster you choose.

At STS Concealment, we design holsters built for real-world use, giving SCCY owners a dependable, purpose-driven carry solution.

Why the SCCY CPX-1 & CPX-2 Need a Proper Holster

While the CPX series is compact, using a generic or poorly fitted holster can lead to:

  • Inconsistent retention

  • Excessive printing

  • Discomfort during extended wear

  • Slower, less reliable draw

A precision-formed Kydex holster for SCCY CPX-1 & CPX-2 ensures:

✔ Full trigger guard protection
✔ Secure, consistent retention
✔ Smooth and repeatable draw
✔ Better concealment throughout the day

Designed for Comfortable All-Day Carry

The SCCY CPX series is built for daily carry, and your holster should match that purpose.

This IWB holster is designed to:

  • Minimize bulk inside the waistband

  • Reduce pressure points during movement

  • Maintain comfort whether sitting, standing, or driving

The .08” Kydex thickness provides durability while keeping the profile slim enough for extended wear.

Concealment That Works in Real Life

One of the biggest advantages of the SCCY CPX-1 and CPX-2 is their compact footprint. A well-designed holster enhances that by keeping the firearm tight to the body and reducing printing.

With the optional concealment claw, the grip is rotated inward, making it easier to conceal under:

  • T-shirts

  • Polos

  • Hoodies

  • Light jackets

This makes it ideal for both casual and low-profile daily carry setups.

Appendix vs Strong-Side Carry

The STS Concealment IWB holster supports multiple carry styles:

Appendix Carry (AIWB)

  • Faster draw time

  • Easier concealment with proper setup

  • Best paired with concealment claw

Strong-Side Carry (3–5 o’clock)

  • More traditional carry position

  • Comfortable for extended wear

  • Natural draw motion

Both options benefit from adjustable cant and retention, allowing you to fine-tune your setup.

Why Kydex Is the Go-To Choice

Kydex remains one of the top materials for concealed carry holsters because it offers:

  • Consistent retention every time you holster

  • Strong, rigid structure for safe reholstering

  • Resistance to sweat and moisture

  • Low maintenance and long lifespan

For SCCY CPX owners, this means reliable performance day in and day out.

Who This Holster Is Ideal For

This holster is perfect for:

  • Everyday concealed carriers

  • Budget-conscious firearm owners wanting premium gear

  • New carriers looking for a dependable setup

  • Anyone carrying a SCCY CPX-1 or CPX-2 regularly

Final Thoughts

The SCCY CPX-1 & CPX-2 are built for practical concealed carry—but they perform best when paired with a holster designed specifically for them.

The STS Concealment IWB Kydex Holster delivers:

✔ Secure retention
✔ Comfortable all-day wear
✔ Slim, effective concealment
✔ Durable, American-made quality

If you’re serious about carrying consistently and comfortably, this setup provides a reliable solution you can count on.
