SCCY CPX-3 & CPX-4 Holster Guide – Best IWB Kydex Options for .380 Concealed Carry

Posted by STS Concealment on Mar 19th 2026

The SCCY CPX-3 and CPX-4 are compact, lightweight .380 ACP pistols built specifically for concealed carry. Designed with simplicity and affordability in mind, these handguns are ideal for those who want a reliable everyday carry option with minimal bulk and easy handling.

But to truly maximize their concealability and performance, choosing the right holster is critical.

At STS Concealment, we build holsters for real-world carry—giving CPX-3 and CPX-4 owners a dependable, purpose-built solution designed for comfort, retention, and daily use.

Why the SCCY CPX-3 & CPX-4 Need a Dedicated Holster

Although the CPX-3 and CPX-4 share similarities with other SCCY models, their .380 platform and compact frame dimensions require a properly fitted holster.

Using a generic holster can lead to:

  • Loose or inconsistent retention

  • Poor concealment due to improper fit

  • Slower, less reliable draw

  • Reduced comfort over long periods

A precision-molded Kydex holster for SCCY CPX-3 & CPX-4 ensures:

✔ Full trigger guard protection
✔ Consistent, secure retention
✔ Smooth and repeatable draw
✔ Better concealment and stability
