SCCY Closes its Doors

SCCY is no longer in business. Its assets—including CNC machines/centers, robodrills, injection molding machines, lathes, office equipment, 3D printers and more—will go to the highest bidder(s) in a sale conducted by Prestige Auction from June 24 to 26.

News of the approaching closure became widespread when the Volusa County Tax Office posted notices of “Pending Levy and Seizure” on the company’s Daytona Beach, FL, factory on March 11, 2025. They stated, “All equipment, furniture and fixtures located inside this location regardless of status (owned, leased, loaned or borrowed) are subjected to taxation and are now under a pending levy and seizure for unpaid tangible personal property taxes.” Amount due at the time was $249,932.38.

In 2022 the cities or Rochester and Buffalo, both in New York, filed lawsuits against SCCY and several other gunmakers. Legal maneuvering is expensive, and two years later SCCY’s insurer filed court documents alleging the policy it wrote didn’t include coverage that kind of litigation or associated legal costs. The issue was settled earlier this month with undisclosed terms.  

As recently as 2022 the SCCY ranked in the top-10 among domestic pistol manufacturers—in volume. That was also the year the company introduced its DVG-1RD pistol, a striker-fired, 9 mm NATO-chambered semi-auto that shipped wearing a red-dot optic. MSRP was $399.99. 

Shooting Illustrated’s Daniel T. McElrath tested one, noting it offered the same virtues as every SCCY gun. “They go bang reliably and with sufficient precision, but so do my regular carry guns,” he wrote. “The difference—apart from my guns’ slightly better ergonomics—is my ‘mid-price’ guns cost about twice as much as the SCCY pistols.” 

SCCY was founded by Joe Roebuck, a mechanical engineer and tool-and-die maker, in 2003. The company focused exclusively on producing reliable, budget-friendly pistols for concealed carry. Its first gun—the CPX-1—appeared in 2005. The hammer-fired, double-action-only semi-automatic was chambered in 9mm.

In 2017 the company announced it was moving operations from Florida to Maryville, TN. The company was going to invest $22.5 million in a new facility that included an outdoor shooting range, a “SCCY Lodge” for visiting VIPs and gun writers and five main production and shipping buildings. The 140-person team it employed in Florida would be expanded to 200 in Tennessee. Those plans were ultimately canceled and SCCY instead expanded operations in Daytona Beach, FL.

Non-courtroom financial troubles first appeared when news leaked of layoffs in early 2024, followed by reports in August that employees were notified of a halt in factory operations. The company’s website remains active, although e-mails from Shooting Illustrated have been unreturned and phone calls go to voicemail.
