CZ Scorpion

Cz Scorpion Feature

The CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 is a semi-automatic pistol caliber carbine chambered in 9x19mm and is available in rifle and pistol configurations.  It has an ambidextrous safety and magazine release, and its charging handle can be swapped to either side.  Its full-length optics rail comes with fully adjustable iron sights and is often complemented in its variations with a quad-rail style handguard.  Its rifle versions can be equipped with a folding and telescoping stock while its pistol version has a quick-detach sling mount and is capable of accepting arm braces.

Cz Scorpion Ergonomics

All controls on the CZ Scorpion work for both left and right handed shooters.  The safety and magazine release are ambidextrous, the charging handle can be swapped easily from the left to the right side, the bolt release is easy to engage by both left and right handed shooters, and the trigger has a smooth 8 pound pull with an audible reset.  The pistol grip is rather uncomfortable due to its basic geometry, and while the iron sights give a very clean sight picture in its rifle configuration, they’re basically useless on the pistol versions.  The front handguard is surprisingly comfortable for most users, and the charging handle can be pulled back and rotated up to lock the bolt back, giving the user the option to do an HK-slap to close the bolt.
