CZ SCORPION EVO 3 S1 9MM 7.72″ 20+1 BLACK 91351

CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Online

The CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 comes with two twenty-round magazines and even a nice little bore snake. The gun is equipped with the CZ Scorpion folding stock, a robust set of CZ iron sights, and an extended M-LOK handguard that replaces the original Scorpion’s railed forend.

The Skorpion was a.32 ACP machine pistol initially known as the Klobb for Goldeneye fans. But the Scorpion is a different breed of a sting than the CZ, which you’ll discover as we go over the other variants, fit and feel, dependability, accuracy, and more. A pistol ($850) and a rifle model of the CZ Scorpion pistol are available. 

The CZ scorpion stock is a blowback-operated carbine evolved from a Slovak prototype submachine gun developed by Lago. Chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum, the Scorpion EVO 3 is mostly polymer, making it a lightweight, compact submachine gun designed to be easily maneuvered in confined spaces.

So, the CZ USA Scorpion EVO 3 S1 9mm Pistol designation denotes that the firearm is a third generation of CZ’s small submachine guns started by the Škorpion vz. 61, which is mechanically unrelated. The Scorpion Evo 3 is a blowback-operated carbine evolved from a Slovak prototype submachine gun developed by Lago.

AK “pistols” of any kind have no practical advantages over a similar AK model with a stock with the possible exception of being smaller and easier to hide.

AK pistols exist only because of a quirk of US law. In the US, a rifle with a stock must have minimum barrel length of 16 inches. If it is shorter than that, it is classified as a Short Barrel Rifle and is very heavily regulated. You have to pay a $200 tax and undergo a long bureaucratic process with lots of paperwork. The law also prohibits attaching stocks to pistols.

There are some AK models, like AK74SU, which have a much shorter barrel.

In order to sell them without restrictions on the US civilian market they are re-made on receivers that exclude the fully-automatic function and have no provision for the stock attachment. Having a short barrel and no stock allows them to be legally classified as pistols.

Obviously, they are too large and heavy to be used like normal pistol for more than a couple of shots, and the absence of a stock makes them unusable in the fashion of a rifle. As a result, the shooter winds up holding it by the grip and forend with no real support. This can be mitigated to a degree with a sling, but it’s still not ideal. Hands with no other support are a poor shooting platform for a rifle-weight gun.

Meanwhile, any AK-style rifle with a stock can be used in normal rifle fashion, allowing for greater accuracy and comfort.
