Unloading a few

Took the scorpion and my newly built 7.5” 556 out and had a little range time. The 7.5” is actually a lot of fun to shoot. I’m running 75gr hornady Bthp I got from Wes a while back. I need to get more. I run a steady diet of 124gr jhp over n350 in the 9mm. I really love the scorpion. Yes vert grip, yes it’s done right. The nice thing about having a nfa manufacturer in town. Anyway. Here it is. Planning on going out again today if the wind chills out

What do you like better, the scorpion or the AR15 pistol? Obviously it's a little skewed because it's 5.56 vs 9mm but which would you prefer if they were both chambered in the same round?

Scorpion all day. I’ve got a ar45acp too. The ar is to picky. Hard to get it all tuned. Then they don’t run some ammo. Hollow points are finicky. I’ve got about 1500 into my 45. And about the same in the scorpion after everything. But the cz is cheaper to shoot. Shoots great. Tons of upgrades. Feels good. And it eats everything I’ve fed it. The 45 is on the right of the scorpion. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c395e7ebba.jpg

Ditto on the Scorpion... just a blast to shoot. Sights were a tad low to allow my fat head to get a good sight when cheek welding the brace ... had to add a dot to it.

Yup. Sights are low. But I like them

I like my Scorpion too, although I have a carbine. It is a lot of fun. One of my friends offered to trade me his AR pistol in 5.56 and his 1911 for my Scorpion. I didn't go for it. :) As stated you don't have to tune them and ARs u do. :)

Nice! I’ve wanted to get a Scorpion for some time! That or build an AR9 but they seem finicky and far more expensive

I run a suppressor on mine also and have had no issues. Forgot to include that. I run both Xtreme 147gr RN and HP bullets over 4-4.1 gr. of Power Pistol and it runs great. Suppressor is a Sig SRD45 so I run it on my .45 pistols down to .22LR.

I want a 9mm can for mine now. I’ve shot a bunch of the 147 extremes also. I think I load about 5gr of n350. Don’t quote me. I’d have to check. But I also shoot them with unique too

That’s what it came down for me. I was gonna build too. But I shoot to much hollow point and didn’t want to fight them. Now I want the carbine...

I like my Scorpion carbine. Just have a red dot on it. But, I can smoke gallon milk jugs at 100 yards with it pretty easy. It is VERY fun to shoot, my friends all love it.

So should I get the carbine or shorter version? [emoji848] I like the idea of a small compact truck gun but Im open to suggestions

I love the scorpion. Just for the reason it’s small. The carbine would be fun at the range.

If I get one it will be the 7" version. 4" might as well get a handgun. The longer carbine version likely has a minimal gain in muzzle velocity over the 7" since the 9mm is a handgun round.

Exactly why I went with the evo instead of the micro

Nice ... that’s next on the shopping list for mine ... do you notice any spray back into your face or the bolt getting gunked up?

Hell yeah 7” for sure. That was going to be my barrel length if I built the AR9. It was gonna be a side charger and take MP5 mags. Maybe one of these days

If you shoot factory ammo that is true. If you reload you can take advantage of the longer barrel for more gains. I honestly haven't myself, but IME you definitely could. That being said if you are going to suppress it then you wouldn't bother. One other aspect is feel for training. The carbine is a cheap way to train with a rifle. But, if you add a suppressor to a pistol and a good brace it will handle like a rifle also.

Yup! I did a 8.3” ar45 acp but mine takes glock mags. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...05e8f41513.jpg

I may still try to build one. Played with the idea of doing 10mm.

Ok, guys. This thread was the last straw, lol. I have been eyeing the Scorpion for a while and I went and ordered one today at my lgs. Who can point me to some resources as to what I can and can't put on it as far as a brace and a grip up front?

tabascoman, I've got to say that your Scorpion is a sweet looking firearm. I ordered the FDE as well with the 7" barrel and I can't wait to try it out.

I love the scorpion. Almost more than my 45. If cz would make a 45acp scorpion I’d be in trouble...again lol

I went through manufacturer transfer. You take your scorpion to them. They instal the grip and transfer it back to you. Cz is semi local to me. So I went through them for info. Best bet without internet advise is to go to a suppressor shop or dealer and ask them

You can put any race on it you want. But from how I understand is the adapter to put a ar buffer cz a folder is measured different. If you ordered the pistol hit me up. I have the adapter for a buffertube sitting on my shelf I’ll sell you
