Skorpion EVO pistol is HERE!

At less than $1000 msrp, this thing will sell faster than pancakes.

And if they keep the magazines costs pretty low, it will be real popular real fast.

Probably need a new category/section in the forum dedicated just for it.

I have wanted one of these for a long time ever since I saw the pics of the A1. Now, the big questions are where can I find one, when can I get my stamp in the queue, and what would I need to do to make it 922 compliant?

I need to find a way to get $1000 before they disappear.

Here's a review from Colion Noir.

Looks sharp!

Very interesting, thanks for the video. I am interesting to see how the EVO develops.

Wish they'd made it to take CZ75 mags.

Wish they'd made it to take CZ75 mags.

Colin said the msrp on mags was less than $20 I think. VERY reasonable.

I want one.

You don't need a tax stamp.  Just put the SigTac brace on it and shoulder it like at the end of the video.  It's still a pistol.

So I have 2 of these EVO 3 Skorpion S1's pre-ordered through my CZ dealer.  According to him they will arrive in January, and so far there are 1000 coming in that shipment.

I do want to agree with some of the others here...  This is new firearms technology from CZ.  It does not belong relegated to the C&R, or Rifle section just for the convenience of the Administrators.  Let me remind you guys that you are providing a service, and we could just as easily move our patronage elsewhere.  As a NEW design the EVO3 sub-machine gun, and all of its variants, deserves its own section!  Sorry if that inconveniences some of you. 

As for the bashing of the pistol caliber SBR's and their faux SBR pistol cousins, some of us LIKE them.  Just like some of you LIKE shotguns, or CZ clones, or whatever.  And as to their usefulness, these firearms are a very good way to introduce recoil sensitive individuals to the shooting sports.  That's something we should ALL value, as our rights continue to fall victim to the ignorant and uninformed!  As for myself, I have no delusions of being some Top Secret Navy SEAL just because I have a Semi-auto pistol w/brace variant of a subgun, but rather I made the decision to own these as a means of getting my wife and children more involved in the shooting sports.  That I have the added bonus of a firearm in the house that my wife or older children can more accurately use to defend themselves in the event of a home invasion when I am not home is icing on the cake!

I can't get excited about a range toy of dubious utility.

Even the Skorpion with the regular stock will not be interesting.  Pistol caliber carbines are so 90s......

Now a semi auto Bren rifle for less than $1500, yeah, you got my attention.

I think its actually a much better option for home defense for the recoil sensitive, or straight up weak than either a handgun or shotgun would be.

As for the Bren...  I hear that the semi-auto pistol variant may be unveiled at SHOT with them coming in after April, but at an MSRP of $2,100.  That price is very much out of line with CZ's value pricing, so I doubt it will be as popular or sell as well as the EVO3.

NOW we're talkin'!

YEAH MAN!!!!  I've got two ordered through my CZ dealer!  Can't wait til January now!

[TF135Sierra2Xray]

Yes, sir. About a half-century in design and manufacture difference but using the mostly similar model name. The "EVO" is certainly not a Curio and Relic like the Vz61. Might need to be classified separately under Pistol Club (along with the CZ 805 Bren) but then, if and when the carbine versions arrive, will they need a Long Arms club too? ;-)

From the looks of the field strip, I think it borrows ALOT from the H&K UMP!  Not that that's a bad thing.  If it does hopefully we will see future drop in conversions to .40S&W and .45ACP!

I like and appreciate the free service this forum provides.

[Litomysl94]

Could you post a link to the website of your CZ dealer?  Or if that violates the rules, can you pm it to me?  Thanks!

[armoredman]

Yes, it is and always will be free. Lets keep this as civil as possible - we have the vast diversity of firearms available because if everyone liked exactly the same thing, life would be boring. As for a possible BREN 805 pistol or semi-auto rifle...I can dream, I can dream...
