CZ Evo3: Soon Marketed as Pistol in USA

[Kirk Freeman]

New year, new gun.

It's here. Gentlemen, start your whining about calibers and colours.

CZ Scorpion Evo 3 Pistols To Hit Market in 2015 - The Firearm Blog

 

[kawtech87]

I want!

 

[IndyGunworks]

hopefully my guys can track one of these down. Wish I still had my FFL

 

[IndyGlockMan]

Looks cool, but it's just another giagantic hand gun IMHO. Not for me.

It does have a mean sounding poisonous arachnid name, so naturally it will sell.

 

[IndyGunworks]

It will sell because there is a HUGE market for a UMP, or MP5 looking 9mm carbine. this fills that role w/ a price tag many will deem acceptable. It will be a fantastic SBR base.

The difference between Keltec and CZ-USA is lightyears though. Keltec is notorious for announcing a new gun and then not delivering. Think PMR-30, RFB, KSG, CMR-30. All of them missed the scheduled release date and supply has only recently caught up with demand. And only because the people who initially wanted them either got sick of waiting and got something different, gave up or paid twice the MSRP for one. I'm sure the Scorpion will be a huge hit for CZ and I anticipate a surge at first but I doubt CZ-USA would pull a Keltec and announce a product they weren't ready and able to sell by the truck loads. And barring another "man made disaster" I doubt we will see the madness like before.

Took me over a year to get a CZ97b.....

Wow, lucky, in which year did you order it? When it first came out?

I've heard from multiple sources that CZ only imports a certain number of each model per year and they have a tendency to go quickly. No one seems to be able to tell me exactly when the ships hot the docks but it always seems like CZs are easier to find early in the year then get more scarce as the year goes on. But that is just a guess based on hearsay and my own observations. So if you want a new CZ pistol now is the time to start looking. With new model launches however, like with the P-07 and P-09, it seems like they do pretty well to put plenty of them out there. Still I bet this will be a hot ticket and probably sell out quickly. Especially at its advertised price.

Perfect candidate for my next SBR.

If they offer the factory buttstock, CZ told me they weren't sure if they'd offer it or not

I think an AR buttstock kit would be funky looking

I'm betting somebody will come out with an after market stock.

This. If nothing else

Given that INGO has its fair share of CZ fans, apparently CZ is set to release the Evo3 as a pistol (perhaps arm brace adapters tba).

We shall see what SHOT 2015 brings.

Is this considered a short barrel rifle?

No sir, this is a pistol. There are a bunch of us that want to turn it into a SBR, that's why people are talking about stocks for it.

And just a couple days ago, CZ announced the S1 is officially on the market but I checked with my local store and they still haven't found anyone that has it in inventory yet. Also the moment I wanted to get the Thordsen buffer kit, they are out of stock

 

[Nsw550]

anyone see any of these out at our local gun stores?
