CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Pistol Review
About this video
Colion traces the evolution of CZ’s Scorpion platform from the underpowered 1960s CZ-61 submachine gun through its modern incarnation. He reviews the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 pistol, the civilian semi-auto variant, praising its ergonomics, ambidextrous controls, balance, and reliability. Despite lacking full-auto capability and a stock, Colion describes the pistol as impressive and well-priced, particularly when paired with an aftermarket brace adapter.
