The CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 has a good following in airsoft with the licensed version produced by ActionSportGames (ASG). It has one of the best ergonomics and operation for a 9mm and CZ decided to improve on it producing perhaps the next best thing since the H&K MP5K, the Scorpion EVO 3+ Pistol.

Left handed shooters can also appreciate the improvements. Whilst the EVO 3 already has an ambidextrous safety controls, the EVO 3+ also features ambidextrous bolt catch and the magazine release can also be pressed on either side. Also the magazine designed for it is backwards compatible and can be used by the other EVO 3 variants such as the S1 and S2 which also have their own pistol and micro editions.

ASG have not yet produced the other variants mentioned above though they already have the B.E.T. Carbine and I wonder when they will be producing those. But I would not mind if they do skip those variants and decided to produce the Scorpion EVO 3+ pistol and the more compact EVO 3+ Micro Pistol. It looks a handy thing that you can use for CQB games. Speedsofters can take a liking for this.

CZ Announces New and Upgraded CZ Scorpion 3+ Pistol

Kansas City, KS – The CZ Scorpion EVO 3 set the standard for large format 9mm pistols. The new CZ Scorpion 3+ builds on those proven features, adding customer-requested upgrades. The fully redesigned pistol not only improves the Scorpion’s ergonomics and user-friendly operation, but it incorporates advanced materials that are tougher and lighter than before.

Ambidextrous controls are the gold standard in modern firearm design. In addition to the ambi safety found on the EVO 3, the Scorpion 3+ includes an ambidextrous bolt catch allowing for the user to operate it left or right-handed.

The new ergonomic grip design makes it a more comfortable shooting experience for the user. The M-LOK® handguard is now upgraded from aluminum to polymer to reduce heat transfer.

A slimmed-down upper receiver accommodates more options when attaching different accessories to replace the end cap. A redesigned magwell is resized, adding more purchase on the handguard for large or gloved hands. The adjustable four aperture aluminum sights are updated to deliver lower 1/3 co-witness with popular red dots, providing a better sight picture and reliable backup.

CZ added recessed texture to the magazine for positive purchase during reloads. Users will also notice a locking window on the mag body that accommodates the new AR-style mag release. New Scorpion 3+ magazines are also compatible with previous generations of the Scorpion.
