Is the scorpion still worth it in 2026?

Full auto? Yes Semi? Sadly no. I love my scorp, but would recommend something that can take an FRT instead

Scorpion you say

I like the Scorp. Not a lot of recoil, accurate, easy to maneuver through my house, and does great suppressed with subs. Are there better options? Absolutely. But I like this.

Cost + functionality + availability = yes.

Yup

Anything in 9mm remains viable simply due to round cost. The scorpion is goated.

It is to me.

I love mine. Fits in a backpack 🎒

If you install the Nexus delayed-blowback receiver and their upgraded bolt, yes. It allows you to shoot +P and FRT without the chance of an OOBD destroying your gun. The OEM bolt is made out of soft metal and eventually a peen covers the striker block preventing the firing pin's movement. These two parts delete that issue.

I have an EVO 3 with a Franklin armory binary trigger and it is such a great gun. A fan favorite on range day. One of my personal favorites for the easy takedown, cleaning, and back into service. I've never had any issues running any ammo through it either, it's been super reliable since I got it back in 2020? or so. It's held up well.

Given the mags are expensive and there aren't that many off brand makers of them, the scorpion is unfortunately falling behind as new carbines come out that are more compact and affordable. People want a compact backpack carbine if God forbid things go south to get to safety.

Love it! Started with less than a $100 to make it better than stock. A different grip, different selector switch & a $10 spring to make the trigger much less than 10lbs. In five years and 7000 plus rounds it has been super reliable. I do check the bolt and the block is good.

I know guys to pay way too much money for “tactical” lever actions, so I’m going with yes. The Scorpion is still worth it.

I love mine!

I have 2 so yes.

My inner czech says yes

The 3+ micro is for me after a form 1 and a Stealth Addictive Works SHIV that beautifully fits into the handguard.

I like mind as it sits, but the only thing left factory is the part with the serial number, and that may change soon.

Nah. Better off getting an AR 9MM pistol. WAY more parts that are FAR cheaper

This video made me pull my scorpion out of the safe. The range is now calling me.

Not since the crazy price increase. Luckily I as able to build this in it's place, @matadorarms on @nfarmory lower.

Love that weapon. I’m not too crazy about the stock trigger but overall it’s an A+

works even better with a Timney trigger in it

Put 5000+ rounds through mine, no faulures, paid under $600 many years ago, adding upgrades along the way. Wish they had a FRT for them but that’s my only complaint. Longer foregaurd enclosing a short suppressor is my favorite way to run mine.

Is it cheaper than a CMMG running Glock mags?

No. CZ hasn’t been worth it since they offered to help disarm Canadians. Prove me wrong.

For someone who owns one and uses a Holosun circle dot I can genuinely say that accurate 100 yard shots are a breeze and at 7-10 yards just point and shoot without lining up the sights is easy. So me keeping it is not a problem for me at all . I’m not going full auto.

I still enjoy the wind of change

Yup.

Yes

To each their own

My coworker brought his in and we shot it out back on break, it's a really fun gun. Cheap to shoot, probably a solid HD gun, packs down neatly, runs smooth.

It likes to find its way back in to the conversation every few years. Mines Currently awaiting the parts for a full nexus conversion with the bullpup. And im sure there something else fun will come out for it in a few more years
