was looking up some SKU's CZ's website and saw this:
s2 micro pistol


hope it comes true. wondering if the "S2" has more options than just this...even though its pretty attractive option.

That is very close to how I modified my CZ, using the HBI short barrel and micro handguard. I want to sbr it and add a zhukov stock.

That at least looks like a pistol.

That’s just what I was thinking. With the K length barrel/handguard the Scorpion gets very short. I SBR’d my carbine and it’s a blast.

Crappy cell phone pic of mine with the Octane attached via 3 lug.

I’ve got a 3 lug on mine too and waiting for an Omega 9k.

I would love that!

Bad ass! Uh oh!

I've got one of the HBI hand guard, 5 inch barrel conversion pistols that inspired CZ to offer this product from the factory.

Cons include the fact that even the factory version looks set to sell for $1100.00 once supplies catch up with demand. And honestly, for the Allen screws, roll pin and polymer construction, it just doesn't feel enough went into these guns to justify that cost. They are even straight blowback, but cost as much as a good mid tier AR.

We also need to list the horrible ergonomics here. Terrible grip angle, awkward safety location, heavy trigger poundage, weird magazine release and charging handle size lead many CZ owners to dump at least another $200 in parts to address.

Lastly, in cons is the odd for a supposed service weapon lack of a proven factory magazine option. The first 2 gens had feed lip cracking issues reported. The third gen, pmag inspired looker is really new to the market. So, we owners buy magazines from Prepper Gun Shop and Palmetto State Armory. Grateful for the options, I own both and prefer the PSA offering. However, neither of the company's to my knowledge have experience designing and fielding mags of their design prior to these endeavors. I could be wrong.

Ok, past all of the real life drawbacks, the gun is great in usage. I polished my feed ramp to allow the usage of steel cased ammo and haven't looked back. Accuracy is high note and one I think I can speak to as my barrel is a cut down CZ barrel.

The S2 package is great for back packing and really carries well. It is an easy gun to live with in this role and fills the PDW position just fine. They are easy to clean with only the massive bolt and barrel to real focus on. Reliability has been good.

I would recommend cross shopping this with the Vector or Ruger PCC if you can get away with the length.

I just got a new CZ Scorpion Micro a couple of days ago. I was fortunate enough to find it online from a seller that chose to sell it at a reasonable price ($1059) unlike others who are charging a premium because of it's scarceness.
I've had a chance to take it to the range twice so far and it's a blast to shoot. Very accurate and 100% reliable, it's becoming one of my favorite firearms.
kalford hit the nail right on the head. It's a fantastic little gun but the ergonomics of it sucks. Generally I keep all my firearms pretty much stock. I occasionally do some minor upgrades for either functionality or appearance, but the Scorpion is one gun that really needs some minor modifications to make it shine. The things I'm going to address will be adding another brand grip that is more vertical, changing out the safety control lever, changing the trigger springs to a lighter set along with a new flat trigger, and change the charging handle to a larger one. Fortunately modification for the Scorpion are relatively cheap and it's one of the easiest platforms to work on that I've seen.
It's a little disappointing to buy a new firearm and have to turn around and spend more money to modify it, but from reading others' reviews I knew what to expect. In a way it's a lot like an AR as far as personalizing it to your tastes. How many people do you know that buy an AR and not make a lot of additions to it?
The gun really is fun to shoot, so once these minor problems are addressed, I'm sure that I'm really going to enjoy owning this new CZ.
Again, like kalford said, the price is getting up there, especially considering it's largely polymer construction, but if you compare it to the competition (Kriss Vector, MPX, PTR and others) it is several hundreds cheaper. And as far as the polymer construction, the Scorpion has been in use in military and police applications around the world for years so evidently it's a pretty robust design. So far I've yet to hear of any major problems with it.

This is one reason I grabbed the MPX before they jacked the price up. I grabbed the MPX for like $1,200 and slapped the brace on it. Done.

By the time I bought the scorpion & put $2-$300 into it. I was real close to the cost of the MPX.

Can you make your thread title more descriptive so people don't have to click in to see why you've posted.

I made one out of a Scorpion regular pistol. I wanted an integral tri lug on the barrel, so I figured I was going to change out the barrel anyways, there was no point in waiting for the factory one.

It’s a blast to shoot. Putting the binary in it was a riot! I highly recommend the franklin armory binary for the giggle factor alone.

One of my favorite parts of the Scorpion is all of the aftermarket support. They’re cheap enough that you can play around and dress it up how you’d like and play. I’ll proabaly build another one of some sort to add to this one and my SBR Scorpion.

Have y’all seen Rob Ski’s test of the Scorpion? They’re are built like tanks! He’s pouring sand into the action while shooting and it doesn’t skip a beat. He still has 1k rounds to go to finish his standard 5k round test, but here is the 4K round update with the sand test.
