Cz Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Vs S2

So, you're thinking about joining the Cz Scorpion fan club? Excellent choice! But then comes the big question: S1 or S2? It’s like choosing between chocolate chip cookies and double chocolate chip cookies. Both are awesome, but there's a difference!

The Great Scorpion Showdown: S1 vs. S2

Let’s cut to the chase. The Cz Scorpion Evo 3 S1 was the original. Think of it as the OG Scorpion, the one that started it all. It was the cool kid on the block, setting the standard for pistol caliber carbines.

Then came the S2. Now, the S2 is like the S1's slightly more rebellious younger sibling. It's got some attitude, some tweaks, and a whole lot of personality. Let's see what makes them unique.

Brace Yourself!

One of the biggest differences boils down to braces. The S1 often had a brace adapter slapped on after purchase. It was kind of like adding racing stripes to your minivan after realizing you wanted to go to a car show.

The S2, on the other hand, sometimes came ready to rock with a folding brace already attached. It’s like the manufacturer knew you were gonna want it anyway and saved you the trouble. It’s all about that convenience.

Muzzle Mania

The muzzle is another point of contention, or maybe amusement. The S1 had a pretty standard muzzle device. Think plain, simple, gets the job done.

The S2 often sported a different muzzle device, usually with a shorter barrel. This gave it a slightly more compact profile. It was aiming for the cool, suppressed look right out of the box. Think of it as the difference between wearing sneakers or tactical boots.

The Suppressor Situation

Speaking of suppressors, the shorter barrel on some S2 models made them more appealing to those who wanted to suppress their Scorpion. Less barrel sticking out past your suppressor is often a good thing. Less awkward, more tactical.

But don’t get the wrong idea! Both the S1 and S2 can be suppressed. It's just that the S2 might feel a little more natural with a can on the end. Like pairing wine with cheese, it’s all about the right combination.

The Trigger Tango

Triggers are a big deal for many shooters. The stock triggers on both the S1 and S2 are... well, let's just say they leave room for improvement. It's not terrible, but it can feel like a slightly spongy handshake.

Luckily, the aftermarket is flooded with amazing Scorpion triggers. So, regardless of whether you choose an S1 or S2, you can always upgrade. It's like adding a turbocharger to your car, even if it didn’t come with one from the factory.

Which One is Right For You?

Ultimately, the "best" Scorpion really depends on your personal preferences and needs. If you’re on a tighter budget, the S1 might be a great option, especially if you don’t mind adding a brace later.

If you want something a little more compact and suppressor-ready, the S2 might be the ticket. Remember, the most important thing is to get out there and have some fun. Besides, at the end of the day, they’re both Scorpions. You're in for a good time.

So, happy shooting! And may your magazines always be full of joy (and ammo!).
