CZ-USA Introduces Enhanced Scorpion 3+ Magpul Edition for 2025

Evolution of the Czech Scorpion Platform

The CZ Scorpion EVO 3 submachine gun first entered service in 2009, marking a significant advancement in Czech small arms design. This platform was subsequently adapted for civilian markets, transforming into semi-automatic carbine and large-format pistol variants specifically tailored for U.S. consumers. While bearing the designation of the third generation Czech Scorpion (originally "Skorpion"), the American market versions continued their evolutionary path with the introduction of the Scorpion 3+ in 2022.

2025 Product Launch: Magpul Edition Enhancement

Building upon the successful foundation of the 3+ platform, CZ-USA is introducing a specialized Magpul Edition variant to their Scorpion 3+ catalog for 2025. This collaboration represents a continuation of the partnership that previously produced the enhanced Magpul Edition of the original Scorpion EVO S3.

Core Platform Specifications

The Scorpion 3+ operates as a blowback-operated, semi-automatic carbine chambered for 9mm Luger ammunition. This latest iteration incorporates numerous refinements specifically developed for the American shooting market.

Enhanced Design Features and Improvements

Ambidextrous Control Integration

The 3+ generation introduces comprehensive bilateral controls that provide full ambidextrous operation:

• Safety selector: Accessible from both sides of the receiver
• Bolt release: Dual-sided operation for enhanced accessibility
• Magazine release: Transition from paddle-type to AR-style button configuration

Receiver Modernization

The upper and lower receivers have undergone significant redesign and streamlining compared to previous generations, incorporating lessons learned from the original platform while addressing specific user feedback from the American market.
