I've been wanting a 9mm carbine and finally scratched the itch. I picked up a CZ Scorpion carbine with the "faux" silencerco silencer. I can't tell you how much fun I had with this thing. I stuck my Holoson red dot on, and after a few shots had it dialed in.
I wanted to shoot some steel targets but the range I was at wouldn't let me shoot on the pistol range with it, which is surprising since it's just a 9mm. Oh well...
It ran flawlessly and I probably put about 150 rounds through it. I can't wait to go back. If you're considering one, get one. They're loads of fun.
I'd love to SBR one with that handguard, a Silencerco Octane 9K, and Zhukov folding stock. Sadly with an Aimpoint T2 and Surefire X300U that'd probably end up running around $3k, and as I already have a suppressed 9mm SBR I just can't justify it.
Someone's been watching Military Arms Channel on youtube!! I want to do the same, SBR/supressor but for now I'm happy with it stock. I looked at some of the higher end red dots and just couldn't justify it. I've never had one so I went with a more "budget" option with the Holosun/Sig to see if I liked shooting with it.
Of all the red dots I looked at, I do think the MRO is worth the extra $ just for the larger field of view, but I'm extremely impressed with my $200 Holosun.

Looks like a fun fun for sure! Congrats and thanks for sharing. I recently acquired a 9mm AR Pistol and I understand the fun of a 9mm in such a platform.

Can't say I like the fake can; apparently, it's no big thing to screw it off and add a flash hider?
This whole plastic gun thing is still new to me, but apparently these should be durable. The Czechs use 'em as buzz guns.

I went to the range again tonight and just love the Scorpion. It's literally the most fun I've ever had shooting, by a long shot and they are so damn accurate!
This was at 25 yards with my cheap Holosun red-dot shooting while standing and firing just about as fast as I could. I thought it was pretty darn good. This is not a full size target by the way, there are 5 of these on the target so it was probably 12" tall.
It does "look" like it should be next to the SCAR but they could NOT be more different. The SCAR used to be my favorite rifle, but it's been replaced by the Scorpion. If you shoot one, you will want one - seriously. It's just a blast.
It's no wonder why sub-machines guns like the MP5/Uzi are so popular. Pistol caliber carbines are just awesome!
Preaching to the choir on pistol caliber carbines. If I had it to do over, I'd have more PCCs and a couple fewer ARs. If things don't go totally to chit in two weeks, I may rearrange some things in the arsenal.
Currently have the pistol iteration of the Scorp; it's in BATF purgatory, waiting to get a stock. I tried a 'brace' and wasn't totally satisfied, tho' they make a temporary solution, and the adapter plate works with AR buffer-tube setups as well.
