CZ-USA has redesigned its popular 9mm Scorpion 3 series pistol with feedback from users and this week introduced a new standard, the Scorpion 3+.
The newest Czech PCC boasts improved ergonomics, ambidextrous controls, including a new ambi bolt catch, and an AR-style mag release accessible on both sides of the frame. Further, the new Scorpion ditches the aluminum handguard of past models in favor of a new M-LOK polymer type that doesn't heat up as fast.

As part of improvements to the lower receiver, the 9mm pistol has a redesigned magwell that has been resized, which CZ says adds more area on the handguard for large or gloved hands. In a sting to those with stacks of legacy Scorpion EVO 3 mags on hand, the new Scorpion 3+ mags are backward compatible to older models but not vice versa. (Photo: CZ-USA)
