10 Great Aftermarket Upgrades for the CZ Scorpion

Success is like fine art: Hard to define, but you know it when you see it.

With firearms, one accepted measure is how long they have been around and how many units have been sold. The Remington 870 shotgun comes to mind; introduced in 1950, it’s sold more than 12 million units. Same with Glock; it’s been around 36 years and sold about a bazillion (which I believe is the official number). These guns can safely be called successful. But what of those guns with a shorter timeline? Can we define or at least predict their success?

One good measure for a lot of firearms is the number of aftermarket gewgaws offered to upgrade and accessorize the gun. Considering the high cost of tooling up and the small profit margins, the small-business owner who pulls the trigger on launching a new aftermarket accessory is betting heavily on the success of that firearm.

Let’s look at the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 for example. The number of bolt-on accessories is growing faster than baby Yoda. Well, that’s a bad example, considering he is an infant at 50. But anyway, let’s just agree the gun’s popularity is growing pretty fast.

The CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 is sort of, maybe, kinda, based very loosely on the famous Škorpion Czechoslovak machine pistol. At least they almost share the same name, do share the same maker and they are both large, 9 mm “handguns” (the Škorpion vz. 68 was a 9 mm). Judging by the number of aftermarket accessories and parts available from multiple sources for the Scorpion EVO 3 S1, it is clearly wildly successful for a platform that’s just a few years old.
