That was a typo, I meant to say 'a couple hundred bucks more'
Price checking shows the GHM9 pistol to be about $500-600 more than a CZ Scorpion Evo3 pistol. I don't think you know what "a couple hundred bucks" is.
And the GHM9 brace w/ adapter on Atlantic Firearms is another $500, versus $230 for the Gear Head Works brace/CZ folder (with many other less expensive options available).
And of course mags for the Scorpion Evo 3 are less than half the price of the GHM9 mags. You're going to want some of those.
But my point still stands.
The CZ with say two hundred bucks worth of upgrades (plus time & effort) isn't even in the same league as the B&T for example. So if one is going to spend hundreds on 'improvements', just jump in all the way, thats my point.
To each his own, but I simply don't get it.
Outside of a brace (which you'll still likely want if you don't plan to SBR your GHM9 pistol), I'm talking about ~$30 for different thumb safeties. Which not everyone will feel the need for.
Sorry, dude - you are just way off base here. You should have done a little more math in your head before posting. A "few bucks" became a "couple hundred bucks" then became much, much more.
I looked at the CZ's as well when they first started showing up here, I even plunked down some cash and took some home. But when I compared them side by side it was a total no brainer being two-thirds of the way to a B&T. If one likes the CZ bone stock I can see the argument, but as soon as one starts forking out cash.....
Well, one's a nicely-finished boutique pseudo-submachinegun and the the other is pseudo-submachinegun based on a military arm that's seen fairly widespread military and police unit adoption. Both sling 9mm pills reliably (the CZ perhaps moreso with its longer history of development).
Make your choice. Neither is necessarily a bad one if you can afford it.
