I know, but damn I want this gun in my hands now!
Honestly, I'd be a bit surprised if CZ raises their price. I'm sure all the dealers that get their hands on them first will jack up the prices sky high. But look at the KSG. Keltec initially was projecting MSRP at around $800. They were in super short demand at first, selling for over twice that. But now, you can find them right in that range (it didn't help that all the craziness happened and nearly every tacticool gun went way up in price).
If you wait long enough, I'll bet you can buy an EVO pistol for $800, which I might be tempted to do. Until then, I guess my MP5 SBR will have to be good enough.
The difference between Keltec and CZ-USA is lightyears though. Keltec is notorious for announcing a new gun and then not delivering. Think PMR-30, RFB, KSG, CMR-30. All of them missed the scheduled release date and supply has only recently caught up with demand. And only because the people who initially wanted them either got sick of waiting and got something different, gave up or paid twice the MSRP for one. I'm sure the Scorpion will be a huge hit for CZ and I anticipate a surge at first but I doubt CZ-USA would pull a Keltec and announce a product they weren't ready and able to sell by the truck loads. And barring another "man made disaster" I doubt we will see the madness like before.
Until then, I guess my MP5 SBR will have to be good enough.
Do we have any idea when these will be released?
