Imitation is the highest form of flattey! I appreciate the kind words. As for the trigger, check out the HBI options - they also reduce overtravel in a similar way as the one I designed. Tandemkross has a cool trigger option as well that also includes pre-travel adjustment. Good luck with your build! Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing!

@dltz do you happen to have the digital file of the mount you made for your light pressure pad? I have a buddy who has a printer that may be able to make it for me if you do not mind. Also, looking forward to any future content bro! Glad to see the 2a community out doing things

@@ryanm5510Totally! Here is my grabcad page where I post all my models - information for each individual part is included with the model and there is a link to videos on each model: grabcad.com/dltz-1/models Here is a video where I go over all the models I have made: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdmTda6o0LXSY40.html

@@dltz you are the absolute best! Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! and congrats on your new scorpion!

Thanks so much I really appreciate it!!

It looked a little suspect to me at first as well. I have ordered a lot of stuff from them at this point and have never had an issue getting it shipped to the US.

I appreciate that. I have thought of selling the parts I design and make for guns, but I do not know if I really want to go through the trouble of doing so. If you're looking for a pressure pad mount specific to the Streamlight I would recommend Shaffer Machining: www.shaffermachining.com/product-page/streamlight-pressure-switch-m-lok-mount There are way more options out there for the Surefire tape switches but I cannot justify the cost of the Surefire scout lights to myself. Thanks for watching!

Finally decided to publish my designs. Here is a video with all the information and link to my grabCAD page: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdmTda6o0LXSY40.html

Heck yeah! That color looks sick. My buddy just built one up in gray and it looks awesome too! The handguard I got comes in OD green and gray as well. And the YetiWurks grip comes in OD green too. Great way to improve ergos and keep the sick color! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks sir, I appreciate it!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

I had this light laying around so I ordered the arisaka mount for it. I was going to get the TLR rail mount 1. That would be a great option too. It attaches directly to picatinny rail.

Thank you! I am glad it was helpful. The scorpion has a huge amount of aftermarket support which is another reason it's such a great platform. Thanks for watching and commenting!

It's one of my favorite guns to shoot suppressed, especially with subsonic ammo! Its so much fun! Look into the 125% recoil spring from Ascalon Arms if you are going to shoot it suppressed a lot - I put out a video on that spring recently.

Thanks! I appreciate the subscription and comment buddy!

Thanks for your comment and subscribing! I really appreciate it. I have a lot of fun with my gun projects! I'm very pleased with how the 3D printed parts are holding up.

Thanks! I appreciate it! The Scorpion is such a cool platform.

@@dltz Yes it is.

Chyea man I posted all my designs on GrabCAD. grabcad.com/dltz-1/models

Fantastic! Thank you@@dltz

Including the $200 tax stamp I wanna say $2100-$2200. Cant quite remember it's been a while. It may be in a reply to another comment.

Any 9mm suppressor will do.

The link to the picatinny cable guides is in the description already. Here is the link to the M-Lok scout light mount I used: www.amazon.com/dp/B09RXTQWYQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The pressure pad mount is my own design and I 3D printed it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

It's a direct blow back 9mm. It's a bit gassy but not terrible. Not really anything you can do about it other than a flow thru suppressor rather than a baffle core design.

If you do not have a rifle. Buy an AR-15. This is technically a "short barreled rifle," but really its a pistol you can fire from your shoulder. Its not very useful past 50 yards. Also, paying for the tax stamp is an extra 200 dollars. Buy an AR-15, the most common rifle in America, that shoots the most common caliber in America. For the price of this (including tax stamp it was $2200) you can build out a sick AR with great features and a nice optic. Remember - all rifles need a sling, optic, and white light minimum. Hope this helps... build an AR. The 16" carbine version of this would be a fine choice for a rifle except they are discontinued and you cannot find them anymore unless someone is selling a used one.

@@dltz appreciate it brother. The range was a concern of mine. That just cleared that up. AR it is. Any suggestions on a decent reliable starter AR ?

@@ChrisCom. I like to build my own ARs and I always start with Aero Precision - I really like their products. I have had good luck with Palmetto State Armory products as well. In terms of fully built ARs depending on price look into PSA, BCM, Daniel Defense, Ruger, Sig, IWI. It depends on if you want to buy one and run it, or modify it. If you're into building and modifying then maybe just start with a build - its pretty straight forward, lots of great videos out there, and also the AR15 is all mil-spec so the parts and components are all generally going to be compatible (don't forget to check head spacing though!!). If you think you might only change out a stock or a pistol grip then just buy a complete gun. Start with a 16" barrel gun - that way you don't have to worry about making it an SBR or pin and welding a muzzle device, you can put whatever muzzle device you want on it. Those are just my recommendations, I am by no means an expert on ARs, but I hope this helps!

@@dltz appreciate it 🙏🏻 thanks brother

This is the Rugged Obsidian 45. I run it on 45 caliber pistols and my 9mms all the time. Its very modular so you can configure it however you want. I run 45 caliber boosters, 9mm boosters, 9mm direct thread, and 9mm 3 lug. I am very happy with it and have found solutions in the Rugged product line for every gun I want to run it on. I highly recommend it. As for the noise difference I feel it is negligible. My buddy has the Obsidian 9mm and if I put a 9mm front cap on mine (so the baffles are 45 cal, but the front of the suppressor where the bullet exits is 9mm) and I cannot tell a difference in noise with or without hearing protection. These suppressors are very well regarded and very popular and I feel it is for a good reason. In terms of putting it on a Scorpion, you can use 3 lug (requires a thread on muzzle device) or direct thread - either option would work great! I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions I can do my best to answer them here if you reply to this comment thread. Thanks for watching!

@@dltz so you shoot it without ear pro it's that quiet? If so that's awsome

@@brantleyspringmeyer2576 I almost never shoot without hearing protection. Depending on the 9mm round the bullet is still breaking the sound barrier and making a super sonic crack which is above the level of hearing safe. Always wear your PPE! Subsonic ammo in 9mm with this suppressor is hearing safe although I still generally wear hearing protection as extended exposure is not good.

I ordered this back in July 2022 when the 3+ started hitting the shelves. I specifically wanted this one due to the aftermarket support. I figured with the 3+ coming out the Evo 3 S1 pistol would be discontinued soon. It looks like its still available. The scorpion carbines have been discontinued. If you're in the US they are still available currently on Midway, Buds gun shop, and Palmetto state armory. Actually on sale with a rebate right now too.

@@dltz bro you goated asf thanks so much! I’m bout to head out and go get one ordered homie frrrr 😂😂😂😂😂

@@dltz which site got that sale ?

@@BWM4L I think the best deal is on budsgunshop.com currently. about $850 with a rebate available.

@@BWM4L My pleasure! Glad to help! You won't be disappointed with this gun its so much fun!

Thanks for commenting! I appreciate the input! I have not published any of my designs. I'm a bit in a weird space with that. Part of me wants to make them available to anyone who wants them. Part of me wants to sell them as I have many designs for many guns (some are featured in other videos), while trying to remain anonymous as possible. What I would rather see happen is that others get inspired to take on some design work themselves and come up with their own solutions - especially with how accessible additive manufacturing is now. Short answer is No, I have not published my designs and I do not know if I will do that or sell them in the future. If something changes, the people who have commented on my videos asking about my designs will be notified. Thanks again!

@@dltz OK. All clear. Thank you for the explanation. I understand you. Well... I'm going to grab my caliper and go do something with it in Fusion360. Thanks for inspiration 🙂

@@BaronOnlineCZ Excellent! I would love to see your design and what you come up with!

My eyes were fine, thanks for your concern. I was outdoors, little bit of wind, and safety glasses on. I shot it a lot that day (and have since) with the suppressor on it and it never bothered me. Unsuppressed it's fine.

Alright, I added up what I paid for all this stuff - $2200. Prices are currently higher than what I paid on most parts. I paid $950 for the gun. This cost includes the tax stamp, light, and optic. Hope this helps. Also ouchy! Spendy boy.

I've been waiting for a comment like this on my videos. Haha I know I'm an anxious fuck.
