If you could pick only one (outside the USA): cz scorpion evo 3 s1 vs taurus RPC
Title says it all. I plan on buying one of these two soon.
But here is the catch: I live in Brazil. Firearms are very expensive here. Normally the scorpion costs around 60% more, but I have found a small shop that sells both for almost the same price. It was produced in 2021 or 2022.
I need to get this purchase right. While the scorpion feels more outdated, it has a great track record and reliability. Yet I have also heard of OOB issues. How often are those? Do the 2021-2022 models still have this problem? I will not shoot it very often (like 200 rounds per year at best). Ammo is at least 5 to 10 times more expensive here than in the US. But I will use it whenever I am on duty and for home defense (yes, I am allowed to use my own firearms at work). Getting spare parts can be tricky, we dont have those nexus parts here, but I have found some spare mags (cz and magpul) and Mcarbo kits.
For those who own both, which one would be better in the long run? I really don't plan on selling the gun in the near future.
Scorpion comes with 2 mags, 20rds each, while the taurus comes with 3 32rds mags. Taurus is roller delayed, already has a factory flat-face trigger and I can choose between the super small 4.5" or 8" variant. It seems to me like a no-brainer, but I wanted to know the opinion of those who are experienced with the scorpion because it has a huge tradition in the pcc world.
If I could, I would personally get a kuna, but we dont have any for sale. Stribog is also out of the question. These two are basically the only pccs I can find for sale. We do also have some AR-9s, but they seem like trash.
