    Nice stuff.

    I was never a fan of the Scorpion when I could have bought one new, writing it off as a gimmicky hand cannon. Then about 4-6 years ago I bought one on a whim, and discovered that they are actually really nice.

    Gimmicky... Wouldn't say so.
    Hand cannon...Most definately.

    Didn't Octopussy's female guards use them in the 007 film?

    I think I paid £40 each for the two outer ones of these, It was a while ago so I may be mistaken!



    Each one has a different safety!!

    I see you like these brutes ! They are good performers, high power plus accuracy. My first house cost $3000 and that also was quite a while ago ! My first car was £16, and my marriage ceremony was 7/6d.
