Received, cleaned and shot my Evo earlier today. Apologies in advance for the cursory review. (Imageshack not be agreeable).

The pistol came fairly clean with factory oil and light grease in a cardboard box (sim to a SCAR). Finish is what I would consider average and about what I'd expected on a polymer gun. The smooth and rough spots create some variation in texture but not enough to distract. Everything feels decently well-made except for the selector, which looks and feels cheap. However, it does have a positive click. I'll be buying the first aftermarket one I see. I could also see a replacement charging handle as well because this one seems quite small. It fits the gun well but some of you guys with big hands might find it annoying. I didn't find the grip and grip angle to be as awkward as it sometimes looks in pictures.

The field strip is simple with one captured pin holding everything: trigger pack pops out, pull handle rearward, pull bolt and spring down and out. Tough to clean this barrel without a boresnake - good thing it comes with one.

Ran one mag (nice quality) through it with a single-point sling with no issues. Broke a lot of clay pots. Ergonomics are nice, but they would obviously be even better with a brace, cover or stock. Feels solid without being too heavy or cumbersome.

Recoil was minimal - although I felt it a little more compared to my departed MP5 (different gas though so not surprised). Not much flash signature. Sound has a nice deep crack to it. Barrel threads look good. Action is smoother than I expected. The trigger is a bit creepy but the break is pretty sharp.

Overall, I'm happy to add this to my collection (and now know I won't be messing with the MPX). I wasn't as excited for the release as some are but it's certainly a nice little package for what it is. CZ is going to make a killing with these. If you're excited for your order, stay excited, it'll be worth the wait.

Nice initial observation.

I can't wait for mine

Thanks for posting.  Is the grip removable/replaceable, or is it integrated into the lower receiver?

No problem. Yes, there is a screw in the grip and I think it detaches. Didn't mess with it yet though. I thought I saw something in the manual that said that the grip is adjustable front to back but I didn't have time to investigate yet.

Ok thanks. Hopefully someone will offer aftermarket grips for it before too long (cough, Magpul, cough).

+1. It's the only thing I dont like about the gun. No texture on the sides, and the swell on the bottom looks ridiculous.

Pictures?

Here's pics of mine I got today. ...

For those that are getting them; did you have them on preorder?

I can't find any. What's the thread pitch?

I found mine at a gun show today for $875 plus tax.

The thread pitch is 18x1 metric from what I heard....gonna require an adapter. I wanna put my Gemtech GM--9 on mine.

Nice gun- congrats, let us know how it shoots.

Btw- about that adapter, do you know of such a beast, expecting a commerical option eventually or are you thinking custom job?

SilencerCo is reportedly working on an adapter as we speak. Can't wait!

What gun show?  If its near me I might have to go through and check these out.  Been looking forward to them.

The one in Hampton. Mine was literally the only one in the building.....I got lucky. Hahaha

Hampton is too far for me anyway..haha

I'll have to see if any of the local shops will order one for me.

That thing is sweet. How much are the mags and what capacity do they come in?

Any larger capacity magazines available?  Is the stock available?

$18-$20. 30, 20, 10.



Not yet. Not yet.

I will have to wait then.  Would like this in SBR for my wife.

Same here, may go mp5 route instead

Why not both?

Think I'm worse ,  ar9, mp5, evo, and working a deal on a r stretch and ump lol

Wow, didnt know they were out yet!

And at under $1k I might get one!
