I had a Scorpion and sold it. One of the most accurate pistols I've ever owned. But while 97% of my shooting is rimfire pistol shooting, the Scorpion just doesn't really working out for me. Great pistol, but it was expensive and I kind of didn't like the idea of banging it around the woods, and after trying it at a couple rimfire steel matches I still preferred my CZ Kadets for that.
About a year ago I saw a Black Mamba in person and I was really tempted to order one. But I've since got away from that idea. Still, wouldn't be surprised if I circle back to it someday. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Scorpion, based on the 22/45 design. I concur. But you cannot go wrong with anything in the Volquartsen produce line. I have had bot Clark and Volquartsen Ruger 22 conversions, they are both great, but the triggers on the Volquartsen's are slightly better. |

Funny you say that I ended up finding out about the CZ Kadet kit for the Shadow 2 so I bought one and going to try that. I figured I already had a pretty good frame/trigger, why not try the conversion kit and save about 800 bucks |

Thinking about getting one of their uppers for my Mk IV
LLV-4, 6", Target Sights, Black EDIT - Got one in today. Runs perfectly. Good accuracy right out of the box (for me anyway) at 25 yards with a RDS and CCI Standards ammo I carry the standard upper for my daily woods carry gun. Going to use the Volq for plinking at the range.  Attached File Attached File |

I got a 6” scorpion 1911 style , will probably sell it or try to trade it for a 4” mamba ( fingers crossed ) & offer extras & extra magazines on my end to make the trade happen.
For me i think it was that it wasn’t a 4” & the breakdown of it being the mk3 platform. |

Just bought a 4.5" Black Mamba today. I'd wanted one earlier this year, but they're a little hard to find. Wanted to see and hold a 4.5" model in person before buying. Only one nearby Volquartsen dealer; they had a 6" in there once when I checked but not 4.5", and they tend to be a little pricey. Ended up forgetting about it. Today I was at a Cabelas out of state. Never thought I'd buy a pistol there, but spotted the exact Black Mamba I was interested in and for a decent price. Since it was out of state, I won't have it for a few days at least. They're shipping it to a local dealer.

The black mamba is awesome but I’m loving the mkiii scorpions and having a million mags already pushed me that direction. You can’t go wrong with a volquartsen pistol!

Quoted: With 9mm being scarce I plan to shoot 22 for a bit. I have a G44 for a trainer to my G19 but kind of have an itch for a nicer target pistol. I've owned a Ruger Mk3 hunter before with the wood target grips and fluted bull barrel but didn't love it. It felt like I was shooting a BB gun and just not a lot of fun believe it or not. I was looking at the Volquartsen Scorpion, Mamba, Black Mamba, they all seem to use similar uppers but just have different lowers/grips? I believe one is based on the 22/45 or 1911 grip angle, one on the traditional Ruger MK series and one is their own design? Any input on the pros/cons of their main models? you will have an awesome 22lr plinker in the volquartsen , which ever you decide. I love my scorpion but I want a shorter 4" mk4 mamba more....... good luck , Pep |
