The 3 Best Suppressors for the CZ Scorpion EVO
The CZ Scorpion is a slick unit, but its submachine gun status meant that it was considered "unobtainium" to most for quite a while because of heavy-handed government restrictions. Thankfully, CZ heard our prayers and designed a Scorpion for the rest of us. Now there's a version that is imported as a semi-auto 9mm blowback pistol with a short 7¾” barrel, which means that everyone is free to enjoy it.
People love this gun because of its versatility. The Scorpion has ambidextrous controls, the charging handle is swappable to left or right, and the reach to the trigger is adjustable. Plus, there are a ton of customization options available with a number of braces, grips, forends, magazines, safeties, mag releases, charging handles, and triggers designed specifically for the EVO platform. Oh, and let's not forget that people love it for its looks, too. This thing just screams "operator" and "tacti-cool" to many people.
The Scorpion pistols feature 1/2x28 threads hidden underneath the factory-installed flash hider, which is really good news because it means that users can easily swap out the flash hider for their favorite pistol caliber suppressor, most of which utilize (you guessed it) 1/2x28 threads.
Simply put, this thing is sweet, and the only thing sweeter is running one suppressed. Since the Scorpion EVO is chambered in 9mm, which is probably the most popular pistol cartridge of all time, buying a suppressor for it will also give you a suppressor for the other guns that you no doubt own that are also chambered in 9mm. Basically, it's a win-win here, and as an added bonus, all of the suppressors we're going to talk about are capable of handling other calibers besides 9mm, so it's a win-win-win!
So, without further ado, let's take a look at our top three picks for suppressors for the CZ Scorpion EVO.

Dead Air Wolfman
The Wolfman is the next generation in suppression. Like its Wolf-9SD predecessor, the Wolfman from Dead Air is a modular, multi-caliber suppressor that specializes in sub-gun, light-duty rifle, and pistol use, which means it'll be right at home on your Scorpion EVO.
Because of its modularity, the Wolfman provides ultimate sound suppression in its full-length configuration while still providing exceptional performance when set up in the short configuration. As an added bonus, the front cap can contain a user-provided rubber wipe that can drop sound suppression levels even further.

The Wolfman is designed for maximum muzzle suppression while also maximizing at-ear performance for the shooter by utilizing a large internal volume and generous blast chamber.
The Wolfman ships with a 1/2x28 direct thread mount and features a wipe-compatible front cap (tool included). Wipes are user-replaceable with commonly available rubber washer sizes.

Banish 45
The BANISH 45 is a modular silencer specifically designed for handguns and pistol caliber carbines in calibers ranging from .45 ACP down to rimfire. Testing shows the BANISH 45 suppresses a 9mm pistol by 36 decibels – far more sound reduction than the competition.
Made of titanium for the ultimate combination of durability and weight reduction, the BANISH 45 is the lightest in its class at a mere 9.6oz in the short configuration of 6.7”, which will help keep the overall footprint of your Scorpion EVO as small as possible. You can also run it in the long configuration of 8.6” and still barely notice it’s on your gun because it weighs only 11 oz.
Because of the BANISH 45’s modular design, you can run it with eight or 12 baffles, depending on your specific needs. Ideal for 3-gun or target shooting, the BANISH 45 will help protect the hearing of the shooter and others in a shooting competition and reduce recoil for quicker second shot target acquisition.
User-serviceable from both ends, this suppressor can be easily and quickly disassembled for configuration changes and cleaning. Since it’s made of titanium, you can easily clean the baffles in a tumbler, ultrasonic cleaner, or by hand with a brush and your favorite solvent. Reassembly is just as easy, thanks to the keyed and indexed baffles. This guarantees that each one will be lined up perfectly for optimum performance.
The unique design of the BANISH 45 makes it the one suppressor to fit any pistol caliber gun. Simply swap out the pistons (sold separately) and you can attach this suppressor to any multitude of pistols or pistol caliber carbines in your collection. Silencers are a significant investment, so it’s a huge plus to be able to use one can on multiple different firearms.
