They really do. I have three; two 527 carbines, and a 75B 9mm pistol. I love the carbines, but I have to remember to put a bandaid on the web of my strong hand so the tang does rub it raw. If I do that, it is a lot more fun to shoot it.Awesome. CZ sure does make some sweet guns. I have debated getting a pistol for years. I love my scorpion rifle.
