Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key advantages of the KEArms Sear Link Technology (SLT) trigger for the CZ Scorpion?

The SLT trigger offers a significantly shorter reset and a lighter 5 lb pull weight compared to the factory CZ Scorpion trigger's long reset and 8+ lb pull. Its design also enhances durability in blowback PCCs and provides a more sealed fire control unit, making it less susceptible to debris.

How does the KEArms SLT trigger differ from traditional firearm triggers?

Unlike traditional triggers that use a disconnector, the SLT trigger features a main sear in constant contact with the hammer. The hammer is violently driven through as the bolt cycles rearward, ensuring it's always ready to be caught by the sear.

What were the performance results of the KEArms SLT trigger in competition?

The prototype KEArms SLT trigger performed reliably in the CQB Brutality 2024 match, firing approximately 600 rounds without malfunctions. The trigger showed no excessive wear or debris buildup, contributing to a division win and an overall second-place finish.

What modifications were made to the CZ Scorpion EVO 3 used in the competition?

The CZ Scorpion EVO 3 featured a 7.7-inch barrel, Midwest Industries handguard, Reptilia Zukov stock adapter, Magpul grip and mag release, and a Magpul vertical grip. A Lead and Steel Pandora Red Dot was mounted via an Acro P-2 adapter.
