I've got my head set on either the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 or Ruger PC Charger. I'm going to have my LGS track one of these guns down for me but I'm totally undecided on which one to go with and I need some input from everyone. I'm not looking into a third option as i've ruled out a few already.

I currently own the PC Carbine which I absolutely love but do I really want the same gun just smaller? 🤔
 
Familiarity is a plus, this would make you more proficient not to mention magazine sharing. I think I would go for the charger. The Evo is cool, but cool only gets you so far. If the charger fulfills the same purpose with less to get accustomed to and expense thats what I would go with.

Another thing to consider is if you plan to suppress. The charger makes a great option with its quick take down/assembly, but you can always get QD mount for a can too.

I would go with the charger. But be sure you dont swap barrels from the charger to the carbine. It can go from carbine to charger, but not charger to carbine without being SBRed.
 
Both my Scorpions (Micro and 7+" bbl), are a dream to shoot and are great fun. 🥳 Unfortunately for you, I will not give them to you 😭. But seriously, I don't own any Ruger PCC type firearms, but my other Rugers that I do own, are of excellent quality.
Since you already own their PC Carbine, If I was in that position, I would opt for the other manufacturer (in your case CZ). In my current state, I would opt for the Ruger (over the CZ carbine), to get another manufacture into my fold (and get my hands on that PC Charger before you, so I don't have that APX Carry lost opportunity moment again 😡).

My PC Carbine is the rifle stock model and the Charger is the chassis model which opens up a few more options also.

Getting the PC Charger before you may add some weight to my decision. 🤔
 
I’ve eyed the PC Charger myself. The reviews thus far look really good. I can’t leave well enough alone. I am always upgrading, so for CZ, which makes excellent firearms btw, the cost, from my experience and research is more than what would be for Ruger. Either one would be a good choice and serve you well. As @Classified mentioned, parts interchangeability would be a plus for me. As @BET7 said I also do like different platforms from different manufactures. Decisions, decisions.
 
I settled on this myself......

The CZ street price is roughly $200 more then the Ruger but the CZ has sights and 2 mags and the Charger has no sights and 1 mag. I do have a few Glock 33 round happy sticks on hand though to feed through the charger.
 
OK 10, here's some research material I've done for you. Try to read it before you 😴 ehr, lose your attention span. 🍻🍺🥴
I found these on GunMagWarehouse:

The Ruger PC Charger - PC Carbine Redefined - The Mag Life

The Ruger PC Charger is the latest from Ruger; it's a pistol variant of their famed PC Carbine. The PC Charger is an awesome package. Here's why.

Since the above review mentions it costs about the same as the Stribog, I included that video review (about 22 minutes) as well:

Best Value 9mm PCC? Grand Power Stribog - The Mag Life

Looking for the best value 9mm PCC? Check out what Garand Thumb says about the Stribog: about a third of the price of a B&T APC9, but not a cheap knockoff.
gunmagwarehouse.com gunmagwarehouse.com

And the closest review on Gun MagWarehouse to the CZ Micro, was comparing it to a Glock 17 (the Micro has the shortest barrel of the 3 coming in at 4+". The Micro also comes with a Brace, sights, and I believe I got 2 mags with it. I'm not certain if the Ruger comes with a Brace, the Stribog doesn't it appears.

SMG Wannabes Vs Pistols - 9mm Faceoff - The Mag Life

"What's the point?" That's the main question we see whenever we see micro SMG Wannabes come to exist. So I took out a Glock and Micro Scorpion to find out.

The decision would be much easier for you if it was a CZ 10mm Scorpion!😂
However CZ Scorpion is my vote.
