There is apparently a CAD for CZ Scorpion in .45, but alas, it's vaporware. I'd buy the shit out of it (x2, actually, like I did the EVO3), if they brought it to market, though.

I've sent many an email to CZ asking for a .45 Scorpion and an SP-01-ified 97B. In fact, I'm going to go send another one to them right now.
But a .45 Scorpion is basically exactly what I want. The .45 PCC market is a pile of suck these days.
Auto Ordnance M1/1927 clones - Heavy as a full size .30-06 rifle, have to rework mag catch to use surplus mags. May or may not have QC issues.
Kriss Vector - So many generations with incompatible parts. Glock mag compatibility is good, but larger capacity options are limited. Goofy ergos.
AR variants - Stratified market like .308 ARs is a turn off, too many boutique builders. Familiar ergos at least.
AR look-a-likes - Uglier than a bag of smashed arseholes. I like bullpups, so I don't have room to talk, but at least make it not look like a CDNN closeout parts bucket special.
Hi-Point - Long-term quality/durability may be in question, bad ergos, ugly as sin, no normal capacity mags. Seems reliable and extremely affordable though.
MAC-10 clones - Heavy, inaccurate, ergos are rough, quality between manufacturers is uneven.
BT APC45 - What Ivan Chesnokov said of the Fiveseven applies equally to the APC45
BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON OF MAN WHO WEARS EXPENSIVE ITALIAN FASCIST SUIT OF HAND SEWING, DRIVE HUGE EXPENSIVE NAZI MERCEDES OF A.M.G. SHOP, SAIL ON MASSIVE YACHT TO GREEK ISLANDS. I THINK YOU GET PICTURE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON THAT SAYS IS NO SUCH THING AS CONCERN OF MONEY.
Is that everything? I think there's a market opening for something in the $800 to $1300 range for a modernized .45 pistol cal carbine. Gas op, blow back, bullpup, conventional with a folding stock, whatever -- just a modern design without the compromises everything else offers.
This may be a reflection of the Mil/LE markets not wanting anything like this, so there's no parallel development in the commercial markets.
