The Volquartsen Mini Scorpion X is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 LR with a 3-inch barrel. It combines a lightweight VF Target Frame with a Scorpion LLV competition-style upper, built around target sights and a threaded muzzle for suppressor use. The pistol feeds from a 10+1 capacity magazine and wears black Hogue rubber grips over a black hard anodized finish.

The Mini Scorpion X draws a crowd of rimfire competition and target shooters who already know the Volquartsen name from their tuned .22 conversions and uppers. Reliability comments center on how consistently the pistol cycles once it is fed ammunition it likes, since .22 LR semi-autos in general are sensitive to ammo choice, and most owners land on a brand that runs clean through the gun. The lightweight VF Target Frame gets noted for keeping the pistol easy to manage.

In the hand, the target sights and Picatinny rail make it easy for owners to run either irons or a red dot, and the threaded barrel is a common reason people pick this model over a non-threaded .22 pistol. The Hogue rubber grips are generally liked for a secure hold during a long range session, though a couple of owners mention wanting a different grip texture for their hand size.

On value, the Mini Scorpion X sits at a premium price point next to mass-market .22 LR pistols, and owners weigh that against the fit, finish, and reputation Volquartsen has for accuracy. Aftermarket support from Volquartsen itself for parts and tuning is seen as a plus by people who plan to keep the pistol long term.
