The Volquartsen Scorpion LLV is a semi-automatic .22 LR pistol built around the Ruger Mark platform, specifically configured for competitive use. The LLV upper mounts a 6-inch stainless steel barrel with a compensator and fully adjustable rear sight paired with a fiber optic front sight. The match-grade trigger gives a clean, consistent pull that matters in timed events.

Detailed Features
The 6-inch barrel length helps with velocity and sight radius, both useful for target shooting. The fiber optic front sight picks up quickly in mixed lighting, and the fully adjustable rear lets you dial in your zero rather than working around a fixed sight.
At 2.3 pounds the pistol is light enough to hold steady through long match stages. The compensator takes some of the already-mild .22 LR muzzle flip down further, which helps with split times on follow-up shots.
Usage
The Scorpion LLV suits USPSA rimfire divisions and similar precision pistol formats. The match trigger and adjustable sights are overkill for casual plinking but that is the point. It is a competition-focused build, not a general-purpose .22. New shooters will find the low recoil easy to manage, though the price reflects Volquartsen's competition-grade components rather than entry-level value.
