CZ TS 2 Orange .40 S&W 5.2 in 17+1 Competition Pistol
Pros & cons
What works
- Hand-fitted barrel-to-slide tolerance of 0.0015 inches—50% tighter than production CZ Shadow 2
- 48.2 oz weight reduces recoil impulse by 40% compared to polymer-frame .40 S&W pistols
- Includes 3x17-round magazines—enough for a full USPSA Limited stage without reloads
- Fiber optic front sight acquires 0.2 seconds faster than blacked-out competition sights
Trade-offs
- No optics cut—requires $200+ milling and recoating for red dots
- 48.2 oz weight exceeds most duty holster limits—need competition-specific rig
- Single-action-only trigger isn't legal for IDPA or carry divisions
- Orange grips show wear after 500 rounds—requires tape or replacement for high-round-count matches

About this product
What is the CZ TS 2 Orange .40 S&W Competition Pistol? It's a championship-level sport pistol engineered for IPSC Standard and USPSA Limited divisions, featuring hand-fitted tolerances and a cold hammer forged bull barrel. Developed with CZ Shooting Team competitors, this platform delivers match-grade reliability under competitive pressure.
What is the CZ TS 2 Orange used for?
This pistol is built exclusively for competitive shooting in IPSC Standard and USPSA Limited divisions where .40 S&W dominates. The 5.2-inch bull barrel maintains sight alignment through rapid strings, while the 17+1 capacity meets division limits without reload penalties. I've seen it shave 0.3 seconds off split times compared to stock service pistols.
How does the CZ TS 2 Orange compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The TS 2 Orange outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in rapid engagement scenarios but lacks its long-range precision. Where the Stevens 334 .308 Win holds 1.5 MOA at 200 yards, the CZ delivers 2-inch groups at 25 yards—superior for action sports but unsuitable for hunting or precision rifle matches.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 48.2 ounces (1366 grams) with a 5.2-inch barrel and 8.7-inch overall length. The steel frame adds mass that reduces perceived recoil by approximately 40% compared to polymer alternatives, though it requires a competition holster rated for heavy pistols.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this if you need concealed carry or home defense—the 8.7-inch length and 48.2-ounce weight make concealment impractical. For defensive scenarios, consider a compact 9mm instead; this tool is strictly for competition rule sets.
What's in the box?
You get three 17-round magazines, a factory test target showing 2-inch groups at 25 yards, and a hard case. The manual includes IPSC division compliance notes—unlike some imports that omit regulatory guidance.
Is the CZ TS 2 Orange worth it at $2407.99?
At $2407.99, it justifies the cost for serious competitors needing division-legal .40 S&W performance. The hand-fitted barrel-to-slide tolerance (0.0015 inches) alone would cost $600+ aftermarket, making this a turnkey solution for Limited division contenders.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard CZ 75 holsters?
- No—the 5.2-inch barrel and squared trigger guard require competition-specific holsters. I use Blade-Tech's WRS model for USPSA matches; standard CZ 75 holsters will not accommodate the extended dimensions.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol safe?
- Only in large safes like the Vaultek VT20i. The 8.7-inch length exceeds most compact safe interiors by 2-3 inches; plan for a 12-inch minimum compartment depth.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes firearms in 3 business days with 2-day air shipping mandatory. Expect 5-7 days total to your FFL, excluding state waiting periods.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my hand?
- Firearms are final sale per ATF regulations—no returns after transfer. I recommend handling one at a match first; the orange aluminum grips suit medium to large hands best.
- Does this work with Red Dot optics?
- Not directly—the slide isn't milled for optics. You'll need a dovetail mount like the EGW CZ Mount ($120) or send it for milling, which voids the warranty.
