CZ TS 2 & CZ TS 2 Orange, CZ-USA’s Tactical Sport Pistols Side-By-Side

Tight manufacturing tolerances, supreme accuracy, and enhanced ergonomics define the CZ TS 2 series of tactical sport pistols. These pistols are loaded with high-performance features, making all TS 2 and TS 2 Orange models solid choices for practical shooting disciplines like IPSC, USPSA, 3-Gun, and Steel Challenge. However, choosing between these proven pistols can be difficult, so here is a side-by-side comparison to help inform buying decisions. 

CZ TS 2 and TS 2 Orange are steel-framed single-action-only pistols sharing many competition-ready design features. And both versions are available in 9mm or .40 S&W. 

Functional and aesthetic updates to the TS 2 line include a flared aluminum magwell for faster reloads and colored aluminum grips with deep checkering for a splash of color and, more importantly, improved hold. A deeper undercut on the beavertail moves the hand closer to the bore axis, and along with a lower profile slide, shooters experience less muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots.

The focus on performance is evident throughout the design. A 5.2-inch barrel improves ballistics while giving it a longer sight radius for improved accuracy. Front and rear cocking serrations on the slide make racking these pistols easy. A crisp single-action trigger provides a consistent trigger break, and a competition hammer reduces lock time. 

The base model TS 2 has a fiber-optic front sight and fixed rear sight built to withstand rough competition use. In contrast, the Orange features an adjustable rear sight for quick POI adjustments.

CZ reserves the color orange for its customized high-performance sport pistols. So true to its color, the TS 2 Orange includes the match features of the base model TS 2 plus custom upgrades for improved performance. The most notable “Orange” enhancement is its “bull” barrel offering several advantages, including enhanced accuracy, recoil control, and longer service life. 

Orange models also include extra cocking serrations on the top front edge of the slide for easy cocking. Like the CZ Shadow 2, the TS 2 ORANGE has a screw attachment system for the front sight for quick sight removal. A hand-fit barrel, slide, and frame ensure the tightest tolerances while maintaining reliability. 

The CZ TS 2 Orange uses a modified thumb rest and higher-positioned ambidextrous manual safeties. CZ shortened the height of the magazine release button, improving grip comfort while maintaining lightning-fast reloading speeds.

The base model TS 2 is the perfect pistol for recreational shooting and newer shooters serious about competing. The CZ TS 2 Orange is an advanced competition pistol taking performance to the next level—a winning choice for high-performance shooters. It was optimized for IPSC standard division and USPSA limited division competitions and is also a worthy pistol in other shooting disciplines.
