I just picked up two new pistols yesterday... my CZ TS2 Orange & the Canik / TT Colab pistol. (Quick shout out to MAD DOG Armory - Tampa for finding both pistols). I went out yesterday and ran about 200 rounds in the CZ and it was an amazing. I ran off 50 rounds on the Canik and i put it back in the case... I couldn't hit the side of a barn with that thing. I love the video you have put together here and all of the info is very helpful. I feel like the CZ really complimented my Sig Sauer P226. I like the weight and the overall balance of the pisol. thanks again and keep the vids. coming!!
Sunday was indeed a good day for you, Acrobat ! Yes indeed, now 1050 rounds (3 sessions) into my TS2 Orange - and absolutely loving it & synching with it very quickly (happy to hear sounds like the same for you). Getting it back from my local gunsmith tomorrow - he's replacing the thumb safety with the wider-shelved one from the TS2 Bronze in Europe. And I now have the Ghost holster all set up and ready for it, too. So I should be truly good-to-go this coming Sunday for another 350-400 rd session. What SIg P226 do you have. I've been curious (never shot it) about their Limited division X-Five Stas version with the black grips. If that's the one you have, please let me know how it compares (positives & negatives) to the TS2 Orange (whenever you get around to doing a serious comparative). Have long heard mixed-things about the Taran Tactical shooters - from great to hate. But the 1911 Syndicate's absolute panning of it video on YT has made me sure to not pursue such a pricey purchase. Too many universally-applauded offerings out there to pick from instead, if / when spending such money. I do believe there is a "law of diminishing returns" in the world of pistols. I don't post to often (have full time profession) - but trying to do so more often. THANK YOU for subscribing !
Hi TZ & thank you for commenting. Yes - if you know the CZ platform & are a fan of their higher-end / competition-level offerings, I believe you will be extremely & ecstatically pleased if you move ahead and by the TS2 Orange. I'm now at 1050 rounds and have only increasingly enjoyed her with each session. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions pre-purchase. And be sure to follow-up with how you like her post-purchase. Cheers !
I am with you 1000%. Although not a competitive shooter, I shoot Precision Accurate at 25 and 50 yards "slow fire" standing unsupported, with 5 round groups ranging from 1.5"-3" respectivly. So I wanted to purchase the most "Precision Accurate" pistol I could afford, with my goal to reduce my group sizes down from 1-2.5". I like to consider myself a "Pistol Sniper". With this pistol and its phenomenal trigger I feel I can accomplish my goal. Just as you have, I only recently found one CZ TS 2 Orange 9mm by accident two days ago, I gave up looking months ago and this one just popped up so I took the plunge. What I like about the pistol is its Trigger, ( which is aluminum) its Ergonomics, Balance, Bull barrel, Iron adjustable sights, easily removable front side via set screw, and its LOOKS! Looking forward to more videos of this model from your channel.
Thanks for writing, PrecisionMarksman. First, let me complement you on your tight groups in Precision Accurate. Never heard of that as a competition - but what matters is your shooting & dedication to it & obvious efforts on improving. I have a close buddy who regularly shoots the informal 'Bullseye' competitions at the outdoor range / club we belong to (small targets w/ pistols at 75') - so I know how much he loves that & works at it & enjoys the friendly competition with his precision friends. And the always-superb accuracy of CZ pistols - especially the new TS2O with its 5.2" bull barrel & feather trigger - would certainly make that a great selection for your future matches. Bought yours just 2 days ago - Have you shot it ? Did you do precision work with it today (Sunday) after getting it Friday ? Results ? I had my second outing today with her & another 350 rounds - all on steel at 45' - and found I was really synching with it very quickly & easily - and enjoying the hell out of it ! Going thru ammo at a truly alarming rate ! Will definitely be doing some Action Steel competitions in Limited division with it as soon as the broiling FL summer is over. All my pistols, as you can see in my videos, are either for Carry/Car/Home defense ... or shooting Action Steel. Shot today with my TS2O just about as well as I ever have, and after only 2 sessions with her. She's right up there with, maybe just a millimeter below, my Bul Radical R - so that pretty much says it all ! All my best to you & thanks again for commenting. ENJOY your TS2O ! I am certain you will !
I hate to say it, as I am one of the biggest Bul Armory fans in the world. I feel very strongly that (along with CZ's competition pistols) Bul Armory gives you just about the best 'value-for-quality-for-money' equation of all premium handguns. But I sold my TS2 Racing Green after 5k rounds to 'upgrade' to the Bul Air. I owned the Bul Tac 4.25' and shot it just about as well as a competition pistol. And I shoot my Bul Radicals better than anything non-compensated I've ever shot (aside from an $8k Infinity). So I thought (for $600 extra after selling my TS2 Green - which I loved & shot beautifully) I would 'upgrade' to the Bul Air. While I do think the Buls are slightly higher-quality than CZs - a little better fit & finish & quality control - I just couldn't shoot that Air at all. Despite the tons of crazy rave reviews on it - it certainly didn't work for me. So I sold that for a $300 loss - but bought the TS2 Orange (with its big upgrades over the Green) for another $380 less than what I pocketed upon the Air sale. So, I came out (despite 2-3 months of frustration / anguish) pretty much break-even - and I am (now 1050 rounds in) LOVING the Orange. I think it's spectacular (especially for less than $2k all-in) - and am shooting it very well (for me). By the way, the good friend who bought my Air is absolutely loving it - and told me that he feels it's his now 2nd best shooter (and he has a very nice collection) behind his Staccatto XL (very similar pistol, but heavier). Just goes to show you how individual it is ! As you can see from my videos, I am 100% hammer-fired, metal pistols. That said, I follow everything I can get my hands on pistol-wise - and you mentioned 1 of the 2 polymer-based shooters that seriously interests me. One is the RIA 5.0E, and the other is the Grand Power X-Caliber. I really would love to shoot the rotating-barrel mechanism. While mostly raves about it & talk about how flat it shoots with minimum recoil / muzzle rise ... it doesn't actually look that way to me (visibly only) in the many videos I've seen on it. That said, I believe that their words are genuine - and that is what they're really feeling / seeing from the front sight. Do you own one ? Have you shot one ? Or just very interested ? Thanks for commenting !

The TS 2 will be my next pistol purchase. Thank you for the great video.

What gun did you give up on, the one that was too light? Any experience with the GP X-Calibur?
