CZ TS2

[George16]

Its like my S2 had sex with my TSO and spit out the green TS2...

That’s funny.

BTW, I replied to your post in the DWX thread. Order this one. It’ll probably be available before the DWX  .

Honestly, the only thing I like about these is the variety of thumb rests.

This is CZ’s vain attempt to make up for the DWX  .

Anyway, like I said in another forum, it’s looks like a shadow 2 slide and a Czechmate/old ts frame. They could have at least used the new TSO frame with the updated shadow 2 style mag release pad and aluminum trigger.

This looks identical to the current TSO frame.

Yup. I forgot to put that in the same line with the Czechmate.

Looking at the photos and the website there appears to be a few differences in the frame. Most notable, is the change in trigger guard which should be cool for competition shooters. After that, the website is showing that this comes with a longer barrel than the TSO which should put a little more weight at the front with the added length in barrel, slide and frame. The contour of the grips looks slightly different too. Looks more like the Shadow 2 than the TS/TSO.

The TSO already has the S2 grip angle/contour. 

At first look I would have assumed the barrel was shorter not longer but your right the barrel is 4mm longer.   

I'm not sure if the changes warrant upgrading.  My TSO's have the more open trigger guard already (original design).  If I wanted to change out my gas pedal, those are available already.  I assume these will take the Checkmate/TS magazines as the capacity is the same so no benefit there.

It looks very similar to the S2 and I think they are trying to build off of the S2 platform success and promote their large frame variants.  Depending on the price point it should be successful for new customers.

Cheers,

Newer TSOs have a different frame that is just like what this gun has.

The changes are subtle but there. I was able to find this on the CZ factory's blog post. Not trying to argue of course, just looking to share information on this as it seems like there isn't a ton out there yet.

"The pistol comes with a new frame, which is produced with modern CNC machines. The new manufacturing technologies used for the second generation CZ TS 2 allow for precise tolerances down to a hundredth of a millimeter for a much tighter parts fit that results in both increased shooting accuracy and an extended service life.

When creating the new frame, CZ designers collaborated with shooters to design a frame with advanced geometry that may not seem different upon visual inspection, but is instantly appreciated when in hand." https://www.czforthosewhoknow.com/blog/2020/11/16/cz-ts-2-a-new-advanced-sports-special-for-the-ipsc-standard-division/

"The front and back straps have new, more prominent checkering..." https://www.czforthosewhoknow.com/blog/2020/11/16/cz-ts-2-a-new-advanced-sports-special-for-the-ipsc-standard-division/

You're right I just got the images to upload on my phone on the CZUB site and looked again and the checkering looks the same as the newest TSO but the triggerguard is changed yet again, this time to match the S2.

The mag release is immaterial since they're offering both types and the TSO has used both types.  I'm wondering if the magwells will be blended now, if these are using the plastic or aluminum trigger, and if it will be over a year until they hit the US.

The S2 OR sure was available there long before we got it.

It looks like they have the polymer trigger

Would be interesting how the TS2 slide fits the Shadow 2 frame, for a  longslide build similar to CTS. I might be wrong most likely, but it seems CZ may have kept similar slide and frame profiles at the dust cover.

pricing in Austria. Webshop says it will available in 51st week of 2020.

Beautiful guns but I am curious whether the juice is worth the squeeze in terms of upgrading from a TSO
