The CZ TS2 Orange features significant upgrades including an adjustable rear sight, front slide serrations for better grip, a redesigned front sight, a 40% heavier bull barrel for improved accuracy and recoil mitigation, higher-set manual safeties, a new thumb rest, and an aluminum trigger with orange anodized accessories.

What makes the CZ Custom A01 SD OR suitable for competition?

The CZ Custom A01 SD OR is custom-built in Arizona with a hand-fit bull barrel, competition hammer, refined internals, and is optics-ready. Its DA/SA action and compatibility with CZ 75 magazines, offering a 'magwell effect', make it versatile for divisions like USPSA Production.

How does the Shadow 2 Optic Ready facilitate optic mounting?

The Shadow 2 Optic Ready eliminates rear cocking serrations, creating a wider, flat shelf for direct optic mounting. This design prevents optic footprint overhang and ensures a cleaner aesthetic and more secure fit for red dot sights.

Why is the .40 S&W caliber offered in the CZ TS2 Orange for USPSA?

The .40 S&W caliber is specifically included for USPSA's Limited Division because it allows shooters to achieve a 'major power factor'. This scoring advantage is highly sought after by top competitors for its potential to increase points per hit.
