Overview

The CZ TS 3 Orange is the flagship of CZ's new TS 3 competition series, a hand-fitted, steel-framed, single-action-only 9x19mm pistol built specifically for IPSC Optics and USPSA Limited Optics divisions. Where the TS 2 Orange it succeeds had no factory optic cut, the TS 3 machines a direct-mount interface into the slide that accepts Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and Holosun-K footprint sights without adapter plates. Direct mounting drops weight, removes a failure point, and seats the dot lower and closer to the bore axis for faster acquisition on transitions.

The frame is machined from a single solid piece of steel, with deeper undercuts beneath the trigger guard and beavertail that let the shooter seat the hand higher for reduced muzzle rise. The magwell is wider and longer with a flared transition, the magazine release is adjustable to five positions, and G10 composite grips replace the previous aluminum panels. The redesigned thumb rest and manual safety share a 25-degree angle for natural support-hand placement, and left-handed shooters can add a right-side thumb rest with the mirrored safety.

The single-action-only trigger runs adjustable take-up and overtravel and breaks at approximately 1.3 lbs (6 N) with a very short, positive reset. Every TS 3 Orange is hand-fitted by an experienced gunsmith, and the polished cold hammer forged bull barrel with improved muzzle crown carries a lifetime warranty. The slide wears CZ's BoBox nitride finish, capacity is 20+1, and a fiber optic front sight with a fully adjustable rear ships for iron-sight or co-witness use. CZ has not announced a US MSRP; US availability is slated for later in 2026.
