I recently took my father and little brother to IMO the nicest shooting facility in our area to get them at least comfortable with the basic fundamentals of handgun safety, marksmanship, and physics and trusted the rentals at the range as opposed to bringing my own guns this time. They were almost complete beginners. Long story short out of 3 handguns I rented, one was the CZ Shadow 2. They thought they were naturals haha. I was trying to tell them it was just the pistol but they didn't understand lmao. They both were banging solid tight groupings at 15 yards out. With the .45 and 5.7 they were nowhere near as solid.
The TSO is the best gun that I have. The size of the gun is perfect, no issues with the size. This gun has made me a believer in single action only handguns with light trigger pulls. I have not purchase a DA/SA handgun since purchasing this gun. This gun is well underpriced for what you get and the fun you have at the range. I am not a competitive shooter and highly recommend this handgun to anyone.
Thanks for the shout out KS. I have a CZ TS2 Racing Green on order. Should be here in a few days. Fantastic review buddy, as always. Sure do enjoy them.
Love me some CZ's. Wow that trigger has a short pull and light and I can see why it took some time getting use to. My Shadow 2 is 3 pounds and I like it a lot. TSO is very nice but staying with my Shadow 2 for now. Good review KS.
It’s tough to beat the Shadow 2 and it’s definitely a favorite in the collection Randy. Frankly, it’s every bit as good as the TSO. Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I’ve owned a TSO in .40 for 2.5 years now... all I can say is wow, what a firearm. A friend is a gunsmith, he fit a 9mm barrel (mill 2 spots for breach lockup) and now I can shoot both 9mm & .40 (change magazine also) with practice shoot consistent with either. You do have to get use to the trigger, it is extremely light and smooth, there is no wall, it just breaks. Love all my CZ’s, but this is my favorite
ddryden2 ok. Thank you very much. Could you send me a few photos of what was done to your TSO? If its ok with you. earthshaker_ssi@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Great video. That is a crisp looking handgun. You can actually see the craftsmanship on camera. I don’t shoot competitions but that would never stop me from getting one.
I don't shoot comp and never plan on it..... but still buy these for there craftsmanship and reliability...... and also have love for a steel frame weapon......I only own one polymer weapon.... glock 17...... not a glock fan....but got it for a great deal......and it's definitely a great carry weapon
Wish they had a fully click adjustable rear sight instead of click adj for elev and drift adj for windage. And, a 10 rd mag SKU for those of us in the people’s republic of ny.
I put Lok grips on my CZ Shadow 2. Black with orange edge works great with the urban gray and black Shadow 2. Lok grips are terrific...good looking and super grippy.
Great review. Thorough, informative and interesting. THANKS ! Love the "KSGG" grips. The TSO is a great looking pistol, and I think it looks even better with those "Lokgrips"
I thought the TSO had always included the orange paddle mag release. That's one of the few things I dislike about my TS2, that it doesn't have the paddle mag release and it doesn't have the frame mounted thumb rest. I just got a used Czechmate, though.
One major factor that got me into investing the TSO is that it still heavily resembles the original/classic CZ75 design. I've always wanted the SP-01 Shadow and 75B as collection but figured "why not invest in the culmination/evolution of both designs?"
Great review. Im picking this one up. I love the orange grips but after seeing the black on yours, damn, I think I like the black look even more. Gonna check out lokgrips.
That trigger...wow. I'm a sig guy and like the X5 Legion (sending to sig armorer for competition job action work) but wow. What a beautiful and outstanding gun.
Man if I was gonna do any sort of competition shooting this fine piece of Czech steel would DEFINITELY be in the top 3! Thanks for another great and thorough review. CZ’s always make for awesome videos 👍🏽
Thanks for the recommendation. I’d love to get s Shadow 2, after my P01 and P07 of course, but if I can get ahold of a TSO I will definitely take your advice!! 😁
Super review! I tell ya what a good comparison would be the CZ TSO and the Canik TP9SFX . Expensive versus affordable. They have a few things in common!!
Every time I think I’ve figured out what I’m buying next, I get distracted whenever you release a new review. I guess guess good things come to those who wait?
CZ-75 pistols truly are masterpieces of engineering and manufacturing- but it makes me wonder with the higher end models if CZ hires artists to paint what new pistols should look like… they are kind of like mechanical art pieces in my mind.
I got a CZ Shadow 2 about 3 month ago, can't put in words how good it is, you can't miss at 7 to 10 yards, is that good. The grip is a bit narrow for my big hands, its very heavy, but it is a delight to shoot, it is true, once you experience this, it is hard to go back to other guns.
Great review. I shoot a Tactical Sport (TS) Czechmate for fun with Scale Grips which are more aggressive than those supplied with the gun. I measure the trigger at 1 lb. Another favorite pistol is the CZ SP01 Shadow Target II from CZ Custom - another work of art. I greatly appreciate your thoughtful reviews, Thanks
Thank you very much! I’d love to shoot a Czechmate at some point. I hear they are amazing. I agree about the CZ Custom SP-01. I have the Shadow Orange and love it. Cheers!
Top of the Mountain CZ shooter.... ah the Czechmate. Tell us what it is like. I have never seen one in person much less shot one. I own merely a lowly TS and an S2. :-)
It is heavier than the S1 and S2 and after shooting 50 rounds my arms hurt since I am 77 yo. Very little recoil and very hard to clean. The trigger as measured by my Lyman gauge is under 1 lb and there is almost no takeup and the reset is almost not present. I am still not comfortable with the trigger. I shoot my S1 (Target II) and S2 (with a 13 lb hammer spring) significantly better at 20 yards. The gun comes with 2 barrels and a Cmore red dot mounted to the frame, not the slide. (I changed the red dot to an RMR) I enjoy shooting the S1 and S2 better. They are my favorite 9mm pistols.
I have the checkmate and I love it, the problem with these guns is how fast you go through ammo, what a great gun I just wish I could get some free ammo
Custom LOK grips too. Sweet. I have a bone stock silver and black TS with the wooden grips in 9mm. $600 less than the TSO without the magazine well, adjustable sights, or thumb rest. Checkering texture is not as fine and grippy and plastic trigger rather than the anodized one. I am going to add an adjustable rear sight and a fiber front sight from CGW and the race trigger and probably LOK grips and the metal mag well. Lots of dry fire to get used to the trigger is a wise thing to do before going live... I compare it to clicking a mouse button when it is properly adjusted. HANG ON TIGHT. it will seem like a bump fire if you don't follow through and pull all the way to the trigger stop. You will get an unintended double tap if you don't hang on.
Having a PPQ with it's zero pounds of take-up & ~3# trigger that I could set off with a shiver, I can't imagine an under 2# AR spec trigger on a pistol like that one w/o constantly using the safely. Talk about "real"! And even though it's as wide as a semi, the left side thumb rest is a nice addition. The whole pistol is just under the weight where it would qualify for wheels & a trailer hitch. No wonder there's practically no flip! Nice review as usual.
It is very difficult to think there is a production CZ that is better than the Shadow 2. Another awesome video brother glad you are able to experience it!
What’s the going rate for one of these gorgeous machines? Bought my first CZ (P-10C) just over a month ago and am saving for a P-07, or Sphinx SDP for EDC. I much prefer hammer fired pistols. Anyway, Now I know why people rave over CZ’s!
That enlarged magwell insert not being flush with the gun frame is my only issue with the his thing. Outside of that, it’s probably the best budget minded competition Gun that can compete with the 2500-4k and above 2011s
The nice thing about the CZ is you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good one. Even the POLY frame CZ'S are great guns and very precise and make better "carry" guns than the heavy azzed gun this guy is getting all giddy over. The older CZ75 is also a great pistol and can be very competitive. The older Omega's are also beautiful pistols.
It's a great pistol for competition, I have a couple of CZ's, one is a PO7 and a TZ 75 series 88 from Tangfoglio. I carry my PO7 as an EDC weapon. 42 oz is just way too heavy to carry. If you've ever heard of Jeff Cooper, he only liked 2 semi auto's one is the CZ and the other is the Colt 1911. Beautiful weapon. STI and Infinity modify these guns to the max and the prices are pretty steep at 3 thousand to 75 hundred bucks. Way too much for my social security check.
Looks super comfy for the hand & in love with the mag well! It honestly looks like it would be cool for someone with hand dexterity issues with the beavertail? Wicked cool emblem! And the orange trigger set you put in is nice.
It's definitely comfortable! Yes, I think the grip would potentially be good for someone with dexterity issues. Lok did an awesome job on the grips indeed. Thank you and cheers!
CZ needs to make more of these in 40sw. This gun is not legal in USPSA Production. It’s a limited gun and you need to shoot major in limited. Thus make more of these in 40
I have a TS in .40 and it is crazy nice! It shoots flat with .40 cal. Almost as nice to shoot as the S2 in my opinion. Great gun for the price for sure.
I love the way CZ pistols feel and the TSO is a lovely gun, but I sure wish CZ would show the 97B some love. Two of my favorite calibers 9x23 Winchester and 10mm are not possibe from CZ but that's why I have two Tanfoglio Stock 3's. Tanfoglio builds a very good gun, but I think a CZ is a little better.
I love CZs tho I do not own any, there is more than a few CZs on my to get list.... and between the shadow2, TSO and the Orange is one spot on my list and still having trouble deciding which one would best fill that spot for me, I am not someone that can buy all 3 .. so seeing more direct comparisons between the three would be nice
depends on the several factors but it goes like this : if its just a range toy and you are on the budget then get normal Tactical Sports - bit cheaper than Shadow 2 with super light and clean single action trigger if you want gun that can pull multiple duties - range toy, competition AND sidearm/home defense then Shadow 2 is the way to go as its the only one with double action capability (be warned thou it doesnt have firing pin block, so DONT DROP THE GUN its NOT drop safe) and if you want cream of the crop and are willing to pay for it the TSO is hard to beat, the Orange line means its hand picked parts and hand fitted by REALLY good gunsmith + the frame is a bit different as its the same frame used on Czechmate version - standard TS frame doesnt have the "peddal" which also is the mounting place for upper optic rail on Czechmate so if you go Orange you have a bit more room for upgrading the gun i personally own Shadow 2 and i shot Tactical sports (range i go to, basically EVERYONE has one :) ) and they are both phenomenal handguns, Shadow is just a bit more "practical" where TS and TSO are straight competition/range only guns
Thank you! Both are excellent guns but the SP01 is far more versatile being smaller, lighter, and has the accessory rail. It also is double action and single action. It’s an all arounder versus the TSO which is really geared for competition or range use. Hope that helps! Cheers!
Geez I hate to be that guy but I’m goin to be before some troll goes stupid on you, it’s IPSC, International Pistol Shooting Confederation, not ispc Nice video, I appreciate you doing reviews and keeping the language where parents can watch with kids around
What's the difference between this and the CZ Shadow 2....they made this gun distinct from the Shadow 2 for a reason. Leaning heavily towards the Shadow 2 as my first gun. I'm in Canada so the rules are different. This will be strictly for sport at the shooting range. I will need to catch up with my friends whom have higher calibre Glocks. I really appreciate the video informing me of the existence of this pistol.
That's an awesome looking gun. I like it better with your stuff on it, and I like everything on it too. Its a frickin nail driver isn't it? You know, it sorta looks like the slide rails are cut thicker than my SP01. I'm just starting to have slide lock fail too, and have no idea whats up with it. I don't ride my thumb on the slide either. Something is worn down too much, or something. I don't think it's the ammo bc I've used the same ammo all the time, and if anything, the recoil spring would be weaker, right? Sorry to get off your nice piece there, I'd like to have one, but I think MSRP is a little high for one of these...around $1.4-$1.6K and higher, right? I've pretty much just started my little collection, and after the Beretta M9A3 was bought, I've decided not to pay that for anymore guns unless it's in the "must have" category. This one, for me, is in the "special-I'd like to have it, but no real use for it" category. If I was shooting in matches, I'd get one. So I like nice guns that are definitely quality, but if I can't beat it up just a bit, I don't really want a pistol thats gonna sit. This would probably be my favorite, but even between the SP01 and a P10C, I like the P10C by just an R.C.H. just bc you can beat it up a bit. Really, "beat it up a bit" just means shooting the hell out of it without any problems, so the P10C just moved up a notch bc of the slide lock failing on the SP01. Ok, sorry so long...great gun, great video. Its one to get if you have the extra cash to put towards one. If you want me to remove this lengthy post, its ok, or I'll shorten it a bit. Thanks. They are going to be a rarity as far as the U.S. is concerned, bc CZ told me these don't usually make it here...Maybe I SHOULD get one.
It would be nice if they could work out a way to ground in the serrations all the way to the back of the slide, raise them up along side of the rear sight, and still leave room for sight adjustment. Of course the sight couldn't be beveled, it'd have to be screwed into a milled slot, maybe a drawback. Just a thought.
Being a gold cup 1911 owner, I loved your review. Same sights. Does this gun have a hammer half cock safety? 1600 seams a lot, so now I have to make the decision, new Ipad or CZ TSO :)
Great KS VIDEO that I came across . Hopefully you will come back to your channel soon . So much hard work to make your channel and YT screwed you over . Such a shame 😔😒😒 .
I have the original Tactical Sports. It’s basically the same without all the bells and whistles. Mine also has a less then 2 pound trigger. Really had to get used it it when I got it! I like my Shadow 2 more however if I had the TSO I think it could be my favorite CZ
Where did you buy that fancy orange trigger? Sorry, if you said where you bought it in the video, it has been a number of days since I watched it and I just bought a used one. Thanks in advance.
2 of these are my EDC. Finding matching ankle holsters was a challenge
I don't go out much
Haha! Right on Nomikes! Thank you and cheers!
LOOOOOOOL. Yes!

Beautiful craftsmanship
YOU KNOW YOU GOT A GREAT COMPETITION PISTOL WHEN EVEN YOUR BRASS JUST DROPS AND HITS THE TABLE AND HOLDS A TIGHT 1 INCH GROUP
I’ve owned a TSO in .40 for 2.5 years now... all I can say is wow, what a firearm. A friend is a gunsmith, he fit a 9mm barrel (mill 2 spots for breach lockup) and now I can shoot both 9mm & .40 (change magazine also) with practice shoot consistent with either.

ddryden2 hi. I also have .40 TSO, Im very interested on the gunsmithing that allow you to shoot both 9mm an .40.
There are UA-cam videos on fitting a barrel, using a file and a lot of patience
Not specifically for the TSO but technically similar. ua-cam.com/video/HLJfaOJwlJM/v-deo.html
ddryden2 ok. Thank you very much. Could you send me a few photos of what was done to your TSO? If its ok with you. earthshaker_ssi@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Great video.
That is a crisp looking handgun. You can actually see the craftsmanship on camera.
I don’t shoot competitions but that would never stop me from getting one.
Thank you very much! It’s an amazing gun for sure and I highly recommend it. Cheers!
I don't shoot comp and never plan on it..... but still buy these for there craftsmanship and reliability...... and also have love for a steel frame weapon......I only own one polymer weapon.... glock 17...... not a glock fan....but got it for a great deal......and it's definitely a great carry weapon
.......... Just got mine a few days ago OMG .. makes my SP01 look like a Toy ... It Shoots amazing .
Wish they had a fully click adjustable rear sight instead of click adj for elev and drift adj for windage. And, a 10 rd mag SKU for those of us in the people’s republic of ny.
I just can't get excited about the TSO but it is an extreme value for what it is. Beautiful gun!
It’s all good brother. A fantastic gun but there are other great choices out there. Thank you and cheers!
I put Lok grips on my CZ Shadow 2. Black with orange edge works great with the urban gray and black Shadow 2. Lok grips are terrific...good looking and super grippy.
Great review. Thorough, informative and interesting. THANKS ! Love the "KSGG" grips. The TSO is a great looking pistol, and I think it looks even better with those "Lokgrips"
That TSO SAO trigger is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I just wish I could afford it….
Pretty looking handgun
And the video well done.✓
The real matatan.🤔.
The aluminum grips get hot when shooting outside in warmer areas. I add VZ grips.
I thought the TSO had always included the orange paddle mag release. That's one of the few things I dislike about my TS2, that it doesn't have the paddle mag release and it doesn't have the frame mounted thumb rest. I just got a used Czechmate, though.
Nice !! I’ve been looking at the CZ TSO for some time now. I think I’m gonna buy myself one !
That's awesome! Thank you and cheers!
I’m a Glock guy but I shot one of these at a demo day and I had to have one, it is an amazing pistol, love it!
That's awesome! They are great guns indeed. Thank you and cheers!
What would be the Glock Alternative
@@WeCube1898 which glock? if you're asking for the glock 19 I went with the CZ P10c and could not be happier.
@@SebastianE18
Thanks
One major factor that got me into investing the TSO is that it still heavily resembles the original/classic CZ75 design. I've always wanted the SP-01 Shadow and 75B as collection but figured "why not invest in the culmination/evolution of both designs?"
Great way to look at a purchase for this beauty.
Just from the appearance it looks like a really well made gun.
Great review. Im picking this one up. I love the orange grips but after seeing the black on yours, damn, I think I like the black look even more. Gonna check out lokgrips.

Man if I was gonna do any sort of competition shooting this fine piece of Czech steel would DEFINITELY be in the top 3! Thanks for another great and thorough review. CZ’s always make for awesome videos 👍🏽
Thank you very much Kratos! I agree, it’s a fine piece of steel. I recommend giving one a shot if you can. Cheers brother!
Thanks for the recommendation. I’d love to get s Shadow 2, after my P01 and P07 of course, but if I can get ahold of a TSO I will definitely take your advice!! 😁
Awesome! Keep me posted.
Great gun, great review, waiting for more. Greetings from Poland.
Beautiful looking gun, and great review, just bought the shadow 2, love the look of LOK gripes, so expensive to get in Australia though
Nice Review, I love my CZ TSO & shoot it in Limited Minor! TFS Carry On!
A great gun indeed brother! Thank you and cheers!
Good luck in competition and love your videos!! Rich 👍👍
Super review! I tell ya what a good comparison would be the CZ TSO and the Canik TP9SFX . Expensive versus affordable. They have a few things in common!!
S2 would be better since they can shoot in the same class of USPSA , Production. TS is a Limited Class gun due to the single action design.
Every time I think I’ve figured out what I’m buying next, I get distracted whenever you release a new review. I guess guess good things come to those who wait?
Glad I can help be a distraction! Yes, waiting can sometimes payoff, lol. Thank you and cheers!
Comiefornia here just drooling🤤

This has to be in the top 10 for most beautiful pistol.
CZ-75 pistols truly are masterpieces of engineering and manufacturing- but it makes me wonder with the higher end models if CZ hires artists to paint what new pistols should look like… they are kind of like mechanical art pieces in my mind.
Beautiful pistol....One fine gun as nice detail and info....Good stuff....

Well said and I agree! Thank you and cheers!
El Guisongo I got to shoot it about a year ago. It felt too heavy for me. It shot very nice and smooth though.
If you are missing at 7-10 yards it isn't the pistol that is the problem
They don't get much better than the Shadow 2, and the mods on that one are excellent. Great video.
I completely agree brother! Thank you and cheers!
Great review. I shoot a Tactical Sport (TS) Czechmate for fun with Scale Grips which are more aggressive than those supplied with the gun. I measure the trigger at 1 lb. Another favorite pistol is the CZ SP01 Shadow Target II from CZ Custom - another work of art. I greatly appreciate your thoughtful reviews, Thanks
Thank you very much! I’d love to shoot a Czechmate at some point. I hear they are amazing. I agree about the CZ Custom SP-01. I have the Shadow Orange and love it. Cheers!

(I changed the red dot to an RMR) I enjoy shooting the S1 and S2 better. They are my favorite 9mm pistols.
Very interesting! That’s a crazy trigger at under a pound too. The TSO is about as light as I’d prefer, lol. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I don't know how I missed this video. What a beautiful pistol. Congratulations. Thanks for another awesome video!
This video should be classified under "porn".
Lol. Glad it’s not. It might be shut down! Thank you and cheers Jay!

Def lee a grand bell 🍒
I have the checkmate and I love it, the problem with these guns is how fast you go through ammo, what a great gun I just wish I could get some free ammo
Ain’t that the truth! Well said brother. Thank you and cheers!
Had to sub this guy. Speaks clear and super knowledgeable. I love CZ’s!
Thank you very much and cheers!
I have a CZ original TS. very good firearm. I use mine for USPSA. Absolutely love it.

It is very difficult to think there is a production CZ that is better than the Shadow 2. Another awesome video brother glad you are able to experience it!
By the way, I literally LOL'd at the trigger pull. That is INSANE!!!
It’s a toss up between the two for sure! Thank you and cheers brother!
i wouldnt call Orange series "production" they are all hand tuned and come in really limited numbers
The underlying orange on those grips is nice
Thank you very much! Cheers!
What’s the going rate for one of these gorgeous machines? Bought my first CZ (P-10C) just over a month ago and am saving for a P-07, or Sphinx SDP for EDC. I much prefer hammer fired pistols. Anyway, Now I know why people rave over CZ’s!
They are anywhere from 1500 to 1800 depending on where you look. Great guns indeed. Thank you and cheers!
I love CZ , they’re the best
That enlarged magwell insert not being flush with the gun frame is my only issue with the his thing. Outside of that, it’s probably the best budget minded competition Gun that can compete with the 2500-4k and above 2011s

No TSO 2 coming in a mth or so right? cause im going to order one of these this week. And i just ordered a Shadow 2 SA today ;).
Great review! You don’t have to rack the slide to pull the trigger just pull back the hammer.
Yes that’s true. Thank you and cheers!

I have a TS in .40 and it is crazy nice! It shoots flat with .40 cal. Almost as nice to shoot as the S2 in my opinion. Great gun for the price for sure.
you don't need to shoot Major, it's just that everybody does. If you get all A hits, shooting Minor PF can win just as easily! :)
You can convert it to .40 by just replacing the slide and magazines.
Ok, for shooting fun and maybe competition, I will buy either the Shadow 2 or the TSO. Why am I thinking that you would prefer the Shadow 2??
Haha! They are both amazing and two of my all time favorites. That said, the Shadow would be my first choice. Thank you and cheers!
KSGunGuy Duly noted! Thanks for another great production.
Are the checkered lock grips thinner than the factory aluminum grips?
How do you think this gun compares and measures up to the Tanfoglio Witness limited extreme 2?
They seem very similar.
nice video ksGunguy. which tactical sport should you prefer? 9mm vs 40 cal? thanks
The 9mm my friend. Thank you and cheers!
You don't have plans to compete in limited major my friend? :-)
I love the way CZ pistols feel and the TSO is a lovely gun, but I sure wish CZ would show the 97B some love. Two of my favorite calibers 9x23 Winchester and 10mm are not possibe from CZ but that's why I have two Tanfoglio Stock 3's. Tanfoglio builds a very good gun, but I think a CZ is a little better.
I love CZs tho I do not own any, there is more than a few CZs on my to get list.... and between the shadow2, TSO and the Orange is one spot on my list and still having trouble deciding which one would best fill that spot for me, I am not someone that can buy all 3 .. so seeing more direct comparisons between the three would be nice
I'll have some comparisons coming soon on those guns. Thank you and cheers!
depends on the several factors but it goes like this :
if its just a range toy and you are on the budget then get normal Tactical Sports - bit cheaper than Shadow 2 with super light and clean single action trigger
if you want gun that can pull multiple duties - range toy, competition AND sidearm/home defense then Shadow 2 is the way to go as its the only one with double action capability (be warned thou it doesnt have firing pin block, so DONT DROP THE GUN its NOT drop safe)
and if you want cream of the crop and are willing to pay for it the TSO is hard to beat, the Orange line means its hand picked parts and hand fitted by REALLY good gunsmith + the frame is a bit different as its the same frame used on Czechmate version - standard TS frame doesnt have the "peddal" which also is the mounting place for upper optic rail on Czechmate so if you go Orange you have a bit more room for upgrading the gun
i personally own Shadow 2 and i shot Tactical sports (range i go to, basically EVERYONE has one :) ) and they are both phenomenal handguns, Shadow is just a bit more "practical" where TS and TSO are straight competition/range only guns
That is One Awesome looking Gun, Really like how you set it up.Should have mine in a couple days. Great Video.
Thank you very much! Congrats on the pickup. You’ll love it. Cheers!
Excellent review I’m looking at getting one of these. I love my SP01, but I’m curious about the difference between the two?
Thank you! Both are excellent guns but the SP01 is far more versatile being smaller, lighter, and has the accessory rail. It also is double action and single action. It’s an all arounder versus the TSO which is really geared for competition or range use. Hope that helps! Cheers!
A Functional Piece of Art
I agree! Thank you and cheers!
Geez I hate to be that guy but I’m goin to be before some troll goes stupid on you, it’s IPSC, International Pistol Shooting Confederation, not ispc
Nice video, I appreciate you doing reviews and keeping the language where parents can watch with kids around
You're right, I misspoke. Good catch! Thank you and cheers!
Thanks for the video.
I am going for mine next week :)
Straight from the factory shop.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Just bought one today, looking forward to delivery / taking ownership and running my first mags thru it! I may have to sell my other 9mm now (H&K P30)
Congrats on the new CZ! You will love it. Thank you and cheers!
I like Canik SFX ready to rock. Btw not fair list with 2 CZ comon
I do what I want
What's the difference between this and the CZ Shadow 2....they made this gun distinct from the Shadow 2 for a reason. Leaning heavily towards the Shadow 2 as my first gun. I'm in Canada so the rules are different. This will be strictly for sport at the shooting range. I will need to catch up with my friends whom have higher calibre Glocks. I really appreciate the video informing me of the existence of this pistol.
That's a nice gun 🔫🔫🔫.
That's an awesome looking gun. I like it better with your stuff on it, and I like everything on it too. Its a frickin nail driver isn't it? You know, it sorta looks like the slide rails are cut thicker than my SP01. I'm just starting to have slide lock fail too, and have no idea whats up with it. I don't ride my thumb on the slide either. Something is worn down too much, or something. I don't think it's the ammo bc I've used the same ammo all the time, and if anything, the recoil spring would be weaker, right? Sorry to get off your nice piece there, I'd like to have one, but I think MSRP is a little high for one of these...around $1.4-$1.6K and higher, right? I've pretty much just started my little collection, and after the Beretta M9A3 was bought, I've decided not to pay that for anymore guns unless it's in the "must have" category. This one, for me, is in the "special-I'd like to have it, but no real use for it" category. If I was shooting in matches, I'd get one. So I like nice guns that are definitely quality, but if I can't beat it up just a bit, I don't really want a pistol thats gonna sit. This would probably be my favorite, but even between the SP01 and a P10C, I like the P10C by just an R.C.H. just bc you can beat it up a bit. Really, "beat it up a bit" just means shooting the hell out of it without any problems, so the P10C just moved up a notch bc of the slide lock failing on the SP01. Ok, sorry so long...great gun, great video. Its one to get if you have the extra cash to put towards one. If you want me to remove this lengthy post, its ok, or I'll shorten it a bit. Thanks. They are going to be a rarity as far as the U.S. is concerned, bc CZ told me these don't usually make it here...Maybe I SHOULD get one.
It would be nice if they could work out a way to ground in the serrations all the way to the back of the slide, raise them up along side of the rear sight, and still leave room for sight adjustment. Of course the sight couldn't be beveled, it'd have to be screwed into a milled slot, maybe a drawback. Just a thought.
That would certainly be interesting Frank! Thank you and cheers brother!
if they can product the same design in compact size 14 rounds this will be a great
Can the "gas pedal" be switched to the other side of the gun to shoot it left handed?
Incredibly awesome looking gun.
Thank you very much Paul! Cheers!
Awesome! KS that is a goodlooking gun....Great vid!
Thank you very much Youngguns! Cheers as always brother!
Being a gold cup 1911 owner, I loved your review. Same sights. Does this gun have a hammer half cock safety? 1600 seams a lot, so now I have to make the decision, new Ipad or CZ TSO :)
Thank you! Yes, it has a half cocked position, though not a DA gun. 1600 is high but to me, well worth it. Cheers!
This is a 9mm Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Cant wait to drink it in this weekend
Great vid, thanks for the upload
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
I wish I could find one of these!!! Or a P-01. It’s like unicorn hunting.
Are they really that hard to find?
joel oh yeah
Gun brokers got several rite now
James VI yeah I just ordered my P-01 🤙🏼
Great video and beautiful gun!! Now I have to go spend more money!! Oh well who needs a savings account anyway!! Rich
Thank you very much Donna! Savings accounts are overrated, lol. Cheers!
True, the left will figure out how to take your savings and give it to illegals. Oh wait too late they already have. Spend away.
Just curious,the orange trigger,is that aftermarket? Does the gun come with a 1lb trigger from factory or did you have work done?
Yes, the trigger is from Armory Craft. The pull is that light from the factory. Thank you and cheers!
How does it compare to the USP elite?
I just put a deposit on the TSO today. can't wait to use it
Great KS VIDEO that I came across . Hopefully you will come back to your channel soon . So much hard work to make your channel and YT screwed you over . Such a shame 😔😒😒 .
It looks amazing im not want buy gun but this think make me to buy two Lol
I have the original Tactical Sports. It’s basically the same without all the bells and whistles. Mine also has a less then 2 pound trigger. Really had to get used it it when I got it! I like my Shadow 2 more however if I had the TSO I think it could be my favorite CZ
I completely agree about the trigger! I like the original Tac Sport and would like to try it at some point. Thank you and cheers Rotor!
It is one of my all time Fav Guns..
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Is the THUMB REST available for the CZ Shadow2?
That is one bad mother. Can't go wrong with a CZ.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice looking pistol CZ makes fine pistols!
Thank you very much Keith! Always a pleasure brother. Cheers!
No rail because it’s sole purpose is competition. On a gun with “tactical” etched into the side.
Yeah, I'll take a Shadow 2 over this for my needs, but this is made for its own very small niche.
Looks like a Jon Wick weapon. Close range, quick precision. It's pretty #jellyroll, textured grips, in case your hands get........wet
Nice review❤️. Thanks for your work and sharing it🏆
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Good looking gun and quality to 👍
Its so beautiful this may be my EDC this pistol.
That's a huge EDC
Where did you buy that fancy orange trigger? Sorry, if you said where you bought it in the video, it has been a number of days since I watched it and I just bought a used one. Thanks in advance.
It’s an Armory Craft trigger. Thank you and cheers!
@@KSGunGuy01 thanks very much for answering and for making these videos.
My pleasure!
@@KSGunGuy01 are you running a Cajun Gunworks trigger pin as well or are you just re-staking/re-flaring the OEM trigger pin?
I do have the trigger pin as well. It's highly recommended.
True fact...you get what you payed for.Nice video
Love the CZs
It's Da Beast ! Lolol Great video, I shoot the Shadow2 for IPSC up here in Canada and thanks to your vid, that will it's brother .... thanks
I agree! I think you’ll love the TSO. Thank you and cheers!
