CZ TS 3 ORANGE Lands in US After Proving Itself at Worlds
CZ-USA is now shipping the CZ TS 3 ORANGE pistol to American competitors. The new generation competition gun arrived stateside following Eric Grauffel's capture of his 11th IPSC World Championship title, cementing the platform's credibility in production and open division matches. The TS 3 represents the next iteration of CZ's purpose-built competition line, built directly on the foundation of the proven TS 2 ORANGE platform.
Key Details
- The TS 3 ORANGE is now in stock and shipping across the United States
- Built on established TS 2 ORANGE chassis with refined ergonomics and controls for modern IPSC rulebooks
- Grauffel's 11th World title victory provides real-world validation from one of competitive shooting's most accomplished shooters
Why It Matters for Gun Owners
This isn't a theoretical competition gun. Grauffel's trophy case proves the TS 3 ORANGE runs in actual IPSC matches where shooters are racing against the clock and each other. For competitors in production or open division, you're getting a platform that's already won at the highest level. The TS 3 brings CZ's reputation for reliability into a package specifically tuned for speed and accuracy under match conditions. If you're running production division locally or chasing nationals, this gun eliminates the guesswork—you're buying proven. For casual shooters, the TS 3 ORANGE also works as a solid 9mm target gun with match-grade ergonomics and controls that handle dry fire and live drills equally well.
DownRange Analysis
CZ's decision to release the TS 3 ORANGE stateside right after a major championship victory is smart marketing grounded in actual performance. This isn't hype—it's a champion's gun shipping to people who want the same setup. The TS 2 ORANGE already earned respect in US production and open divisions; the TS 3 improves on a working formula rather than chasing trends. Expect these to move quickly among serious competitors who research their gear. The price point matters here too: CZ competition pistols sit between budget race guns and custom-built open guns, making this accessible to club-level shooters stepping up to regional matches. Get your name on a list now if you're considering one for next season's match schedule.
