The Competition-Ready CZ TS 3 ORANGE
The biggest new release in the handgun segment is the CZ TS 3 ORANGE, a competition pistol designed for IPSC Optics. It is a high-end handgun which, according to CZ, is assembled by the company’s top gunsmiths. At its core is a cold hammer-forged, polished, heavy bull barrel. The slide features a new optics-mounting system, with the optic now attached directly to the slide rather than via adapter plates. The mounting interface is compatible with the RMR, RMSc, DeltaPoint Pro, and Holosun-K standards. Another key feature of the TS 3 ORANGE is its precision trigger with a straight trigger shoe and a pull weight of 700 grams. In terms of ergonomics, the pistol differs somewhat from other CZ designs, featuring a specially shaped safety, a thumb rest (“gas pedal”), and dedicated grip panels. Also noteworthy are the enlarged magazine release button and magwell.

Classic CZ 457 LEGEND
CZ has also catered to collectors and classic-firearms enthusiasts. On display at the stand was the CZ 75 LEGEND, a recreation of the first version of one of the world’s most highly regarded pistols. It offers an ideal opportunity for those who want to shoot the iconic “seventy-five” without putting wear on an original vintage example. The retro firearms segment has been performing very well recently, and CZ clearly does not intend to lag behind in this market.
CZ 457 TARGET
The CZ 457 TARGET is a rifle designed with winning competitions in mind. Based on the 457 platform, it stands out through several important features. First, it is a single-shot system with no magazine. Second, it uses an entirely new trigger mechanism, adjustable across a wide range with a pull weight of around 91 to 181 g. The mechanism can be adjusted without removing it from the action – it is only necessary to remove the trigger guard. All adjustments are made using the keys included in the set.
The action is paired with a heavy varmint barrel featuring a match chamber and a target crown. Changes were also made to the bolt itself – the bolt handle is straight and ends in a prominent knurled knob. According to CZ, the 10-shot group size at a distance of 50 m measured 17.5 mm. The barrel ends with a special front sight base featuring an 11 mm rail on top and a rail underneath for a SCATT device.
The all-new aluminum stock is intended to give shooters full adjustment to match their anatomy:
- a palm rest adjustable in 3 axes,
- a pistol grip adjustable in 3 axes, offered in 3 sizes,
- a fully ambidextrous cheekpiece adjustable in 3 axes, with a different shape on each side,
- a buttstock adjustable horizontally, fitted with a buttplate adjustable in 5 axes,
- an adjustable 3-segment support plate.
The wooden elements are made of oiled walnut. All of the components listed above can be adjusted using the keys included in the set.
