Just got it today… I am kinda speechless really. I went straight to the range, along with my new Colt Cobra (another thread) and a few boxes of factory ammo. The gun feels great in the hand and all controls are snicker-snack. 17 round mags are nice and easy to load. The slide/barrel/frame fit is tight, tight, tight but easy to rack.

I don’t even know what to say… I started shooting and I hit everything… everything… just aim and squeeze that 2lb trigger and hit. Shoot faster… hit again. Hit hit hit. All the time. Everything. 50 yard plates are easy. Holy Hell. I have absolutely never, ever ever picked up a pistol and just shot and shot and shot and hit and hit and hit like this. I was laughing hysterically; thank goodness I was the only one at the range else someone would call for the ambulance and straight jacket. Really, really amazing. Some unseen hand was guiding my trigger finger. It wasn’t me. I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m in love. I am going to shoot 1000 rounds a day and I am never going to miss. I don’t even know what else to do with my life now but shoot shoot shoot and hit hit hit. Ok, that’s all I can say, I have to shoot more.

My boss bought one, let me try it. My Beretta M9 with Langdon and Mcarbo goodies was amazing. The S2O was bordering on unbelievable. EASY 3" groups offhand at 25 yards (that isn't great, I know, but it is for me, especially with an unfamiliar gun). I considered getting the Blue to compare, but figured I would end up disappointed and $1K poorer...
 
Nice. I have the original CZ Tac Sport with complete 9mm and 40 uppers. Just got an SP01 Shadow that's been Cajunized. I put an SRO on the 9mm upper and shoot the Tac Sport in USPSA Limited Optics. I shoot the 40 upper with iron sights in Limited. The Shadow 2s are great guns.
 
Congrats! I bought my S2O a couple of years ago. Absolutely the most accurate and fun to shoot pistol I've ever owned. I put about 200 rounds a week through it, week in and week out, and the fun just never stops. I bought an extra slide for it and had it milled for an SRO.

It's actually saved me money, since I have not even been mildly tempted to buy another range pistol since getting it. ;)
 
Thanks guys! Beautiful guns! Funny, orange USED to be my least favorite color - now it’s my favorite! I want to paint my house and car to match the grips.
 
Awesome! ... If you can believe it it's big brother the TSO is even better. But begs the question how much better does one need when you can stack-em already

They are competition legal in separate classes. So the correct answer = both are required.
 
My first CZ was a CZ75 about 25 years ago. Good gun but I traded it away on something equally forgotten. But the Shadow 2 Orange… don’t get me started again. I just ordered another case of 9mm which should last me most of the week :)
 
I really enjoy the CZ Orange pistols.

Left to right: TS2 Orange, TSO, Shadow 2 Orange, and SP01 Shadow Orange

That TS2 Orange must be a recent addition to your collection.
How does it compare to the TSO? You think the addition of the bull barrel adds much?

My TS2O is in 40, and stupidly sold my TSO.
And honestly, I kinda prefer the DWX.

I have the DWX also. I haven’t shot the TSO and TS2O together, but the TS2O is nearly 4oz heavier. I prefer the styling of the TS2 also. I like the new frame and slide
 
Very nice! Thanks for show-and-tell! My LGS has the DWX and a TS2 (blue). How do these two compare in terms of inherent accuracy and shootability?

Thanks!
