magpulled Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm in the market for a limited gun but in not sure which would be a better choice. I've found a TS with 3 mags for 1200ish and then czc offers the cts for double the money. I just don't know if czc's is worth double the money. What yall think?

Garmil Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 If the price difference is not a big deal or you have small hands and don't like to work on your guns get the cts. A stock ts with 3 mags for 1200 is high though should be able to get one closer to 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpulled Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Where can I find one for 1k? CZC is out of their TS right now but Stuart said he would email me when they come in. What's the difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalmBeach1 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Grab A gun has the .40 TS for $1104 plus $5.99 for shipping. Don't be concerned about the 2 mags, as it comes with 3 mags. Just a bad description. http://grabagun.com/cz-75-tac-spt-40s-w-5-4-2-t-2-17rd.html Edited July 31, 2015 by PalmBeach1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 IMO, the CZC is way overpriced based on what you actually get. I like my TS 40 very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leas327 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 What are he differences between the cts and TS. Does the cts have the accu bushing ? The accu bushing is a $350 option on top of the price of the CTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selecw Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have a CTS in 9 (with the ace bushing) that I use for 3gun and a TS in .40 that I use in USPSA Limited. They are both excellent. Triggers are very similar. Sigh picture is very similar. The controls on the CTS are slightly easier to reach (I have thin aluminum grips on both). Finish is better on the CTS. Don't rule out a Stock III in .40 - that's my back up gun. MUCH thinner than the TS. It holds one less round after you put extended base pads on both guns.

JayDee Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Lots of TS on gunbroker recently for around $1100. Fantastic value for the price. I have a TS 40 and shot it totally stock for about a year. Over time I added a FO front sight, magwell, thin AL grips, stainless guide rod and CZC extended mag bases. Also have a 9mm top end for 3gun and steel. To make a truck analogy, the stock TS is like your basic Ford XLT model. The CTS is the Platinum package, all the extras come already installed.

Neomet Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Kinda depends on the type of person you are. The fundamental question is if you are the type to leave it stock. Almost to a person everyone I have seen in this sport ends up hotrodding their entry level choices which ends up costing them more than if they had just purchased the platinum edition in the first place. I will say that the difference in how the grips feel between the stock TS and CTS is dramatic to me. The cutdown grip makes this the best feeling pistol I have ever handled. The stock one felt, well kind of like a brick and I have pretty big hands. I also consider the price of a pistol to be one of the lesser expenses in this sport. If/when you sell it you get the depreciated value back so you will make up some of the difference in cost between entry and platinum. We spend way more money on ammo, entry fees, travel costs and those are non-recoverable costs. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Cts has Grip size reduction Dust cover cut shorter adjustable rear sight. Fiber optic front sight flat aluminum Trigger wide right safety. aluminum grip tape grips. New Magwell stainless steel guide rod. competition hammer. Don't see any that low right now I know I did a while ago. A few for $1100 now on gunbroker Also extended basepads, spring and follower kits. We also replace the slide with an oversize slide that is fitted to the frame. So slide to frame fit is much tighter than factory TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cz custom website shows the accu bushing as a $350.00 add on. And says nothing about basepads/springs/followers says 17rd mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbent Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Does anyone know if you can run the TS with a wide safety on the left side and a narrow on the right? Or possibly run one with only a wide safety on the left side? I have a high grip with large hands and the ones that I have held the right side safety seems really awkward to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balmo Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It is exactly how I have mine, narrow on the left and wide on the right. Lefty here.

CZinZA Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The only mod I've done to mine is a magwell. Everything else is just perfect for me the way it is Sent by Jedi mind control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisix Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I have shoot both. The only thing I didn't like on the CTS is cutting down the dust cover. The recoil was very noticeable on the CTS. The factory full length dust cover felt recoil was about half as the CTS. Seemed slightly more than my SP-01 shooting 130-135PF 9mm. I also like the full frame profile of the factory. I imagine CZC could build a CTS to you exact preferences that could be higher or lower in cost. If I built a CTS I would do everything on the standard CTS minus the frame reduction, dust cover cut down. I would keep the standard fixed sight, go with concealed hammer and rubber grips(not sure if they fit the TS). I would also get a Tungsten guide rod. Not sure if the guy who makes one for the SP-01 has for the TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpulled Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks for the input guys. My TS should be here Wednesday. What magwell should I get and does vz make grips or will shadow grips work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Any plans to shoot IPSC? The CZUB and one of the CZC magwells will fit the standard box (supposedly, I don't know this for a fact). I have the large one from CZC, but would probably get the smaller one from CZC if they'd had it when I bought mine. It seems to be just as a wide and I think it looks more proportional. You'll have to trim grips that aren't made specific for a TS of CM if you are using a magwell. About 1/4" for the CZC magwells, a little more for the CZUB. After trimming they'll still work on your 75/SP01. A little a of the frame will show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
