The CZ 75 Tactical Sport pistol is a Czech single-action firearm specifically designed for practical shooting competitions.

Background

Originally, the CZ 75 IPSC models were manufactured in versions for two IPSC practical shooting divisions: Modified (the 75 M IPSC) and Standard (the 75 ST IPSC). As of 2013, the model was used by the CZUB's factory shooters in the IPSC Standard division. The CZ 75 TS was officially discontinued for production in 2018.

(20 cartridges in the magazine). The .40 S&W

offers a score advantage by considering a higher or “major”

(according to the IPSC rules). However, the 9mm model is appealing to shooters who do not reload their ammo and in countries where the law does not allow the use of major calibers, as well as for those who want to take advantage of the low recoil and very high magazine capacity of the

version. CZ Custom has marketed a magazine extender for the .40 S&W version that increases capacity from 17 to 20 cartridges, but with this accessory the pistol is no longer legal in IPSC Standard Division, though it is eligible for USPSA Limited Division.
