Standard Division Needs You! Here's why the TS2 is the best Action Air pistol in the game.

"Are you ready?" (deep breath) "Stand by"… BEEP.
The thrill of the audible signal, the rush of executing your stage plan, and the dopamine hit of lining up the sights, pulling the trigger, and placing two holes in a piece of cardboard faster and more accurately than anyone else — that’s Action Air.

Action Air is an exciting sport (and a great stepping stone to IPSC competition), and the cost of entry is actually pretty reasonable. Joining friends or fellow competitors for a match is a rewarding way to spend an afternoon — you can compete at any skill level and still get that adrenaline rush.

Why the TS2?

So why the TS2? Compared to the Tokyo Marui 5.1 Hi-Capa, the TS2 gives you a lot out of the box without needing costly upgrades. The TS2 is built for Standard Division and is competitive with no modification at all. With a fixed outer barrel, a two-way tunable trigger, magwell, and a bright fiber front sight, it has everything you need — aside from a few extra magazines. It’s longer, wider, and slightly taller than the Shadow 2; that gives you a more 2011-style grip and a very long sight radius, which helps accuracy (longer than that of a 5.1 Hi-Capa).

A standard gun has to fit in the box, right? Yes — and with the extra length, magwell, and adjustable rear sights, the TS2 fits perfectly in the Standard Division measurement box.
 For competitors jumping from IPSC to Action Air this pistol is 1:1 in size and weight, will fit in your existing holster. For some shooters strictly on the Action Air side this is a HEAVY pistol. When it comes to double taps its very planted and consistent.

How Good Is It?

At the Philippines Action Air World Shoot, Lai Pak Lam took 1st overall in Standard Division and 3rd overall in the three-day match — and the pistol had only been on the market for a few months prior. Out of the box, Greg C also took 1st overall in an Action Air match at 007 Airsoft in Calgary shortly after acquiring the new TS2 personally.

With the growth of Action Air in Canada, this might be your entry point: simple, well built, and ready out of the box. Focus on the rules, pick up extra magazines, sort your belt and holster, and get into the sport. This pistol is built and ready to help you compete at any level.
 For the advanced shooter, this is a capable platform with plenty of room to grow and build on. Its fun to shoot and the aftermarket is growing quickly.
