Eric Grauffel Wins USA IPSC Nationals 2026

The USA Handgun 2026 IPSC Nationals took place from October 2 to 4, 2026, at the Greater Pittsburgh Gun Club in Bulger, Pennsylvania, USA. The Level III competition brought together 560 shooters, who competed across 21 stages.

Eric Grauffel (FRA) delivered the CZ Shooting Team's greatest success, claiming victory in the Optics division with his CZ TS 3 ORANGE pistol and adding another prestigious title to his impressive international record.

Other CZ Shooting Team members also achieved excellent results. Robin Šebo (CZE) finished fourth in the Open division with his CZ 75 TS CZECHMATE pistol, while František Blaha (SVK) also secured fourth place in the Production division, competing with his CZ SHADOW 2. Both narrowly missed out on a podium finish.

Another noteworthy performance came from young Robin Grauffel (FRA), who finished sixth overall in the Production Optics division with his CZ SHADOW 2 ORANGE OR pistol. Despite still competing in the Junior category, he demonstrated his skills against strong competition across all age groups.
