CZ Rami?

[Mossy Man]

Anyone have experience with these?

Reliable?

Are there slim grips available?

I'm looking for a smaller companion to my PCR.

I know the only rostered version is the safety model, but as I understand it, the safety models can be manually lowered to half cock and it is safe to carry? Also, while hammer down or half, the safety cannot engage?

Looking for answers specific to this handgun.

And before anyone says it: yes, I already own multiple Glocks and am aware of controls and training.

Thanks.

Correct. When in half cock the safety cannot be engaged.

picked up a first gen Rami in 40 in trade and it was a dog... sometimes it would run threw the mags others it would jam every other round.. traded it off(with new owner knowing the issues) he replaced all the springs including mag spring and it still jammed like a mofo... personally i would steer clear of any older Rami's in .40.. new ones i have not heard of any issues but my outlook on CZ's is clouded from my experience with the Rami and i stick with my 1911's ...

I would be only ibterested in 9mm

Other than the post above I haven't seen complaints about the RAMI's reliability. For what it's worth my 9mm has about 1000 rounds and 0 malfunctions. It's a chunky monkey though and I don't think slim grips would slim it down much.

Though i do not one one i have seen allot of coverage on them. Peoples main gripes seem to be the RAMIs thickness, it is a chunky little pistol. It is also known to be exceptionally accurate for its size. I got my hand on one a while ago and found it to be much more comfortable than i expected.

The number one cause of issue i have seen in the RAMI is the longevity of the recoil spring. The RAMI uses a double captured recoil spring that can ware out and give rise to malfunctions at low round counts. I have seen it stated that the RAMI recoil spring is good for as low as 500 rounds. I have seen other state that they got much higher round counts on their recoil springs. Some folk make a habit of using two recoil springs, one for the range and one for carry. I have been told that low round count recoil springs are common in sub compact pistols from other manufactures.

The RAMI like allot of CZs seams to be sensitive to higher grain bullets (147g) with high shoulders due to the relatively short freebore.

Like the CZ75 the RAMI dose have a half cock notch on its hammer. I assume that in stock configuration the RAMIs safety cannot be engaged, hopefully someone can confirm this as fact. If the pistol is modded this is not always so. The RAMI has a very low profile safety lever that should be less prone to unwanted movement in the first place.

I intend on grabbing one up eventually. No carry where i am at so it is low on my list.

There are four lights! eheheheheh

Tok, you are awesome.

I have a CZ Rami. Decocker version, This allows the gun to be safely carried and can be fired after a single long travel trigger pull.
Nice little gun, well built and fun to shoot, Having said that :
-- It is "Boxy" in its feel
-- It is Heavy (for a CCW)
-- The grip is not "Narrow or Slim", it is thick.

Hope this helps !

Had a 9mm Rami last year. Ran a couple hundred rounds of all types and weights of ammo - steel, brass, etc. Never had one FTF or FTE. I really like the CZ 75B - the way it fits my hand - and the Rami was no different. I sold it because the small size made it really snappy. I can't imagine what the .40 would be like.

I know many think a .380 is not enough stopping power, but I really liked the way my Bersa Firestorm shot. It felt good in the hand, easy follow-up shots, and was quite accurate. Perhaps something else to consider.

Good luck.

Just got this Rami. The safety does not engage in half cock. Feels very solid and well build. Size is not a problem with my small hands. Only setback are the sights. They are very small and hard to view.

I had a 9mm Rami and found it to be the perfect carry piece. Just the right size, not overly heavy, superbly accurate, and felt great in the hand. I carried it half cock in the appendix position and would never have switched if I could have just made it reliable. My issue was failures to return to battery.

I've never had any type of failure whatsoever in the 3 other CZ's I've owned (75B, PCR, and SP01 Tactical) so maybe I just got unlucky with my Rami.

I now carry a boring old Block 27 because it's never failed to go bang.

hm i do wonder how that would work in relation to my decocker models.

when i fire my decocker, my thumb typically pushes up under the decocker.

in this case, it might push up the safety during firing; it looks like the safety models are more like 1911s riding thumb on top of the safety

I've only got 300 rounds thru mine. It has not had an issue and I find it to be a great point and shoot pistol with out rushing up to sight. I'm getting old and I like this a lot better than some other pistols.

Try placing your right thumb above on the safety or decocker. When I draw from holster and bringing gun up safety is coming off, ready the to fire, POA.
