This is only my second handgun, my other is a Ruger P89 9mm that I use as a duty weapon for my job as an armored car messenger. I bought it primarily because I wanted a backup gun for on the job and I wanted a weapon I could carry in general that would be small and comfortable.

The fit and finish on this gun is outstanding! Im very pleased. I handled a few compacts at the store, glock, sig 239, some other stuff, and I found that this one was very comfy in my hand as well as just having usefull features, like you can carry it hammer down and fire first round double action OR you can cock n' lock and roll with the safety on. Very versatile! I took it all apart yesterday to clean and de-gunk it (and the mags) and cant believe what a difference from the Chevy Caprice-like Ruger. Its like a compact BMW 3-series in comparison. Even the magazines feel very sturdy with very stiff springs and a large, very stable follower.

I'll be shooting it tomorrow afternoon, I'll post with my thoughts on shooting it when I get home.

I have heard some stuff on CZ forum about cartridges getting stuck going up the feed ramp, and that it was either the feed ramp not being smooth enough or that the mag springs not strong enough. Well the ramp is smooth and the spring is rock solid. I test-racked (is that how you'd say it?) both magazines from full to empty and every single round fed fine. This was after I cleaned it out. I have a feeling a lot of people werent cleaning the magazines before firing the gun. Yikes!

Any recommendations for a ccw holster? Im about 220 lbs with a 38" waist, and I've never carried concealed before so Im sort of in the dark with what will hide this gun well on me. It has to be of the IWB type, I wont be wearing it outside of my pants. What about pocket/ankle hosters, are they any good?

I have a feeling this wont be my last CZ.

Oh yeah, anyone know where I can get full size .40 mags for range use and such? I didnt see any on auction arms or anything.
 
CZ RAMI

Aaron;

The CZ RAMI was a great choice. My son and I have three of them, all in 9MM. I have a Desantis and Alessi IWB holster for my RAMIs. My son carries his RAMI in a Don Hume IWB. All of them are excellent holsters. I bought all the holsters for a mini Glock (model 26) and the RAMIs fit in them perfectly. Your RAMI chambered in 40S&W can use the full size magazines for a 40S&W CZ75B . They will stick out of the frame about an inch, but should function fine. We use both fullsize CZ75B magazines and CZ Compact magazines in our RAMIs at the range.

Best regards.

CZ RAMI Grips

Aaron;

Yes, they are all Hakans. The top pair is the very first pair that he made for the RAMI pistols. Serial number "001". I actually sent him the rubber grips off of that pistol as a template for all the RAMI grips he makes.

Hakan does outstanding work. My son and I have a lot of Hakan grips on our CZ pistols.

BTW, if you order a set of grips for your RAMI from Hakan I would suggest that you order an "oversized" set. The pistol on the left has that size set on it. The "oversize" grips cover slightly more of the grip frame and are acually notched for the magazine release button. The grips are not any thicker, so they as just as concealable as the "standard" size RAMI wood grips.

Best regards.
 
I put about 100 rounds through it today. I had quite a few times when the second or third round in the mag would not feed into the chamber properly. Will this work itself out or is there something wrong? I used WWB FNJ, remmington golden sabre JHP, and federal champion FMJ. Same results with all ammo.
