Unfortunately, my CZ RAMI has recently been giving me problems where none had existed before. Even more unfortunate is the fact that it's my primary belt CCW. I've switched to my 642 and my full-size 75 for the time being, but I have to accept that my RAMI might be beyond hope.
I've already tried replacing the recoil springs (both the loose one and the captive one) and the ejector spring, but I still get random extraction failures. I had previously gone several thousand rounds with this gun with no problems, but started having FTExtracts (maybe once every one or two hundred rounds, depending on ammo, but it does it with all ammo and all mags). The only thing I haven't done is replace the extractor itself (a ~$30 part).
I could send it to CZ, but I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to fix it or even diagnose the problem - it doesn't FTE that often, you see, and I wonder if they would fire enough rounds make sure it was fixed.
I could order a new extractor, but it might not fix anything, especially if the problem is some sort of subtle timing thing.
I could sell the gun, but I'm not comfortable with just passing a problem on, especially when it could possibly endanger someone's life.
Any thoughts? What do you do when a trusted gun goes down?
