Greetings fellow Rami fans.
My brother finally got a Rami, a little beat up so he's going to get it cerakoted and grind off the dovetail. Has anyone on this forum done that or shot one with the dovetail ground off?
-
Hummmm :D, are you talking about the beavertail (protrusion at the rear of the frame) or a dovetail (the slot in the slide for mounting sights)?
-
There is not a lot of gun there to begin with. I can't think of a mechanical reason to not grind it off. However I have large hands, I would not want to shoot that without a beavertail (I am guessing that what's you meant) since I think hammer bite would be an issue in fast draw and shoot situations. Not a big deal, but it does make it less comfortable to shoot and therefore less likely to be trained with.
-
Although I have no issue carrying mine comfortably, I can see wanting to melt the edges of the beavertail a little. Grinding it off though? I think that very likely ruins the frame. Possible issues would be an inability to get a safe repeatable grip when drawing, hammer bite, and voids in the metal casting.

... and voids in the metal casting.
Having ground off a square trigger guard of a pre-B 75 to re-profile it to a round one I did hit a void that I had to weld closed. This would be my concern with modifying the RAMI frame. I can see shortening it some but not completely removing it...Whatever.

After clarifying it with brother he meant a partial grinding of the dovetail (above the grip) not a complete grinding it all off.
Thanks for your replies, appreciate it.
