Someone should build one just as thin as the Hellcat or Sig p365!!i would be all over it!!

Aside from the Rami, the H&K P30sk?
If it was optic ready from the factory, I’d be all over one of those right now.
Otherwise, besides the Rami, Sig P224, Beretta PX4, Sphinx, Bersa?

Unfortunately, a lot of these subcompact DA/SA pistols, including the Rami, have been discontinued as the trend has been towards the plastic, striker-fired fad.
Also, unfortunately, none of the DA/SA subcompacts have come “optics ready” from the factory, unlike a few of the striker guns, which is probably the biggest step forward in handguns. I guess there’s always CGW...
-
I do have the Beretta PX4 in compact and the HK P30SK.Love it but still too thick! Thinking of something like thinner an inch thickness like the Sig P365. Not into striker fired as I feel that DA/SA is just as good when in the SA mode. Same nice trigger pull!

Spot on! Would even like a poly CZ micro ish “2011”

My XDe is about as thin as I would want a firearm. Great D/A trigger and the S/A is smooth and light.
-
I agree. I'd be all over something like that in a heartbeat!
Unfortunately I don't think I represent the vast majority of shooters who all seem to prefer plastic-fantastic striker fired guns.
So for now I carry my P-01 when I can and my S&W Shield when I have to (I've owned and then sold a Sig P365. Not a bad gun, but I just preferred the Shield).
Naturally, I shoot the P-01 MUCH better than the Shield.
-
It was written here almost ad nauseam that CZ should offer a sub-compact version of the P07. But apparently CZ is unfortunately hard of hearing in this regard.
Or we should write it here much more often according to the motto: Constant dripping wears away the stone. ;D
CZ never could make enough Rami BDs to keep in stock - flew off the shelves. The safety models, not so much, but they continued to make them instead of more BDs for some stupid reason. Kind of like buying Colt and keeping their management with the idea of rebuilding the plant in CT instead of taking the name and moving everything to new facilities down South. Dumb.
A Rami II, optics ready with a rail would be a winner...but noooooo, they’ve got to make plastique Glock clones.

Not a Subcompact, but I added a new HK 45C to the collection yesterday. She is Ultra Sweet. 8)
-
@cz_fanatic, I have one too. You will love it. Problem these days is that .45 ammunition is exceedingly scarce.

Is it DA/SA or LEM?

DA/SA on this one.

I have a 45C V3 and love it. Butter-smooth trigger and so ridiculously accurate it even makes my shooting look good. :D
As for whether CZ is listening to feedback about demand for a sub-com DA/SA or not, I wouldn't say that they aren't listening. I'd just say they remain unconvinced it has sufficient market appeal. A handful of CZ fanatics on this forum asking for one is hardly represents a large segment of the market. Like it or not, it's not what the vast majority of gun buyers are asking for. The P30SK is probably as close as you're going to get, and it's a really good option, actually.

Ramis in my area sat on the shelf and collected dust.
IMO the rami was a dud, I'll take the PCR any day of week over a rami and twice on Sunday over a p365.

Huh...not sure how a pistol in continuous production for 17 years could be considered a dud. If anything, the Rami BD was just too hard to find, or maybe too hard to make in this era of cheap (to make) plastique and MIM subcompact striker pistols.
The only Ramis I’ve seen sit on the shelf at a LGS for any length of time have been the B “safety” model 2075s, which are not nearly as desirable as the de-cocker BD model, which has developed a cult following. I don’t know why CZ made the safety model Rami in any numbers - they certainly weren’t nearly as popular as the BD. Usually, the BDs got snapped up pretty fast from distributors, gunwatcher, etc. as soon as they arrived in the US. Occasionally, you might find one in some out of the way gunshop where the clientele are ignorant of what they are. I found two 2020 BDs a few months ago in a LGS in a little podunk town - of course I snapped them right up PDQ since they aren’t being made right now. Hopefully, CZ will bring the Rami back in the near future - updated with a rail and optics ready! One can hope...or send their Rami to CGW...

One of the unique small guns is Walther P99c AS.
It is striker gun, but with DA/SA, it's the only striker which is possible to cock and decock.
Unfortunately, it's a rare gun, hard to find.

Interesting!
The FN 509 has a DA/SA striker set up as well, though no ability to decock it. After racking the slide, the first trigger pull is longish and subsequent pulls about half as long after reset. Along with the hinged “safety” trigger, it seems very safe to carry with a round in the chamber.
However, IMO, nothing beats a good hammer-fired DA/SA trigger pull, especially if you run into a hard primer.

I do not view the Rami as a dud at all. It is pretty much the same size as the legendary Glock 26/27. I owned a Rami for a while and liked it, but decided my M&P Shield got carried more and sold off the Rami. Now, before I got the Rami I had never heard of it and 99% of people that got to check it out at the range had never heard of it either.

The Rami is also the same size as the Sig P365XL and the FN 509c, but with better ergos and trigger.
Now that Leupold started producing the Delta Micro red dot, which mounts low like a ghost ring on the rear sight dovetail on Glocks and the M&P, hopefully they’ll make a hammer friendly version for CZs.
That way, you wouldn’t have to have your slide custom machined for a rds.

I have to throw a vote in here for the Springfield XD-E. For someone who prefers a DA/SA pistol (with the option of a 1911-like safety), the XD-E is a good choice. They are not pretty, but they are thin, hold 10 rounds, and are super reliable. And the trigger is long and deliberate in DA mode (revolver-like) and precise and light in the SA mode. And they are not expensive, relatively speaking.
I wish CZ would out with a single-stack, 10 round, relatively small (but not so small it lacks reliability) pistol -- call it a RAMI 2.0 if you want -- that would fill this niche. It would work for a lot of people who prefer DA/SA pistols (including 1911's) for their triggers and inherent safety. And 10 round magazines may become the limit if gun controllers get their way, making this size pistol a good option.
-
From a safety standpoint, in my opinion, an externally visible hammer is still the very best option to see at first glance whether a gun is cocked or not. The red pin that protrudes when cocked on a Walther P99 is a great safety advantage compared to other striker-fired pistols, but is still not as conspicuous as a cocked hammer.
I agree with you, historically I didn't like striker and "plastic" guns, but to be honest hammer handguns are close to their extinction. :(
All new models are striker guns, and hammer guns are discontinued one by one. XD-M was the first striker pistol which impressed me with its ergonomics and accuracy, and P99 could be another one - I need to try.

I like about every CZ handgun there is ..... except the RAMI. Just something about it I do not like. CZ compact or P-01 is my favorite EDC CZ. P-07 my favorite range CZ, although a P-09 at a good deal would be a consideration.

Have you actually shot a Rami? They’re pretty much identical to all CZ75s internally and ergonomically. The short grip can be remedied by an extended floor plate.
I know they may LOOK a little funky until you shoot one - same as all CZ75s - I learned to appreciate the aesthetics once I started shooting them.

And this is EXACTLY the downfall for those of us who don't like the RAMI. If we need to add a floorplate/mag extension to make the gun comfortable too shoot then it becomes no more concealable than a standard compact at that point and the PCR or P-01 are the better option.

Agreed.

Yep.
Plus they weigh about the same.

Of course, this is a thread about SUBCOMPACT DA/SA pistols. Maybe you guys should start a thread about (barely) compact pistols....

And when you start adding grip extensions to subcompact pistols to make them fit a man's hands they are no longer SUBCOMPACT so then we could include the no longer subcompact Rami with extension in that thread too.

The extended floor plate on my Rami only extends 1/4” lower, which makes the grip 3/4” shorter than my P-01, plus the slide is 1” shorter, so...still subcompact.
But show us on the anatomically-correct doll what the bad Rami did to you to make you hate it so.

We already told you what we don't like. You simply can't handle the fact that the Rami is gone and you can't make others like the same thing as you. You and others like the pistol while others do not and really it's not a hard concept for most of us to understand. There's a reason the market is as diverse as it is.

I have to ask this: has anyone ever shot a .40 S&W Rami? What's the recoil like? I have a Tristar c-100 in 40, recoil is no worse than a .40 75B. I imagine Rami recoil would be more pronounced.

I've shot the old poly framed one. It's...stout. I would not recommend. There is a reason it's no longer made.

The polymer framed Rami was discontinued long ago as they had issues with the frames. The metal framed Rami was/is a solid performer albeit just not my cup.

Thanks for info, I've eyeballed them wondering. Bought a 10mm Double Eagle a long time ago, it was more than I wanted for a defensive pistol and I traded it back in for a .45 ACP.

That's because the Rami is basically straight in the back compared to the nice rounded hump a P-01 has. You can use the Handgun Hero website to overlay them on top of each other and see for yourself. Side by side they're very noticeable to me, both in hand and by eye; it makes the Rami very off-putting to me too.
I've read somewhere that CZ would run into import restrictions if they tried to bring in smaller guns, which is why they don't make single stacks. Anyone know if that's correct?
-
yes, but that was before they opened up a US location last year.
I'm patiently waiting for a single stack sub from them WITH a hammer of course..
-
Ty for the info! And yes to hammer from me... But I highly doubt it'll happen

^ Great choice. I think that if you want a sub-com DA/SA pistol, the P30SK is one of the best options available these days.

Very nice. Let us know how it shoots for you. I thought I wanted one a couple years ago until I actually handled one. Then not so much.
-
I love the ergonomics. With the medium backstrap and side plates, she fits my hand like a glove.

I really like the gun but like the Rami the grip was just too short for me otherwise I would have definitely bought one.
-
I have one, too, also LEM, and I love it. Have both versions of the ten round mag as well as 13 and 15 round extended mags; and I recently picked up a VP9SK. As to the comment about shooting them, I’ve enjoyed shooting both every bit as much as shooting my P-01.

I picked up a VP9SK about a month ago and love it. First range trip with it I was knocking down plates @ 15 yds with ease, and I can't say that about every sub-compact I've shot. But I think I 'need' a P30 in the stable as well....

Indeed. Almost picked up a long slide for my VP9 the other day. That and the CZ P-10s are my favorites strikers, hands-down.

Unfortunately they do not. Currently, anyway. But the P30SK optics-ready would be a sweet package.
