I never expected to have to practice "safe sex" with a pistol. But there is a first time for everything.
I toured the Forum about the trigger bite problem. The primary fixes are: 1. replacing the stock trigger with an 85C, or 2. removing, heating and reshaping/reducing the curve of the stock trigger. Both fixes involve a fair amount of "smithing". The former also requires some costly parts, results in a trigger with a finish that doesn't match and for some shooters still does not prevent the problem. I am less then enthused about doing either of these to a new gun with a warranty.
For me, the bite does not start until I fire about 50 rounds. For self-defense this should be a non-issue. At least I hope so. For extended practice, a glove on the shooting hand works. But I don't like wearing gloves in general and especially not for shooting. A bandaid on the trigger finger would probably work and be less objectionable.
Everything considered, I believe I've found the most practical solution. For less than $3 you can buy a dozen fingertip rubbers at an office supply store. Unlike a bandaid, they are reusable. Buy a size big enough to not cut off circulation to your fingertip but tight enough to stay on. A dozen should last a very long time. Just stick a couple in your range bag. After about 50 rounds I can still feel a little bite but it stabilizes and I can live with it. CZ really should redesign the shape of the trigger.

They're called "finger cots".

That may be your name for them but Swingline, the manufacturer of mine, calls them "rubber finger tips" on the box. And the images I see if I search "finger cots" are not the same at all. They are nothing more than the finger tips of latex gloves cut off. They are very thin and would provide very little if any cushioning.

I acquired a 9mm 2075 RAMI last week that was 6 months old. It was in like new condition.
The first time I shot it, the trigger bite was noticeable, actually made my finger a bit raw. I realized that this gun had been fired very, very little (Did I mention it was in 'like new' condition?) Owning a few other CZ's, I knew that dry firing a few hundred times would smooth out the trigger pull. I have been dry firing for 5 days now, and 2 range trips later for actual firing, I can say the trigger bite is gone.
Now to get the POA/POI thing down.
All my other CZ's, POA is POI. With the RAMI, it seems to be more of a 1911/ 6 o'clock hold. Any body else have that experience?
( I got such a good deal on my like new RAMI, I feel like I should wear a mask when I practice! 8) 8))
