parts replacement

[micky]

I just got a new Rami BD 2019 build for EDC.  I've put about 300 rounds through it and it has performed flawlessly. Accuracy is amazing. In looking at the boards I see that various springs and an extended firing pin are all mentioned a lot for replacement. Have never had to do this for my S&W MP full size 9mm or my Ruger LC9 that the Rami is replacing.  Is this common for Ramis or am I just hearing the small number of problems out of a lot of Ramis out there. Not being overly mechanical, can somebody let me know who in Cleveland, Ohio area they recommend to do this kind of gunsmithing? I can of course change the recoil spring (not totally helpless) but am hesitant to start breaking down the pistol further than a field strip.  Love all the great stuff people write. So far I really love this pistol!
Thanks in advance!

The outer recoil spring is the one that needs replacing most frequently. The firing pin is a new one on me. All subcompacts are hard on recoil springs, nature of the beast.

 If you want to dry fire your Rami you will need to use a snap cap or a o-ring between the hammer and firing pin to avoid damage to the firing pin retaining pin. Most small pistols are hard on recoil springs I change my Rami's outer spring about every 1000 rounds and keep a new spring for carry it's no big deal.

Thank you!  I appreciate the input.

In order to feed hollow point bullets reliably I had to install really strong magazine springs. Installed in my 10 round magazine wolff +10% springs for full size magazines. To be clear talking about wolf mag spring for CZ Full size magazines not springs for 14 round magazines. And could still with difficulty get in 10 rounds.

Get yourself a spare recoil spring assembly and maybe a couple of extra outer recoil springs.  Practice with the new set and carry with the original.  Replace the outer spring when the gun starts to hiccup during practice.

The reason you see so many posts on various modifications is folks (myself included) like to tinker.  There are a number of things that will improve the trigger/feel/appearance/performance on the CZ platform but they are absolutely not required.  Maybe the CGW spring steel firing pin retaining pin and floating trigger pin are must haves but only so you can detail strip the gun with ease and worry less about the firing pin.  If you don't dry fire a bunch the OEM firing pin retaining pin will last long enough but eventually you are going to want to clean and inspect the firing pin and channel (along with other detail strip inspections).  When that time comes you should invest in a better FPRP from CGW.

Otherwise if you are happy with it, go shoot it a bunch and be merry.  It's a chunky little subcompact but it does shoot very well.

Cheers,

Rich at B & T Shooting Supplies, Pearl Rd, Middleburg Hts. is an excellent gunsmith.

He will only install RAMI parts from obtained from CZ, nothing else.

Hey jak!
Thanks for the info re: B & T.  Years ago I used a guy at Gander Mt. in Mentor but haven't needed anything done in a while.  Take care!
