CZ short base pad extension and RAMI

[Xtinction]

Has anyone ever tried using the CZ custom short base bad extension on the RAMI to get an extra 2 rounds? I am thinking it may fit. You could use the spring from the 14 round mag and a grams follower and probably get 13 in the mag. let me know your thoguths or if anyone has tried this or something similar to get 12 in the mag. Thanks!

Frankly, I do not understand the need for extending already pretty large magazine capacity at the expense of the size. Does and extra round or two make that much of a difference ? Do statistics support a premise that gun battles where more than 10 rounds are fired by a CCW license holder are common ?

I have not tried that one. Mine came with standard 10 round and extended 14 round mags. What do you see as the advantage of buying the short base mag?

Mecenas, it is insurance. While 10 rounds should be good enough, you never know. Taking data from police shootings, the hit rate is less than 50%. In some cases as low as 20%. And that is with a full sized service weapon. A subcompact makes it even harder to get hits. What if there are two bad guys? 5 rounds per bad guy, cut that in half (at least). Maybe 2 rounds hit each...on a good day. Now what about the shot placement on those 2 rounds. Yes, 10 should be fine, but you never know.

I keep going back and forth between the RAMI and the P01. P01 has 14 rounds. But is much larger and more difficult to conceal. But I like having the extra rounds. The RAMI is easily concealable and the extra two rounds keep it more concealable than the P01. It does not add much at all. But with the base pad and the grams follower, I get almost the same round count as the P01 in a smaller form.

TNman, it increases round count by 2. Add the grams follower and it could be 13. 10 round mag could get almost the same round count as the 14 round mag but be easier to conceal. Smaller form factor but higher round count.

Why not a flush fit and an extra mag?

I just carry an extra 19 round mag in my pocket. If I ever needed more than thirty rounds I?m running.

Yes, I always carry an extra mag too. But it is better to have rounds in the gun than in your pocket. Reloads take time that you may not have.

I gotta say, if you figure out a way to fit more rounds into the 10 round mag, without increasing the length, or compromising reliable feed ability, I'd definitely be interested.
