New RAMI Owner, some questions

[Old-Duckman]

Just got my RAMI last week, have not shot it yet. Got 3 questions.

1 - Heard it pronounced on the Web mainly as "Ram-E" less often as "Ray-Me". Is there a consensus on which is correct ?

2 - When loading the 10 round mag to capacity I get 8 rounds in and it is solid as a rock. Upon putting in #9 (sometimes happens) but always once 10 rounds are loaded...I can shake the mag gently and I hear rounds rattling around in there. Is this common or ? I am using a UpLula loader and pushing each round, not only down in the mag with it, but pushing them back against the back of the mag with the loaders steel tab as well.

3 - I know I can be opening a can of worms here but I really don't mean to. I lube all of my auto loading handguns with a very light coating of grease on the rails (EWG, Extreme Weapons Grease brand). I have only ever had issues using this on some .22 auto loaders, center fires no problem. Well the RAMI came from the factory rather heavily oiled.

I prefer the grease due to less fly off and what I believe to be better protection for metal to metal sliding surfaces. In the RAMI's case I feel it is all the more important due to steel sliding on aluminum.

I did read the manual (imagine that) and it says to use a light coat of oil and wipe off the excess. They surely didn't follow their own advice when it left the factory. Perhaps that is a "storage" type lube from the factory..?

Anyway, opinions would be appreciated.

Lastly I am not much on mods but I do think I will make some grips for it. They look fairly easy, look like scaled down 1911 grips. Plan on making them out of either Ebony (have a nice quantity of that from the past) but more interestingly (I think) is I am thinking of removing the stock grips, making plaster molds from them and casting pewter grips. Once cast, clean and sharpen up the checkering and then oxidize and lightly polish up some highlights...I say this as I'm sittin' on my butt typing on the Net...but, neither should be that hard if I just get down to the shop and get started.

Thanks for reading and I am glad to be a RAMI owner (have wanted one for a couple of years now).

a lot of double stack 9mm will rattle when full because 9mm is a tapered case and it has to transition from 2-wide to single stack

I have always used CLP on mine. The oil or grease that comes on the pistol is a protectant and not a lubricant.

My 10 round magazine also rattles, sometimes tapping can alleviate the rattle. As far as lubrication is concerned I use grease (Lubriplate from NAPA) on all sliding parts. My RAMI came liberally coated with  the equivalent of Cosmoline and needed a really good clean before first use.

To answer your first question, name RAMI comes from the first two letters of the first names of its inventors - Radek Hauerland and Milan Trkulja, therefore it should be pronounced "RAM- E"

If you change your magazine spring to Wolff spring (for compact 75) - rattle will disappear, besides, both magazines (10 and 14 rounder) really need stronger springs that Wolff provides.
