So since picking up my first CZ last year (CZ P10C) and seeing my buddies 1990 CZ 75 preB no import markings, I have sorta of wanted more and more of them (I now have 10)
So when I see what I think is a good deal on one I pick it up, especially if I think it is 'rare/quirky/discontinued' - like a polymer RAMI in 40. I didn't pick this up for a carry gun - this guy will be a range toy every once in awhile.
I cleaned it up and took it to the range - I shot 100rds of 165gr Federal Syntech trouble free. I didn't try any self defense ammo on it. It actually shot pretty nice for a subcompact 40S&W, the magazine extension helps this a lot because I can get my full hand around it. The owner before me must of shot it a lot, because it has a really trigger in both DA and SA - I'm know trigger expert but it feels good. (even by buddy who shot it thought it had a nice trigger)
I do see the slightest 'bulge' on the right side of frame I am guessing from the Slide Stop Spring (#3 on RAMI diagram
https://shop.cz-usa.com/czpartslists/czrami.pdf) - Mine is very minor but once you know to look for it you can see it is slightly bulged compared to the opposite side of the frame.
Ya I didn't know about the possible bulge on RAMI P until after picking it up. If I would of read that before seeing it I probably would of skipped buying it, but I am glad I picked it up. I only paid $325.00 for it - original Blue CZ box, test target, Certificate of guarantee
, 2 mags, manual, cleaning rods. I did register it on the CZ website
IF I ever have any problems with it, I will see if they will help me out - I understand it is out of warranty and I bought it used. I'm willing to pay for an alloy frame if it ever gets to that point. But honestly I think this RAMI will be a keeper like it is.
I will probably only put 500-1000 rds of ammo through this guy a year (may sound like a lot but I shoot every weekend and some Thursdays for league stuff - usually 500rds each time depending on what or how many I bring) - I don't shoot a lot of 40 S&W - even though this is my 2nd CZ in 40 (P-09 but I put a KADET on it, and most of time it will be wearing that). I plan to start reloading this winter so maybe that will change.
