New RAMI 2075 owner

[Casinostocks]

Hi everyone,

I am quite new to CZs but I am a DA/SA guy from my old Berettas. Had not been shooting for a looong time but recently got back to it again. Don't know if going with CZs was the right or the wrong thing but Beretta 92 was going to be too large and I don't like anything in their compact / subcompact line up! By and large, striker fire handguns, vis a vis, the Glocks / M&P Shields are just not for me (old fashioned & old timer) but no disrespect is meant for their fans. I guess I just like to jump into the deep end of things and then learn the hard way by spending $ which is the best education if you can afford it!!!

For reference, my other CZ is a P-01 for which I made another rookie themed thread in here:

https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=108955.0

For which I very much appreciate the responses I have already received.

I may still do the same kinda CGW upgrades to the RAMI as in the P-01 (trigger, floating pin & reduced power return spring) + Ultra Lite kit + Extended Firing Pin kit. Also, aware of feeding issues but I do tend to use higher quality ammo plus here in CA, no 14 round magz so no worries there. Also rodger that already said by giving it a good oil (Hopp's or mineral?) bath + clean. I like lots & lots of dry firing first with A-Zoom snap caps.

Lastly, I am not a consummate complainer and I come in peace

Welcome, I think the Rami is an excellent choice!!

[Casinostocks]

Thank you Earl.

Unfortunately the decocker version is not available to us here in CA as it is not on our DOJ's roster but the safety model is exactly like my old school Beretta 84B in almost the same size, albeit a bit wider but weighing a bit less. I shoot the 84B in .380 acp well and I'm used to the manual safett feature although I would've liked the RAMI to be in the same P-01 (decocker) platform. Ah well

I really like my RAMI-been a very reliable and accurate carry weapon.   After a good initial degreasing followed by a good lube job she has always ran like a top.

[Casinostocks]

Oldbear: Thanks for another vote of confidence. I currently have about $200 worth of upgrade kit and spare parts in my CGW cart despite the promise to myself to keep the RAMI stock. Ha! Anyway, can't go wrong with having parts if I want to be more serious than the occasional shooter and safe-queen admirer (I already suffer from that affliction with my fancy knives!). I know what will follow next above and over the aforementioned, fancier grips and night sight just like my P-01. Ugh, I'm a lunatic but feel that I'll fit just right in here

Congrats on your new purchase!

Thank you Yellowlab

The CA 10 days wait was over and done with earlier today and the RAMI is now comfortably at Home Right now, I'm looking at some LOK grips since my P-01 has LOKs. I will forego the TruDot night sights, I think! I am thinking the thick trigger from CGW as opposed to the "old style" which I had installed on my P-01 as the OS gave him fits but the thick one is currently out of stock at CGW. If anyone has had good/bad experiences with the thick one from CGW, please let me know. Also planning on changing the OE trigger return spring for a reduced power one plus putting in a floating pin. Lastly also ordering an Ultra-Lite kit and then will leave it at:

I did the same 3 things you listed without the ultra lite kit.  The thick trigger made a Huge difference for me.  In addition, I put on a set of XS Big Dot sights to replace the puny/tiny OE sights, which helped me greatly.  So, I would say they were the best things that happened to my Rami.  I also got a set of Cool Hand grips in Blue from Amazon.

CZ-USA had Rami grips on clearance recently, not sure if they still are. I bought a pair with texture very similar to LOK Bogies, but they had several other textures/colors available. Shipping is a little pricey, but if you buy some spare recoil springs etc it isn't so bad.

I've already ordered a set of LOK grips in their cross-check pattern for the RAMI which I should be receiving in a week or so. I have bought their grips before to put on my P-01 which I like, so I went back to LOK: made in USA + great feedbacks and reputation on multiple online site earned my attention.

The main spring replacement made some discernible difference in my P-01 although it did not smooth out that tiny bit of grittiness in the SA mode as the trigger is creeping past the wall to the break point (note: I am being very anal here because under normal or stressful shooting circumstances, a shooter will not remotely notice any of this trigger action snobbery!). I have been told to smooth out that tiny annoyance, I will have to change over the hammer and polish more internals, the sear, yada, yada... Not that crucial in my case!

I was holding out on changing the sights but I am afarid that these beady little OE ones are not going to work for me if I seriously should consider the RAMI as a main nightstand / CCW weapon, but then again my P-01 is already set up for that purpose. Oh heck, who am I fooling?! I know that I will be replacing them but can't do the sight replacement on my own (don't have the necessary tools / machine). I assume that this is the one which you went with?:

Thank you for the thumbs up on the Thick aka "combat" trigger but CGW is currently sold out Did you instal this trigger yourself?

Thanks Earl. I already went and ordered a set from LOK before I had a chance to read your post for the lead. I have also put a set of this in my CGW cart: 60001 RAMI Recoil Spring, but also came across a thread last night here that some people were going with a set for Kimber which reportedly also fits the RAMI with great success rates after some finagling!

Yes those are the sights I bought and put on myself.  I didn't install the trigger,etc as I have somewhat shaky hands and didn't trust myself with doing that.  There is a guy at my LGS/shooting range who owns some CZ's and he did the install for me for $10, so I lucked out.  This Rami will be the last gun that I buy as it carries so well for me and my Sig SP 2022 is a great range gun.

Nothing wrong with LOKs, all of my other CZ's wear Bogies. I haven't tried the Kimber springs yet, but plan to.

Love my little RAMI, but I also didn't like the stock Mepro's. Tried the Big Dot's and as much as I liked the Big front dot, I just couldn't get used to the "I" rear sight. I made a set of custom rear sights by modifying a set of big and bright CZ suppressor-ready rear sights from a SR P-09. Those worked pretty good, but I had an extra RMR kicking around and saw a video of CGW milling a RAMI for an RMR..........That was it!! 
Sent it to CGW for milling and a tall BUIS and so glad I did!
With the RMR that little RAMI shoots so accurately like a much longer sight radius pistol.
Just Say'in.  More than one way to skin a cat.

My P-01 scales are not the LOK Bogie pattern but they are thinner that the OEs (no palm swell). I just for got the name of the pattern  I may get a set of Bogies in black later on.



I've got to hit the sheaths threads to order a couple of sheaths, one for each.
