Another New Rami Finds A Home

[Stojanovich]

Put this one in a 30-day layaway this afternoon while I had the chance.  I've been seeing a lot of Ramis in .40 but not many in 9mm and even fewer that have the thumb-safety rather than the de-cocker.  I had shot a friend's earlier this year and its accuracy, for such a small pistol, was just amazing.  I knew I had to have one even though I'm not a big fan of sub-compact pistols.  The Rami is different, though.  I don't think any CZ collection is complete without a Rami.  Plus, I'm hoping it's a gun I can finally get my wife to like - but hopefully not too much.

Congratulations on finding a RAMI you wanted. I found the opposite issue when  I was looking for one, the decocker model was much more difficult to find then the safety one.

Congrats. They are great little pistols.

Very nice!  Congrats! I like the thumb safety too.  I'd like to find a 9 to go along with my .40.

Thanks everyone!  Have you ever noticed that when you have your mind set on a particular CZ model and go to purchase it, it's never available?  LOL  I went thru that with my Matte Stainless 75B.  Saw it at my LGS.  Went to buy it the next day and it was already gone.  Same thing with the PCR.  I had to order it from a dealer on gunbroker.com.  Same thing with the 9mm Rami.  Saw it at one LGS, ended up purchasing at a different LGS because it was the only one they had and didn't know when they would be getting more.   I'm beginning to detect a pattern!  The only viable solution, I see, is to always maintain a reserve of $500-1000 designated just for CZ purchases and layaways at all times.  If you see one you want, don't walk away because it probably won't be there when you return to buy it.

Yes ... these CZs are definitely addictive.  Congrats on the RAMI.  You should definitely do the Pearce Springfield XD extension mod if you haven't already for your 10-round mag.

Why wife loves my RAMI (and the 75B, although it's too heavy to shoot for any extended period.)  She used it to qualify for her CCW a few weeks ago and now she wants one!

How is she at racking the slide;  any difficulty?  How many rounds do you have through the RAMI?

Whichever version you are looking for, you will always find more of the others (especially if you aren't looking for a .40). I almost bought a silver polycoat safety version since I couldn't find the BD locally.

That's a good point. ?

It took some time but once she tried gripping the slide with her palm and fingers and pushing the gun away rather than pulling the slide toward her it got easier.  Probably have 500-700 rds thtough it,

There are a lot of people out there that say they have trouble racking a slide and have never been taught how to do it as you just described Rainsong.

There are no Rami anywhere near me. I am resigned to gunbroker if I am ever going to find one.

My wife is also able to rack the slide on my RAMI using the method Rainsong mentions, but I worry about her using it as a carry pistol ... since having to do it under stress w/ potentially sweaty hands due to adrenaline and panic should be taken into consideration.  Training -- and more training -- is usually the answer ... but I see a Sig P238 or Ruger LCR in her near future.

I just wish mine were a little more enthusiastic but, I think she'll get there?  I can teach her the basics of safety and handling a pistol but, really teaching her how to shoot well and use a gun for self defense, I think would be like teaching her to drive a car. 

A new training center/shooting range opened about a year ago less than a mile from home.  While I think it's a little too focused on new shooters there's no denying it's a beautiful, state of the art facility and the best indoor range within a 50 mile radius.  Membership is a little pricey - $480 per year - but there are a lot of bennies: two free gun rentals per week (OMG you wouldn't believe the selection), unlimited range time, discount firearms, firearm FFL transfers, ammunition, accessories, training classes and two hours per week in their simulator lab.  Plus, they have training classes just for women.  I also understand the simulator uses modified Glocks with C02 cartridges to simulate recoil.  Sounds pretty cool!  I'm going to forward that one to Santa Claus for her!

Those are definitely nice firing range membership benefits for sure, Stojanovich.  Mine doesn't include discounted firearms or free FFL transfers, so you should seriously take advantage.
