Rami vs Glock 26 and xd mod 2?

[Purekoryo]

Hello folks!

I currently own an xd mod 2 subcompact and have owned a Glock 27. I am considering going to a rami for another EDC. Anyone have experiences amongst these choices? Recoil? Reliability etc?

would love to know that too

Having owned all three of them between the RAMI BD, Glock 26, and XD Mod 2 Subcompact, I'm partial to the RAMI, then the XD, and finally the Glock.

Yes, the RAMI is a little chunky in the grip,  but it fits my hand better and is more of a natural pointer. The alloy frame and extra weight that it carries also seems to soak up a little bit more of the recoil (not like a 9mm has much anyway).

The XD seems chunky in the slide area to me because of the slide's height, but I do like the way it feels in my hand, though I really don't care for the grip safety design.

The Glock 26 is my least favorite of the three, and that is because without major grip modification work it just does not fit my hand well, especially when drawing and presenting from the holster (that goes for the 19 and 17 also). Can't say anything negatively about the accuracy or reliability on it, or the other two as well.

All of them digested whatever ammo I fed/feed them, and they all disappear worn IWB, even with magazines from their respective big brothers with a grip sleeve. I will also give a nod to the CZ because the BD model comes from the factory with Meprolights. Of course the RAMI is DA/SA, unless you get the traditional model with the thumb safety allowing cocked and locked carry, if that is your preference.

Just remember if you choose to go with a double action first trigger pull you're going to have a long 10# pull, followed by a short 4 to 5# SA pull. Not knowing whether you have prior experience dealing with that trigger system or not, if you don't it can be a little bit of an adjustment coming from a striker fire system with the same trigger pull for every shot. Just takes a little bit of practice if you're not familiar or versed in it.

I will have agree with Cyanide. My XDS- felt top heavy but was an accurate shooter. The CZ RAMI BD is about as heavy as the XDS but feels better in my hand. I am still getting used to the DA/SA trigger. Long pull then a short quick reset.

I rented a Glock 26 several times and my hand did not fit right under the trigger guard. Very happy with the CZ.

Typo. Meant my XD- Mod 2. Even though I have an XDS-45 and it is a regular carry for me.

Thank you very much for a thorough feedback on those guns. Will definitely try to find one at the range to try out, the rami that is.

When I close my eyes and raise my Glock 26 to level shooting position, it is pointing up at 20 degrees. I don't like it.  My Rami is pointing at the target instinctively.

I too had an xds .45, but what a hand full! Pretty darn accurate but the recoil especially with multiple follow up shots!

As Cyanide pointed out the RAMI BD has the DA first pull which I like since I do not like safeties. The DA is sort of a safety, the striker fired pistols I feel are too much of a light pull in case the finger or something catches the trigger...just my opinion. If you like a safety CZ make them also.

Ever consider a Walther PPS M2?  I know it is not on your list, but you might find value in giving it a try or at least holding it.

If I didn't already have a RAMI or PCR ... I would probably have a PPS.  Hell ... I might just get one anyway.

I do have a PPS M2 and for a single stack striker fired pistol it is very good. I alternate between the RAMI and the Walther.

I did handle a PPQ and can't get enough of that trigger!  Bought a Sig P320 instead due to appearance preferences; albeit, the trigger was a tad bit better on the PPQ.  Never tried the PPS. Will give that one a try.
