Rami deocker vs safety

[Atl_Matt]

The Rami is on my list as a smaller EDC option for me. My all- steel Compact is currently my carry gun but it can be a bit heavy and large at times. All my other CZ pistols (CZC 75 Shadow, P01, CGW 97 BE) are all safety models and my natural inclination is to favor a similar manual of arms.

That said, lots of love on this forum for the decocker Rami.  Interested in what I need to know about the decocker before I jump. Either one is going to Cajun for their defensive carry package and maybe the Copperhead treatment to match the 97 ;-). Thanks. Matt

Maybe some love for the decocker version because of the tritium sights (not me).  If you like DA for carry, both versions support it.  If you are comfortable manually decocking, then it boils down to tritium sights.  I bought the safety version and once I've shaken it out for reliability will carry DA.  I find the safety sometimes useful at the range.  I like that the safety can't be engaged when decocked.

I dont object to decockers (love my PCR and Berettas) but I don't need one.  YMMV

You have to make the desission weather to put the hammer down with a deckocker or a thumb. That's why CZ sells both.

^^^ All of the above. In my case I chose the first Rami I could find. Turned out to be a BD. No issues manually lowering hammer here, but since then all I've gotten are BD's. I too like a similar manual of arms.

I prefer the safety version of the CZ's but in order to get a PCR, I had to get the decocker version as that is all that was produced at the time.  No matter, it is a great pistol.  RAMI's seem to be hard to get, so I'd get the first aluminum framed one I came across.  The only reason I haven't bought one yet is that it doesn't seem much smaller than my PCR which also has the lightweight, aluminum alloy frame so lighter than the all steel Compacts.

In Kali-we can't get the Rami decocker--so thats what I have--my 75 is BD--so decocker--I like both equally as well--decocker may be a tad easier--on the ssafety Rami --just don't let the hammer slip

Many thanks for the responses guys. Two quick questions - someone mentioned finding an aluminum frame Rami - I'd assumed they were all aluminum - not true? I'm looking for a light weight carry pistol - I did the all steel P01 Compact and while it's great - that weight takes some getting used to.

On the safety vs. BD option, on my Shadow and 97BE builds, there was some feedback from CZC and CGW that the trigger could be tuned a bit finer on the safety model (vs. the decocker) and I'm assuming that is true with the Rami as well. My bigger CZ's guns are strictly range and competition and are in the mid 2 pound range (SA) - my carry guns aren't as light but I really like a short, crisp trigger and find myself short stroking stock triggers all too often. That said, sounds like my biggest problem might just be finding one. Thanks again - Matt

There are polymer framed RAMI's out there.  I wouldn't touch one.

[Firemanjones]

There was a problem with the polymer RAMIs in which the frame bulged. Many owners sent them back to CZ and they were replaces with aluminum frame ones.

I went with decocker on my rami because i don't want the safety. I got my cz82s 1st and never use the safety, carry with hammer down/DA. I manually decock these no problem. A decocker is an unnecessary convenience, IMO.

Honestly, I'd love to have some CZs without safety or decocker.  But that's just me.

Totally with you there.  But then, I'd also like a single stack .40 version with a heal release too...

[Firemanjones]

If you do not want a decocker or safety wait for the new striker pistol.

[Ruber]

I know... lots of polymer striker options out there.

Be nice to have a metal framed, hammer fired, 75 derivative that is streamlined though.

Something like Sigs 224 dak, but CZ based.

Not sure if this will help.....came across this thread on the forum talking about "decocker vs safety" preference and reasons why.
