I've come to believe that the CZ 2075 RAMI BD with 14 round extended magazine is, simply, the best-feeling pistol on the planet, and not without good reason.
The Colt 1911 was developed as a single stack, with grip ovality optimized for comfort in light of the fact of one's metacarpals being adjacent the grip, without compromise with regard to double stack "packaging constraints." The RAMI's "externals" have the 1911 as heritage, via the Colt-CZ joint venture that produced the CZ.40B, whose "Ugly Duckling" (compared to most CZ's with their sculpted chamfer all around/above the trigger) looks are unmistakeable in the RAMI

Their flatter sides don't fill the metacarpal "trough" as well, so don't feel as right and thus also don't have the lateral grippability of say, the CZ 75 series which (although having a slightly lower length to width aspect ratio section than the RAMI) "feels" like its otherwise best-in-class grip has an unnatural bulge out in front, perhaps because the grip's camber peaks are a bit too rearward. The CZ 75 series somehow just doesn't feel as smoothly (or largely?) radiused in front as does the RAMI.
And the CZ-classic checkered rubber grips do provide traction and tactile comfort unmatched by any other material. It is an "ontological certitude" (thanks, Rush) that there has to be
a best-feeling pistol of all, period, despite (or taking into account) hand size differences, etc. Not to say best for
everybody: the Sig P365 will be better for folks with smallish hands for instance, but best for
the greatest number of shooters.
I've spent enough time in gun shops to be convinced that the extended mag version of the CZ RAMI BD (with its "safe" strong thumb registry area forward of the decocker) is indeed that pistol. And it can be carried with absolute tucked shirt invisibility!

owners of the incomparable CZ 2075 RAMI BD with 14 round extended magazine to
Reply if they concur that for simple fit to the hand, or "feel," or "feels right" ergonomics, none of their other pistols, or any other pistol they've handled for that matter, can compare.
This characteristic is
not the same as "balance," or "weight," or other such basis for favoritism, and is likewise independent of such favorable factors as night sights, "real gun" DA/SA functionality, etc.
Also invited;
owners of the incomparable CZ 2075 RAMI BD with 14 round extended magazine who have identified ergonomically superior pistols, if you can discern and communicate your reasons for believing said superiority.
