The over hanging pinky problem was solved for me by going to a place that rhymes with b-way, some sort of auction site. A few years ago there was a person who was taking XD9 pinky mag plates and shaping them for the Rami. Still same 10 rounds but your pinkiy is happy now.
Thought it was steel slide with alloy frame , but still a fine firearm you are blessed to own it , I have bd model with same cajin rmsc cut and trigger job . Sweet
@@a2ztacticalacademy I have the cz rami 75 safety first, and only gun for now got it in the pandemic. My question is do you think it’ll bring the value down getting in optic, but selling it later? Not that I want to sell it but for the right price I would. Mines was never fired by the way I’m getting a g19 here in California in 10 days or so but I would like a sig 226
Any firearm that is modified (like mine is, cut and machined to hold an optic) will have a smaller potential market if you want to sell it. you will also likely not get the full value of it. The Rami was not designed to hold an optic from factory so sending it to the gunsmith to get it cut will cost you around $300 (for reputable machine work). To that you add the cost of the optic (around $300 for a holosum, $600 or so for a Trijicon RMR). you will likely not be able to sell it without the optic once it's been modified as it will need the optic to hold the internal springs. so you'll lose the cost of the optic and work. unless you find a buyer that was thinking of getting all that done and wants to buy it already modified. if you've never fired it and are planning on selling it to get a glock or sig then I would recommend leaving it in a "as new" condition and selling it as is.
@@a2ztacticalacademy i have the decocker model. I was able to get a pretty solid kydex IWB holster from Vedder holsters for it. What size Holosun are you using 507c or 507k?
Mine has the HE507C model. Unfortunately the newer much smaller holosuns were not out when i machined my slide so this one is almost too big for the Rami.
I love my Rami, it shoots better than any other gun I have including a Dan Wesson. I think it's the way it fits my hand even with my pinky dangling. I've never had a misfire or failure to feed. Cajun Gun Works is definitely the place to go for parts.
This was the one CZ I never cared for and now I understand why the cz40 never took off. It's just a little bit too thick and chunky for what CZ is capable of. The thing that killed it for me was the extended mag would basically pinch the s*** out of my hand. If you want a compact CZ I say get a p10m, if you want bigger I highly recommend a p01 or pcr. Unfortunately those are also discontinued but CZ says this all the time and then continues production for like four or five more years. These certainly aren't on the market as much as they used to be but I don't ever remember them being all that popular to begin with. If it was about a quarter inch thinner and just a little bit better magazine design it would have checked all the boxes.
Respectfully disagree, I've owned as an EDC gun for years. Also the owner of the most popular gun range in my city (of like 1 million ppl) uses this same gun as EDC and has done so for longer than me. Neither of us have put a red dot on it though, haha. Heavy duty, double stack, minimal recoil, excellent accuracy...I have never had a single problem. Not one!
@@markmt1070 no offense brother but owning a gun store doesn't make you an operator or a weapons expert. Quite the contrary as a matter of fact. I worked in three different gun stores and two pawn shops in my lifetime and of all those places only one of the owners was even nearly coherent with firearms. The rest of them were there for business. I'm not saying your guys one of those people but I'm saying that he might as well be the same as the next regular joe. He has the CZ Rami and he likes it that's great but it doesn't change the fact that in my personal opinion it's way too thick and it certainly doesn't change the fact that statistically speaking it did not sell well and was discontinued. I'm glad you enjoyed the gun and as far as reliability is concerned they are bulletproof but I simply didn't enjoy mine for the same reasons that most others didn't enjoy it either.
I had one and really liked it! Shot great and love the bd decocker model, only complaint I have is it’s a beefy little guy and it’s not very comfortable to have IWB
It is.. but i have big hands, and the fit for me was perfect. I did carry that appendix iwb for about 5 years before going to a full size. Honestly i think the comfort is in the holster
Wish I could find a rami. I edc a 75d pcr. Milled for rmr with buis plate from primary machine. Burnt bronze cerakote, custom Vytal grips in patina copper/ color case, copper guide rod, CGW internals. My favorite pistol.
@@thorshammer5134 if you look at a stock PCR it's a beautiful flowing line. Like a Lambo. A flawless performer. Built on one of the most perfect platforms of all time. You've done the equivalent of sticking a giant Honda wing on it. Then you put a bunch of decals, dropped it down an inch off the ground, canted the wheels and said "those engineers really didn't know what they were doing. It's perfect now."

And then your gun and put them head-to-head in a competition with shooters at a range any day and we could see the results for ourselves. All that money and ugliness but nothing was achieved. If you feel better about the gun that's great, but you have not improved it like you think. I tell people at my shooting course who show up with Gucci guns all the time did you ever practice on the gun before you added this stuff? Did you get to know the core weapon? Did you then add these items on the gun one at a time and test them vigorously each on their own? They never do. Also, those guns never make it through classes without having to be gutted out and replaced with OEM parts. Never forget no amount of gear or money makes up for physical fitness and basic necessities like water and food. Maybe now you should practice and stop adding stuff to it? Do you have a tourniquet on your ankle everyday? What about a first aid kit? I feel like some guys get so focused on the gun they forget about a lot of other stuff that goes with being a gun carrier. My apologies that's just why when I see Gucci gang builds I get a little rude. I didn't mean to be a dick with my comment. Maybe you didn't necessarily butcher the gun, but you basically took its reliability and threw it up in the air and the aesthetic looks have been ruined for sure. If you can run a gun like that great but make sure you get lots of practice with it and I don't mean a box of ammo at the range once a week. You need to both put serious rounds down that gun and train with it physically. Don't just be a couch potato UA-cam engineer.
@@hankwilliams-hx9ww I shoot pistols just fine dot or not. I’m not talking about short distance at competitions either. I’m talking about 100+ yards.

The only place I know will machine a rami slide is Cajun gun works. I had to mail them my slide and red dot, and they did amazing work. It took about a month.
I don't know. I would imagine because the market changed to polymer options with front rails and optic cuts, plus a machined metal pistol will always be more expensive to manufacture. But i wish they hadn't. Thx for commenting
@@a2ztacticalacademyFTF is always caused by a weak recoil spring or week magazine spring in my opinion. He was probably running a 20-year-old CZ 75 magazine or something. Bullets over 147 grain can also do this.
Brother I'm glad you like your gun but I'm done arguing with you if you're going to delete your comments and then act like you never mentioned that word.
Yes. because it makes a lot of sense to only have 10 rounds to the sake of safety. The 14 rounders allow a full firing grip (as you saw in the video) it is unfortunate they don't make a reduced capacity magazine with the extended plate for the RAMI for states with silly restrictions (like the ones they make for full size glocks where the magazine is a full length but limited to only 10 rounds)
Honestly, I'm partial to the holosun 407k. You get multiple reticle options, you have an option for red or green dot, you got a side battery compartment, and you have a better price. I know people swear by the rmr, but i think the fact that you have to remove the sight from the gun to change the battery is my number 1 reason not to go with it, the other features are just pluses
@Al Ismyname I know you'll be really happy with the Dot on a Rami. That pistol is super accurate and, with the reflex sight, brought back to modern days
Hello, I have a problem with my Cz Rami. When I insert the 14-capacity magazine, it makes a loading error in the 3rd or 5th rounds. However, I have no problems with the 10 magazine. I fired about 1500 rounds. I changed the recoil spring. What do you recommend?
@@a2ztacticalacademy Yes, when I researched, I found that the recoil spring needs to be replaced in most of the comments. With the DPM recoil spring set, there is no problem for now. However, this new spring system slows down the weapon installation speed.
@@mehmeteminkavakloglu5114 interesting...i have well over 10,000 rounds in mine and I've not changed any springs. Honestly I've never heard the recoil spring need to be changed at that low round count you have. Don't know why you're having that issue but i would take it to a CZ armorer to check if i were you.
You need to get wolf magazine spring for a compact. +5 or + 10 % strength. Will solve your problems your having. I would not start changing stuff. Good luck
When mine was new, it had failures to feed almost 50% of the time. Even with multiple types of ammo. Some oil on the feed ramp has helped a lot. I'd have to shoot it a lot more to ever trust as a CCW...
The advantage of the 75 compact versus the Rami is that there may be more options for holsters than the Rami. Magazines all fit the same so you wouldn't lose there and mechanisms are so similar that there's virtually no functional difference between the two
I always wanted a rami but cz horrible business model could never find one. So I settled on best da/sa alternative beretta px4 storm sub compact. The beretta is far easier to find, and easy find spare mags and can get larger models compact and full size that share mags unlike cz rami. The px4 line is beyond reliable and has a longer production run and still made unlike the cz rami.
Thanks for your comment. The px4 is a great subcompact. The Rami were very hard to find. But it was because they were all imported and in low numbers. I still have mine and runs super reliably but nowadays i prefer a larger gun for edc.
Another big problem with adding red dot cuts onto a gun is a can affect reliability especially slide movement speed under firing. Any company will cut any gun without question because they aren't putting in the engineering to see if it's a good idea. It's basically just plug and play and good luck. I have heard many many stories especially with shorter guns of people cutting them for optics when they were never designed to do so and they immediately destroy the guns reliability. Now they have to go do spring changes and all kinds of other things. If you want a gun for a red dot buy one built for a red dot. This is the equivalent of getting a new car and then cutting off the roof because you wanted a convertible.
Thanks for the info! I have a full sized 75 and a p-01, im glad to know the mags will work for the range.
Nice to see a great pistol get some love! My EDC and favorite carry pistol ever. Excellent shooter.
I've impressed several people shooting steel at 100 yrds with the rami. It is a very accurate pistol. Definitely a reliable favorite of mine
