Got Me a New Toy! - Range Report!

#1

Post by RatMan »

It's a CZ RAMI 9mm. Picked it up yesterday but have not had a chance to shoot it yet. Hopefully next weekend...

It's a compact and, like the XDSC, it has a "two finger" grip with the pinky wrapped under the grip. I've been doing some checking and have found that the Pearce grip for the XD will work on this one with a bit of mods using a Dremel. I've got an extra one laying around so I'll be trying that out soon and will post some pics after I get it fitted. Anyway, here's a picture of my newest addition...

Will post a range report after I get to shoot it...

Please let me know how she does when shooting. I have a CZ-75 compact that runs like a top, and this looks like an interesting pistol for sure.

I just bought a CZ 75 Compact yesterday. Did you get a chance to shoot your CZ? If you have a recommendation for practice ammo and self-defence ammo, I would like to hear it. Thanks.

Can't wait for a range report.

I loved my CZ 75b and regret selling it. I believe CZ guns are some of the best deals going right now.

New toy answer

For some of you guys that get a little resistance to the "new toys" w/ the saying, "Little boys never grow up their toys just get more expensive." Reply!!! Little girls never grow up either, their doll houses just get more expensive. She did not NEED the last "New drapes" we bought & they were as much or more than my last arm purchase. The only thing that was wrong w/ them was they were faded. (holster wear???). A new couch equals a new carry piece. Both will allow you to sleep better. Their toys depreciate continually & wear out. Ours appreciate, break in & smooth out. If you think a little more will come to your mind. I have about 10 or 12 that I use when women start that. I am blessed. I don't need them w/ my wife. Hope all you guys have as good a wife as I do. She loves her loud toys (Sig 232) as much as she does her pretty toys. [/u]

Sorry for taking so long but....

Took it out tonight, but forgot to bring the target home. :( Had my grand daughter with me so I was a bit more interested in what she did then what I was doing. She's a hell of a good shot for being 15.

At 7 yards and rapid fire I was holding less than a 2 inch group.

At 3 yards, there wasn't much of the target left where I was aiming, just a big hole. :wink:

At 15 yards the group went up to about 3-4 inches standing, and about 2-3 inches sitting and the gun supported on a rest.

It's a SWEET shooter! I was using Winchester White Box 100 rd bulk packed ammo.

I would HIGHLY recommend this gun to anyone that's looking for a light all metal CCW for under $500. I would suggest getting the 14rd extended mag as it will help in supporting your pinky. The grip is about like the XDSC. It feels "right" and is very confortable. You can also use the Pearce Grip for the XD with some mods using a Dremel tool.

Here is a picture with the Pearce Grip Extension fitted to the 10rd factory mag.

Image

The trigger pull in DA it is long but smooth. It reminds me of a Sig 239. In SA mode, which is the way I will carry it, it breaks at about 4 lbs. and is extremley smooth and crisp. Not bad for a stock gun.

It also can be carried in the "half-cocked" postion like a 1911 and the pull is much shorter in this mode then the standard DA mode.

I would say that the only drawbacks on this model is it's relatively new so there is not much on the market in the way of holsters but I have it on good advise that the Wilson "Lo-Profile" for a G26 will work. Also, at this time there is no night sights for it. PT-Nightsights has a contract with CZ to produce them but they will not be on the market until after the 1st of the year. If you can live for the time being with those two things, this gun would make for a fine addition to any collection.

Thanks for the range report.

If I'm reading correctly, this is a DA/SA with a manual safety, that can be safely carried in Condition 1?

I'm not a big fan of 9mm, but I am impressed with the Czechs' gun-making abilities.

Correct.

I'm not either. I am a "1911" type of guy but this one is nice. They also make one in .40S&W but I have heard of a few feeding troubles with that one hence why I went for the 9mm... Besides, it's cheap to shoot! :)
