The CZ 2075 RAMI is a semi-automatic pistol made by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZUB) in the Czech Republic. It features a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction or optional Polyframe, and a hammer forged floating barrel. The gun's name, RAMI, is derived from combining the first two letters of the designers' given names, Radek Hauerland and Milan Trkulja.[1]
Design
The RAMI's design is similiar to the CZ 75, however the size has been reduced making it an ideal concealed carry piece for those who find the CZ 75, or similar handguns, too bulky. The RAMI is available in both 9 mm and .40 S&W calibers. Depending on caliber, the ammunition capacity of the magazine will vary from 10+1 (10 in the magazine and one round in the chamber) with the 9 mm version, or 8+1 with the .40 S&W version.[2]
The action is a selectable double or single action design. The 2075 RAMI also features full length slide grooves, which minimize play in the action, increasing accuracy.[1] Once the last cartridge is discharged from the pistol, the slide locks back in the open position.
The RAMI is also designed to be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. To do this, the slide stop is pushed out, and the slide is pulled foward off the pistol frame. This allows the action to be further dismantled including the barrel, recoil spring, and trigger components. Further tear down (e.g. firing pin cleaning) should only be performed by a competent gunsmith.[3]
Variants
The CZ 2075 RAMI is produced in two variants; a steel frame model, meaning the "body" of the pistol below the slide is metal, and a polyframe design. The polyframe consists of a metal slide and a polymer reciever. The steel model has the advantage of increased ruggedness, customizable grips, and increased weight which helps absorb recoil[4]. The polyframe design offers corrosion resistant polymer and lighter weight. Both variants are available in either the 9mm or .40 S&W caliber. The 9mm version can utilize an extended magazine, increasing ammunition capacity to 14+1.
Safety features
Most firearms, including the CZ 2075 RAMI, offer safety features which helps minimize the chance of accidental discharge.
The CZ 2075 features a trigger guard located around the trigger. Its main purpose is to prevent unintentionally pulling the trigger and discharging the weapon. There is also an inertia pin safety that prevents the firing pin from protruding through the pin hole and making contact with the back of the cartridge case in the event the pistol is dropped.
The safety is a lever that can be flipped up to the "safe" position, which blocks the trigger from releasing the hammer, thus preventing the weapon from discharging. Upon switching the lever back to the "fire" position, a red dot is noticeable, indicating the pistol is ready to be fired. There also is a safety stop on the hammer mechanism. This is a catch between uncocked and full-cocked position designed to keep the hammer from striking the firing pin during the event the thumb should slip off the hammer prematurely during cocking. Pulling the trigger disables this safety, allowing the pistol to discharge.[5]
Sights
The CZ 2085 RAMI uses combat sights (sometimes referred to as "three-dot sights"). Both front and rear sight dots on the RAMI have tritium inserts for better visibility in low light conditions.[1]
