CZ RAMI vs G26

[Guest FiddleDog]

I'm still searching for a good EDC. I'm pretty much narrowed down to the CZ RAMI or the G26. I'm pretty proficient with a G19 so the trigger pull and ergs of the 26 would be familiar. I've always preferred hammer to striker. The trigger on the Glock does make me nervous to carry it chambered but I've been told that I'll gain confidence with time. I've never heard of CZ-butt.

Both have a standard 10 cap. RAMI is metal, G26 is poly.

Anyone have experience with either or both? I now have some money burning a hole in my pocket, and it will be the last gun purchase I make for a little while, as I'll be turning my attention to a new house (yay!).

I really like CZ's, and while the 26 is a solid gun, I just really like CZ's and their all metal frames, and the Rami just looks great and feels better in my hand than the G26. (I've never fired a Rami though)

I don't think you can go wrong with either, but if I had the money and those two were my options, I'd go with the CZ.

It’s not confidence it’s complacency. If you don’t trust a weapon with a round chambered; don’t buy it.

[Guest FiddleDog]

I trust the weapon. I'm just not sure if I trust myself.

train until you do.

I pretty sure the CZ Rami is availible in a poly frame. Check their website!

[Guest FiddleDog]

I've got a line on a metal one, with less than a 100 round shot count for $500 OTD. looks like a pretty sweet deal.

For that price, you should get it.

+1 and an Amen here. The gun will not be the problem. It will be the operator. Go to some of the more "advanced" classes where you'll become adjusted to the mindset of chambered.

Got a G26 myself. No complaints really other than it's just a little tough to hit the X at 15 yards. But that could be said for just about anything that small, or maybe it's 'cause I shoot like CR_P!

Also check out the Walther P99. A very good carry weapon, and acurrate.

+1. CZ wins hands down...just my

I handled a RAMI a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was closer in size to a Glock 19 rather than the 26. I could get all my fingers around the grip, as opposed to 2 fingers on the Glock 26.

I was always disdainful of CZ's, but after getting a P07, I have to say that my mind has changed. They are quality firearms. I would get the RAMI, personally.

Edit: After doing a little online research, I may have been mistaken about the RAMI. I may be confusing it and a CZ75 in .40sw I also handled.

I really like the RAMI a lot. Great shooting gun. The only dislike I have for it is it's thickness, but I'm a single-stack guy myself.

[Guest FiddleDog]

I'm not a fan of it only having a 5 year warranty, though...

15yrds will come with practice. It's not that hard really. Take your time. There's people who can use a G26 or G27 at 30yrds with consitency. Just takes time and practice....

Glock 26.

CZ's are awsome no doubt. Not good/comfortable for me to carry but might be good for you. Doesn't hurt to check'em both out if ya can.

[Guest mn32768]

I'm partial to CZs -- having said that, the G26 is a lot more compact than the RAMI. My wife tried both and she had a hard time reaching the trigger comfortably in the RAMI due to the double-stack grip.

[Guest JHatmaker]

But you're getting it used, is their warranty even transferable?

[Guest FiddleDog]

I guess I just assumed so...It may be a moot issue...

Glock 26 and my opinion why.....

- reliability

- aftermarket support (parts, holsters, etc...)

- finish (the glock finish is superior and will need less TLC then the CZ)

- warranty

I saw on Gunbroker that Phil at Bellshire Hardware in Nashville had a brand new g26 for under $500 bones.

[Guest Ben]

Both firearms are top quality. I own and carry only a CZ (P01) so I am biased and Glocks do not fit my hand.

The best way to settle this is for you to find the one that fits your hand the best. You truly cannot go wrong with either if both fit your hand properly.

[Guest FiddleDog]

I ended up going with a G26, mainly because of the warranty support. I'll just have to stay vigilant with the lack of manual safety.
