CZ RAMI or Glock 26?

[Dollar An Hour]

Which would you choose for primary carry and why?

Both feel good in my hand, with the CZ's alloy frame being heavier. Both are 10+1 with larger mags available.

How are you RAMI owners carrying yours? Cocked & locked? Since I don't practice frequently with SA Autos, I'd rather not have a safety to worry about in a SD situation. I'd carry the RAMI hammer down so the 1st shot is DA.

A lot of CZ's have a gritty DA trigger lately right out of the box, there's plenty of mention on the CZ forum about this, I guess CZ thinks it's OK to ship them that way.

It's cool that the RAMI can accept new grips to dress it up and personalize it.

The Glock is simpler and has a huge following, and is easier to find holsters and sights for. Maybe it'll have a little more muzzle flip being lighter.

Cruising Glock and CZ boards I find the G26 is a darling of nearly everyone that owns one, while the CZ doesn't seem to get as overwhelmingly positive feedback.

What else should I consider about these two pistols?

I chose the Glock 26 because of the variety of holster that are available; you'll be able to find one that works for you. The Glock is also lighter which make it easier to carry.

If you don't like the weight of the rami they make it in polymer too.

Having owned and shot both..

The G26 will be lighter and simple. For DA carry with the RAMI you will have to lower the hammer on a live round. This make some folks uneasy. I've never had a problem with it, but some folks do. I find C&L with the RAMI and a good holster to be ideal for.

RAMI triggers smooth out with use. I don't have any complaints with mine.
Typical CZ trigger..maybe a little better than the standard 75B.

I happen to shoot my RAMI and most CZs better than the Glocks, but not by a wide margin. as for reliability, both brands gobbled up everything I could put thru them as does the current G19.

I voted for the Glock, but only because I've been so happy carrying my Glock 23 and enjoy shooting my Glock 26. Though I can't say I've carried my 26 yet. The CZ probably wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Was looking at the RAMI at the gun show today. If I was in the market for another small CCW pistol I think I would pick it over the Glock. The reasons, it fits my hand much better, I've never found a Glock that felt good to me. Second I'm use to the CZ, I carry an 85C now, it has been 100% reliable for me, and accurate in the extream. Third, it gives you the option of carrying C&L or double action. While there are more people making aftermarket parts for Glocks, every think that you would need is avalible for the CZ, with several folks specializing in them. Oh, almost forgot, you can change grips on a CZ, there are many more aftermarket grips than for the Glock. This may not sound like much, but you can tailor your grip to you own liking.

Funny thing is the polymer model only saves < 2oz!

Did you know MecGar makes a 12 round flush fit mag for Kel-Tec for their P-11 pistols? They'll also accept 59 series S&W 14 rounders. I like the size/weight/capacity of the P-11. If you don't like the P-11 and are set on the Glock or CZ then go with the one that feels best to you.

26 for me. I handled the Rami, and it didn't feel good to me. Also, the safety is unusable to me as a lefty. Add the price of magazines, and the decision was easy. I love my 26, its been perfectly reliable (I mean 100%), light weight, hides easily, accurate, plentiful mags (up to 33rds), plenty of aftermarket and holsters, etc etc....

I voted for the G-26, simply cuz I've NEVER owned a Rami~! I
did own and CCW a G-27 (.40 S&W) for awhile, and enjoyed it very
much. It proved too be more accurate from the 15 yard line than
either my G-23 and SIG P229~!

Checked out the rammi, was a bit heavy and bulky... liked the way it felt in my hands and nice design...

G27 for me though, with pearce +1 pinky extension or the adapter to use a full size 13 round mag for owb side carry. Lighter, less bulky, no hammer, very durable finish, very reliable and accurate.

Can't say enough good things about my experience with the G27 .40, I will say the recoil is pretty snappy and takes some getting use to. Very accurate with it though and after a few hundred rounds it fast became my favorite ccw.

Will get some night sights shortly.
