How smooth can you really make a RAMI BD factory trigger?

[KarateHottie93]

Obviously I love this RAMI...I've only posted about it at least 20 times. With that said, the double action trigger pull had some pretty bad creep at first. It still does to an extent. Right past midway through the pull, it reaches a part where it drags excessively. If you add just the tiniest bit more pressure than necessary to get through it, it skips you back to the wall. Then a clean break. I can replicate this 9/10 times.

The other 1/10 is split between two scenarios. One is where I pull through that drag just slightly too fast and then it jumps me past the breaking point. The most uncommon scenario is where I don't pull through that drag fast enough and it feels like gears slowly grinding away...and then I get to the wall for a nice clean break.

I get it's not a revolver and I shouldn't be treating it as such, but I'm a revolver guy and this is just different to me. I'm used to staging a double action pull with absolute consistency. Even if the trigger is terrible, I've never had an issue with figuring it out and getting it to break clean pretty much every time.

This trigger is great when I just pull right through the whole thing instead of trying to stage though. You can't even really notice the grinding then. It's like pulling a rip cord.

The dragging feeling just drives me crazy though. Besides actual shooting, I've dry fired it (with an o ring) at least 5000 times now and it's still only gotten marginally less noticeable.

I wanted to keep it all factory is the only thing. Really don't even want to do any polishing. I should have worded it better but I'm mainly wondering if this is about as good as I should expect from firing and dry firing alone?

I know part of it is just the action, as there's a lot to work with between the decocker and firing pin block...on top of a double action pull.

I see that you are wanting to keep it all stock, so that will limit how good the action can be. From your description, it sounds like you may have an unusually rough factory trigger, though. However good the factory trigger might happen to be, the Cajun Gun Works kits like WVsig linked take them from decent to awesome. After installing my first one I can't NOT put those kits in my CZs. At the very least, you might consider trying their Ultra-Lite Kit https://cajungunworks.com/product/54493-rami-double-action-ultra-lite-kit/ and see what you think. Just that kit alone made a dramatic improvement in the 75- and 97-based guns I have tried it in. If you go to the Pro Kit that WVsig linked, it's yet another level up (or 3 levels ).

I appreciate you both. When I inevitably get a larger sized CZ, I will no doubt take all this advice and get a Cajun Gun Works kit. I just don't know that I wanna change something I plan to carry. At least not the trigger. Since posting, I've done at least 1000 more dry fires, just that I've counted. It's finally starting to feel incredibly consistent. Some slight drag still appears occasionally but it's much less frequent.

If you are not willing to update the trigger with a CGW kit then the only option is to polish and smooth out the factory parts. They are notoriously rough from the factory and typically need substantial buffing and polishing to clean up the rough "stamped out" edges on the parts. A lot of people worry about modifying the factory triggers, but if you have to use it in a "self defense" situation, justified is justified and the fact that you improve a factory trigger in order to improve accuracy and reliability seems like good common sense. Why would you carry a trigger that you lack control over?

I'd take the rami completely apart, clean and simply look for any rough spots or spots that look rubbed, either polish those areas a little or just make sure there's no grit anywhere and lubricate it with a small amount of lube of your choice. That alone usually helps out a lot of guns while keeping them unmodified. If you've never had it totally apart you may be surprised how much crunchy stuff is in there from the factory.
