As concealed carry powerhouses go, it doesn’t get much better than the CZ 25 Rami. One of my good buddies owns one and I had an opportunity to play with it. I was impressed. On the plus side, it is an all-metal gun with a flat black finish, a hammer (greatly preferred by yours truly over a striker-fired pistol), great sights, and a marvelous trigger. My bud had a trigger job on his, and it was awesome (light and crisp, with zero creep, just like it should be).
The three-dot sights on the CZ are crisp and non-gimmicky. There’s no glow-in-the-dark nonsense and they stand out. In the photo below, the sight picture is just the opposite of what it’s supposed to be (you want the front sight to be in sharp focus, and the rear sight to be a bit fuzzy, but I couldn’t get my iPhone camera to cooperate when I shot these photos).
I liked the feel of the CZ. I didn’t get to fire it, but I think I might have an opportunity at some point. The one you see here is chambered in 9mm. The Rami was also available in .40 S&W, which I think might be a bit much for a gun this small.
The Rami was discontinued in 202o with the introduction of newer CZ models. I haven’t seen the new handguns, but I can’t see how they can be any better than the CZ 2075. This pistol just feels right.

Is this the same CZ that made motorcycles?
Joe, I think so. You might post the question on Facebook. You’ll get lots of answers…some might even be true.
There are a lot of car and motorcycle manufacturers who built armaments. BSA and Royal Enfield come to mind. Harley built munitions components. BMW built products for the Nazi war machine (besides motorcycles). General Motors and Chrysler built tanks. Ford built B-24s.
Joe — I checked and this handgun is certified for sale in California. Good start, but do the dealers have them in stock?
Marty, I believe that model has been discontinued. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a gun shop, so I don’t know if any of them have it in stock.
