CZ 2075 RAMI
Compact CZ 75 derivative for concealed carry.
The CZ 2075 RAMI is a semi-automatic pistol built by the Czech company Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZUB). Its name comes from the first two letters of the first names of its designers, Radek Hauerland and Milan Trkulja.
The polymer version of the CZ 2075 RAMI was taken out of production in 2011. The alloy-frame version was discontinued in .40 S&W in 2016, and in 9mm in 2020.
The RAMI is a scaled-down version of the CZ 75, made smaller to suit concealed carry for people who consider the CZ 75 or similar pistols too large. It can be fired in either double-action or single-action mode. Full-length slide grooves reduce play in the action and improve accuracy. A slide lock holds the chamber open after the last round is fired. Disassembly for cleaning is straightforward: the slide stop is pushed out, and the slide is pulled forward off the frame. Further disassembly—separating the barrel, recoil spring, and trigger components—is possible, but work on the firing pin should be left to a qualified gunsmith.
Factory combat sights, often called three-dot sights, come installed. Optional night sights with tritium inserts are available for low-light use.
Two variants were produced: an alloy-frame model and a polymer-frame model. The alloy version offers greater ruggedness, customizable grips, and extra weight to help absorb recoil. Both variants were offered in 9mm or .40 S&W.
Magazine capacity depends on caliber. The 9mm version holds either 10+1 or 14+1 rounds (10 or 14 in the magazine, plus one in the chamber). The .40 S&W version holds either 7+1 or 9+1 rounds. The 9mm model can use an extended magazine for 14+1 capacity. The RAMI also accepts all standard CZ 75 magazines, including the 18-round SP-01, 19-round SP-01, and ProMag 32-round magazines.
Safety features include an inertia pin safety, which prevents the firing pin from contacting a chambered cartridge if the pistol is dropped. The CZ 2075 BD model replaces the manual safety with a decocker, allowing the user to lower the hammer safely. The decocker mechanism includes a catch between the uncocked and fully cocked positions to keep the hammer from striking the firing pin if the thumb slips during cocking. Pulling the trigger disables this safety, allowing the pistol to fire.

Lore & Background
The name RAMI is derived from combining the first two letters of the designers' given names, Radek Hauerland and Milan Trkulja. The pistol is similar to the CZ 75 but reduced in size to create an ideal concealed carry firearm. The RAMI was produced in two variants: an alloy frame model and a polymer frame model. The polymer version was discontinued as of 2011, and the alloy frame version was discontinued in .40 S&W in 2016 and in 9mm in 2020.
The RAMI can be fired either double or single action. It features full-length slide grooves that minimize play in the action and increase overall accuracy. A slide lock holds the chamber open after the last round in the magazine has been fired. The pistol is quickly disassembled by pushing out the slide stop and pulling the slide forward off the frame; further disassembly should only be performed by a competent gunsmith.
The RAMI comes with factory-installed combat sights (three-dot sights). Night sights with tritium inserts are available for low-light conditions. The alloy frame model offers increased ruggedness, customizable grips, and added weight to help absorb recoil. Both variants accept standard CZ 75 magazines, including 18-round and 19-round SP-01 magazines and a ProMag 32-round magazine.
Reader's Guide
The CZ 2075 RAMI occupies a notable place as a compact concealed-carry pistol derived from the widely respected CZ 75 platform. Its design reduces the size of the CZ 75 while retaining the double-action/single-action trigger system and full-length slide grooves for accuracy. The RAMI was offered in both alloy and polymer frames, with the alloy version providing greater durability and recoil absorption. The pistol's safety features include an inertia pin safety to prevent discharge if dropped, and the BD variant replaces the manual safety with a decocker that includes a catch to prevent the hammer from striking the firing pin if the thumb slips during cocking. The RAMI was adopted by the Police of the Czech Republic. Its discontinuation in stages—polymer in 2011, .40 S&W alloy in 2016, and 9mm alloy in 2020—marks the end of a line that served as a compact alternative within the CZ 75 family.
