in your opinion,what is a better pistol,the Glock 23 or the CZ Rami .40?

Question

both are .40 cal pistols

Answer 1

It depends on what you're looking for. Both will produce identical performance using factory ammunition. The G23 will have much higher ammunition capacity. (13+1 rounds, normally, 14+1 rounds if you use a grip extension. If you don't mind looking silly, it takes the G22/24/35 15 round mags. None of this matters, though, if you live in one of those states where 10 round mags are the law.) The G23 will also conceal easier, since it's a lightweight polymer-frame pistol. It will stand up to ridiculous amounts of abuse, and there are more aftermarket Glock accessories and customizations than you can shake a California Redwood at.

But, the Glock's recoil will be more disconcerting, since it weighs about as much fully loaded as the CZ 2075 does unloaded. The CZ 2075 has a safety lever (if you're one of those people who wakes up with nightmares about the Glock 'Safe-Action' trigger, but otherwise likes to carry your firearms in Condition 1.) Since it's a traditional DA/SA trigger, a competent gunsmith can give it a crisp, clean trigger pull, though reports suggest that the CZ 2075 has something like a 13 pound DA trigger pull, and that pull is too long for some shooters with smaller hands.

I've not yet shot the CZ 2075 RAMI, but I own a Glock 23, and have put enough rounds through it, that mine is on its second recoil spring. It shares carry, car, and nightstand time with my Ruger SP101 snub-nose, so I would trust my life with it.

Answer 2

.I hated Glock pistols for the usual reasons.They are made of "plastic",no safety,the trigger sucks and a host of others.Then I bought one.No safety?Just like a revolver,the safety is your trigger finger.KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE ! A plastic gun?Nearly all manufacturers are making polymer guns now and a few make frames from carbon fiber.They also make similar trigger systems as on the Glock pistols,but Glock has a patent on their system.The trigger is no worse than on my other pistols,and with exception of one pistol that I had a trigger job done on,the pull is not noticeably heavier.I own a Glock 23 and I can't say enough good things about it.Mine has night sights( I added them aftermarket)and I bought a .357 Sig barrel in the event I ever wanted to change calibers.It is an excellent choice for my self-defense needs and I'd buy another one today.
I don't have experience with the CZ pistols other than handling them at gun shows,but the safeties on the ones I've seen seem to be rather small and awkward to operate.That could be trouble should you need to use your pistol in defense.It is certainly not like the safety on a 1911 like some want to tell you.I know because I own a Para-Ordnance P-13-45 Limited.The triggers on the CZ's seem to be about average for a double action first shot auto.Personally,I think too many people have bought into the CZ myth created by Jeff Cooper.He likens the CZ pistols to a 1911 and that isn't the case at all.His opinion is no better than mine or vice versa,but I would go with a Glock 23.

(sigh) There is one of those in every question about glocks. They are made here in the US the last time I checked. At a plant in Georgia. And they have a very effective safety. They will not go off unless you pull the trigger. Period. Double action revolvers have been around for over a century, and they are widely regarded as very safe. And yet, when people talk about the glock, which has basically the same general type of trigger set up, suddenly they are terribly unsafe. You have a gun that will shoot when the trigger is pulled. How awful... It makes no sense, but you will always run into people who want more things on guns, even if they don't really need them. Any of the full sized or compact versions of the various makes of glocks make fine carry weapons. The subcompacts are a bit small for duty guns, but are good for CCW stuff, or as a lighter gun to take hiking. The 23 is a good choice. .40 S&W is a very good cartridge. It is more expensive than 9mm, but packs more of a punch. Before you go get one though, go try them out. The other poster may have had imaginary issues with the safety, but he was dead on about people not always liking them Either they fit your hand, or it feels like you are trying to hold a brick. And it isn't always a matter of how big your hand is. Go find a range where you can try them out. And look at the Springfield XD, the S&W M&P40, and the new polymer framed Ruger. In terms of quality and function, they are all about the same. The Glocks and XDs have more aftermarket do-dads you can get, but the other two will catch up eventually. The magazine capacity is about the same for all of them in the same caliber. It really all comes down to how it fits your hand. Figure out which one fits you best, and go with that. Good luck. p.s. one other thing. I know many people HATE them, but you could also look at the S&W Sigma. It is about 1/2 the price of the others because the older pistols were garbage. They have since been fixed up, but they are still seen as a second-rate glock wannabe. If you can find a new one on sale in the caliber you want for around $350, it might be worth looking into.

Answer 4

I own 3 Glocks, a 20, 23, and a 29, and I would not carry anything else. While I like my Glock 23, the 20 is my favorite. Before you buy the 23, look into the 10mm. All of the Glocks are unbeatable for dependability, but I like the 10mm because it's about power, pure power.

Answer 5

It depends on what you want. Glock 23 has a higher ammo capacity and is also lighter than the CZ Rami .40. But the CZ Rami .40 does look better than the Glock 23 though.

Answer 6

Nothing wrong with the RAMI but I think Glock as the edge and I think the price reflects that. Neither would be my first pick but its mostly a matter of personal preference.

If possible, you should attempt to shoot each pistol side by side. Many ranges have guns you can rent. Many things about any firearm are subjective to the individual. I have very strong preferences about pistols but I understand that my choices are valid only for me and for the type of shooting I do and the intent of the role the gun is intended for.

Good luck

Answer 7

CZ pistols feel better in the hand and give you a single or double action option. There are loads of aftermarket performance parts avalible for CZ's as well. Thats not to say that Glocks don't feel comfortable enough, or that there are no Glock upgrades out there, But in on the range or in a defensive situation, The feel and pointability of a CZ surpasses a Glock in my opinion, and recoil recovery time With a CZ seems quicker as well. Reduced recovery time means increased hit probability. I vote CZ.

Answer 8

It depends on whether you want "paper or plastic" (metal frame vs. aluminum frame). The Glock is simpler to operate, but trigger in unconventional and bothers some. I had a Glock 22 and a CZ-75SA .40 caliber and between the two I liked the CZ better.

Answer 9

ill have to say the Glock 23

Answer 10

I'd pick a Glock G23 hands down, ask yourself this, what do most Governments and Law Enforcement agencies around the world use ? GLOCKS!
