Woe is me. I love my AR15, but can't settle on a good handgun. I really liked the grip on the CZ 75, so in my quest for a good CCW handgun, do any of you have experience with the RAMI or 75 Compact?

Open to other suggestions for CCW carry as well.

Thanks.

A P01 would probably be the best CZ option.

Walkure any reasons? Longer barrel? Better grip?

Thanks for responding.

I have a CZ75B and its a great handgun but a G19 would be the best CCW IMO.  If yo uHAD to have a CZ I would go for an P01.

I've never shot a RAMI, but picking them up at shows and shops, I didn't care for them much.

I have a 75 Compact, and I have a friend who has a Compact and a P-01. Either would be fine for CCW. IMO, between the two, I think it comes down to whether you'd rather be able to carry C&L or DA/SA. If you have the P-01, you'll be carrying with the hammer down. The 75 Compact lets you carry C&L or with the hammer down.

Differences in the dimensions between the two IMO are negligible, weight included. There are other small additions that you have with the P-01, but I don't think any of them are that substantial.

CZ 75 Compact

CZ 75 P-01

ETA: I personally usually carry my CZ 83.

CZ P01 would be my recommendation. Great accuracy and small enough to coneal very easily.

As already stated, they are comparable in size.

What tends toward the P01's side is a better reputation. The compact '75s aren't known for their reliability (*especially* with the .40 cal compact). However, the newer P01's share an equal reputation with the fullsize 75B's. Also, the P01 gives you the ability to rail-mount a weapon light; while not necessarily something for CCW, it would allow you to keep the same piece for HD while adding positive capabilities.

For me the P01 fails because you can't carry it like a normal handgun (i.e. cocked and locked).  The RAMI I looked at had a very low profile safety, which I didn;t like. The standard CZ 75 safety is much better.
