Given my current obsession with subcompacts (namely the G26), I decided to while away some time by doing some Genitron comparisons last night and I ended up with, side by side, a G26, an Astra A70, and a CZ 2075 Rami BD.
They are all very different guns except for being all mid-to-low capacity 9mm and relatively small, designed for carry.
The Glock is that kind of DAO half-cocked thing, the Astra is SAO and the CZ DA/SA. The Glock is polymer, the Astra all steel and the CZ alloy. The Glock is most expensive, the Astra by far the cheapest (second-hand market only) and the CZ a little behind the G26.
The Glock I like because I like Glocks, the Astra I like because I like Astras and the CZ I like because I like CZs. (The BD Rami also comes with stock tritiums!
)
One thing I particularly like about Glocks is the interchangeability of some parts. Take mags: you can buy a G26 and stuff any 9mm feeder into it all the way to 33rds. In fact, one gun-shop owner's selling tactic for the G26 is pulling it out of his pocket with the 10rd mag, dropping that out and loading a 33rd mag from his jacket pocket!
Perhaps not real-world, but certainly makes the punters grin as they imagine their unassailably superior firepower in the Hollywood-esque street battle in their minds!!
Unfortunately, the poor Iberian Astra must make do with hard-to-find 8rd mags, but it is a genuine single stack and a fine one at that!!
Anyway, so this neat Glock design aspect made me wonder: can you do the same with the Rami?
Will it take the larger 16, 18 and 27rd CZ75 mags?
