If money were no object I would have the Sig Sauer P365 and a Kimber Ultra Carry II but I have what I have instead.

I would enjoy hearing the experience of others with small, micro-9nn's, especially those that are hammer fired.
The RAMI is a double action and comes in two versions. The safety version for cocked and locked carry and the decocker version, which decocks to a half-cock position, which is a shorter and lighter pull of about 8lbs. compared to a manually fully lowered hammer which makes a longer 10lb+ pull.Arroyoshark wrote:My mind keeps wandering back to the CZ RAMI. Had not been aware of it before mention here. It is small, holds 10 rounds with flush mag, has old school long double action I suppose, but I like the option of cocked and locked if holster is right.

I have 2 that might fit. My first small carry gun was a Star FireStar 9mm unfortunately no longer available on the new market built like a tank and weighs like one. My current choice of 9mm is the Sig P938, hammer fired a sort of 911 clone, well made accurate and easy to carry. I too don't care much for striker fired hand guns but I grew up on 1911s and clones and I'm mostly too old to change my ways.
Make smoke,
Probably just me, cut my pistol teeth on a gun with a hammer and safety and see no particular reason to change at 75. Full disclosure I do own one H&K a PK2000 in 357 Sig. It was Linda's she carried it for a while until she moved on to her Sigs. It's a fairly pleasant gun to shoot and I get it out now and then when I know I'll be able to recover most of the spent cases.GasGuzzler wrote:What's the rub with striker fired for y'all?

I've all four actions in my regular carry rotation. Here's how I feel about them.GasGuzzler wrote:What's the rub with striker fired for y'all? Is it just a way things are issue or is there worry of mechanical failure?
