9mm Self-Defense Autoloaders: CZ’s Rami 2075 P Is a Bargain

Shooters like 9mm pistols for many reasons, chief among them being their reputation for manageable recoil with at least minimum acceptable stopping power for a self-defense cartridge. Also, 9mm guns can be made small and flat, which makes them suitable for comfortable concealed carry.

We recently bought a trio of such guns at Fountain Firearms in Houston (www.fountainfirearms.com, 281-561-8447). They were of relatively similar size, but different in almost every other way—and

The Heckler & Koch P7 PSP, $795, used a squeeze-cocking design to make the first shot fast and on target. We liked the small-frame H&K 9mm better than similarly sized guns from Kel-Tec and CZ, though the Czech Republic product scored pretty high in our tests as well.
