Ranger Arms is a newer name in the CZ-75 pattern space, and the RA9 Defence 2 is one of the pistols building that reputation. Owners who have handled CZ clones before generally compare the fit and slide-to-frame tolerances favorably, and the trigger is a common highlight given how short the reset feels compared to a typical striker-fired duty gun.

The polymer frame keeps the RA9 Defence 2 lighter than an all-steel CZ-75, which owners carrying it daily tend to appreciate, though a few purists say they miss the heft of the original steel guns. The stippled grip and finger grooves get positive marks for keeping the pistol in place under recoil.

Because it takes standard CZ-75 pattern magazines, owners like that they aren't locked into a proprietary magazine ecosystem, and spare mags are easy to source. The included shooter's kit with a cleaning kit and magazine loader is seen as a nice touch that most competing pistols in this price range don't bundle in.
