[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Longer upswept beaver tail vs short straight spur?

Posted: 4/22/2017 11:27:32 PM EDT

What's the skinny on this?

I'm relatively new to the cz platform and notice some of the guns have short spur, while others have a longer upswept beaver tail.

Sometimes either one can be seen on the same model.

Is one old and the other newer?

I'm sure everyone has a preference on one over the other,

I can't seem to find any when/why info about it.

Anybody know?

I had a Stainless 75b with the upswept beavertail. Best pistol I ever owned. Praying I get the funds to buy another one day...

I have CZ75 clones with both, and i like the upswept one better, just for looks. I can't tell the difference when I hold them with my eyes closed.

Seems like it's a newer thing. The original pre b's and older B's have the shorter first one, and the upswept one came about later on some models. I'm pretty sure they still make both kinds though.

The newer stainless models all have the better beavertail whereas once they where stubbies.

The change happened a few years ago.

During very high volume shooting the shorter beavertail makes the web of my strong hand uncomfortable. The newer style upswept beavertail does not.
As mentioned all new stainless models have upswept beavertail.

I've had this happen with the better beavertail:

I can only imagine what it would have been like with the stub.

I was looking at this thread while holding both my "Mossad" guns, one of them has the "stubby" beavertail, and the other has the big upswept one. For the life of me, I don't know how, or why you would get hammer bite holding either of them in any soft of comfortable way. I would like to see your grip.

That's not hammer bite, my skin just gave up during a high round count class.

Ok, I was really confused. I've never shot a gun enough to get blisters or anything other than the sliced trigger finger on my old S&W 28 from the grooved trigger.

Those appear to be friction blisters after they popped.
