Curious for those of you with small hands (like myself), how does a full size cz75 "fit" your hand? I'm not like an elf or something, just not a big guy. 
I'm pretty well dead-set on having one, even though I've only handled one a couple of times. Few gun shops around here seem to have them in-stock. My BHP fits my hand like God and JMB designed it specifically for me, I'm kind of hoping the CZ is going to be the same. Are the compacts a better fit for smaller hands? I'm kind of set on the full-size CZ-75bd. I'm sure there are aftermarket grips that might aid me as well. Thanks for any help, I'm just kind of thinking out loud here... |

I too have small hands. I had a 75 BD but the trigger reach in DA was a bit too far for me. Tried the alumn thin grips it helped a little but not good enough. I now have a compact which fits much better, You could try a SP01 with the curved trigger it fits better. Had one of them too but it was a heavy beast. You could also try a Phantom same as the SP01 but poly and weights less.
Good luck CZ's are great. |

seek out an CZ in your area and try the fit. <> I'm working on it, only so many shops around

I really like the full-size, but the tool has to fit...hmmm... Thanks for the quick replies fellas. |

Take a look at the CZ-75 SA.  With the thin aluminum grips,it's as thin as a 1911. With the single action trigger you will have no problem getting your finger on it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v715/3-gun/DSCN0624.jpg IIRC, a standard 75B with the thin grips is actually thinner than a 1911 with standard grips. I've measured them, but don't remember what thread I posted the results in, and don't feel like dragging them out of the safe right now. |

I'm just going to keep popping into gun shops when I'm out ramming around, someones bound to have one I can check out. |

I have medium hands, many double stack guns feel like bricks to me (like SIGs with the sexy laminated grips).
A full size CZ fits fine. You're not going to find any difference with compacts,except grip length and barrel length. the same mag has to fit them all. I picked up an older BHP yesterday, the feel is similar. A benefit of the full size all steel pistols is that they're so mild to shoot, relative to something like a Glock. |
) but I find the CZ75 to be the most natural fitting to my hand of any factory grip.

I'm sure I'm smaller than you are and the CZ 75 fits my hands fine. Me and some of the girls I shoot with love shooting it. Accurate, easy to operate, no major fatigue like I get with a HK USP for example. The good news is if you don't like it, I'm sure you'll find someone else who would buy it off you. |

Don't rush into buying just any old one. If you're patient you can get some good deals.
I've seen CZ 75Bs go for $375 retail and take a look at CZ USA's website and the link to the custom shop too. Lot of interesting info and I always check the sale section on the custom site every once in awhile. Good luck!
