No, for me it is reach.I'm baffled by the comments about the "reach" to the safety (trigger reach, sure). I don't have any kind of orangutan thumbs and there's not the tiniest bit of difficulty reaching the safety on a CZ-pattern gun. Now, the angle of the thumb is probably higher than on a 1911... is that what we're talking about?
The pivot point on the CZ 75 thumb safety is approximately the same distance from the backstrap as is the leading edge (the part closest to the plunger tube) of a 1911 Colt teardrop thumb safety.
