I am somewhat of a newbie to handguns but I have been reading for the last few weeks trying to decide which 9 mm to get. After much consideration the CZ 75B or the Beretta 92fs sounded like what I really wanted.
However, as many posts have suggested to hold them and/or shoot them. So I went to the gun show in Houston this past weekend and spent several hours holding many guns. To my dismay the Beretta 92sf and especially the CZ 75B seemed to be a bit too large for my finger to easily reach the trigger. I didn’t think I had a particularly small hand but they seemed big.
I tried the CZ 75 P-01 and the Beretta Px4 which really fit much better. Putting one gun on top of the other I couldn’t see any difference in distance between back strap and trigger, but there sure feels like there is a difference in my hand.
I thought this different feeling might be caused by a difference in weight, but even the somewhat heavier SP-01 feels better in my hand than the CZ 75.
I have two questions:
1. According to the stats there is 0.8 inch difference in barrel length between the 75B and the P-01 and 0.9 inches difference for the Berettas, therefore, I would like to know how much that extra length or lack of length will affect the accuracy?
As far as that goes for any gun, how much is accuracy affected by a half inch, or three fourths of an inch, or even an inch or more?
2. Is there a difference in size or trigger reach comparing the 75B to the P-01 or SP-01 or between the Berettas? Or is this just my imagination?
Thanks.
