CZ P-09 C alternative with a shorter LOP?

:post-question: question

Saw a CZ P-09 C in a shop the other day. Thought it was sexy as hell. Dunno why, didn't question it, this isn't a practical purchase, I've plenty of those; I like how it looks and I want one. Just vibes.

Ask to try it, immediately cock blocked by the length of pull: it's too long for my tiny man baby fingers. They're not stubby or fat, just resized to 50% of normal fingers. Only the very tip of my index's pad could reach the trigger. Literally the only pistol fitment measure that matters. Backstrap appears to not be a factor, the interchangeable part doesn't go high enough. Big sad.

So: any suggestions on alternatives with a similar aesthetic that I could settle for?

I like the minimalist vibe: hard angles, but not glock-blocky, flat/quiet grip texture, the straight-line 1911-esque profile. Feel weird liking a basic plastic striker body so much but it is what it is. The 75 is opposite in many ways, I guess that's why I never tried one; probably would've discovered the LOP issue there, too. Otherwise have had great experiences with CZ.

Thanks all
