I'm pretty sure that you'll find that the P-01 is not downsized in ways that affect the grip size or trigger reach: slide length and grip length are the main changes, both shorter. The shortened grip still accomodates the full-size gun's mags, so grip diameter hasn't really changed.
What accounts for the difference? The trigger has a different shape (which, when first introduced in the PCR, the early CZ nuts called it the "recurved trigger"), and like the other CZ decocker models, it starts from the half-cock. Those two subtle changes account for the better trigger accessibility for those with small hands or short fingers. Those same features could be incorporated into a full-size CZ. Cajun Gun Works has a trigger kit that shortens the trigger pull even farther... The P-01 has a number of modification that make it differ from the PCR, some of which are improvements, some of which can simply be called changes. I do prefer the extended beavertail, which is found on many of the newer models (including the SA versions and the Stainless models.)
