They are both in about the same scale.

The top pistol, a TEC-9, is longer, heavier, and more awkward to carry without any of the advantages of those characteristics. And look at that charging handle sticking out literally like a sore thumb! Made to catch on clothing!

The top pistol has a shorter barrel than the bottom pistol, a CZ75. Because it has a longer barrel, the CZ75 will have more muzzle velocity (and thus momentum and energy) than the same cartridge fired from the TEC-9.

Because the magazine of the CZ75 is in the grip instead of seperate, the CZ75 able to be put into a holster, and it is both shorter and lighter.

And you can get long 30-round magazines for pistols like the CZ75 as well. This in particular is a 9mm Glock pistol with a 32-round magazine.



So, to summerize: The CZ75 is lighter, shorter, more concealable, and more powerful shot-for-shot, and you can get 30-round magazines for them. And as an aside, it's a quality pistol, not like the TEC-9.
