How well does the gun/grips fit your hand? I cannot shoot N frames well DA due to the long trigger reach and poor finger placement it causes me.

I have the stock houge rubber grip with finger grooves and I have small hands. I grip it high, the hammer often hits my thumb and the web between the index finger and the thumb and the lower 1/3rd of the grip is always exposed because I grip high and have small hands. My pinkie and ring finger tend to get jammed together due to large "finger" grooves being too large for me.
The answer to your problem might be a K/L frame. Or GP100

Two thoughts after getting more information
1. The CZ 75's DA trigger stacks a little towards the end. If you are used to that sensation, it would seem to make sense to try to duplicate it with a S&W revolver by staging the trigger. A stacking trigger, and purposefully staging one that doesn't stack both lead to a pause that creates uncertainty about the sight picture/sight alignment; which then leads to a panic to try to get the shot off RFN, which leads to poor results.
2. The N frame's trigger reach may be too much depending on the grips you are using. Or it may be too much no matter what. In which case +1 to what Hizzie said.
I dont think that the trigger reach is the problem, I am able to grasp the pistol so high I wind up using the joint instead the pad of the finger.
If you think your grip is not the problem please post a pic of it.

Will do after the wife gets back home. I texted her and had to explain that I was literal when I said that I needed her to "take pictures of me holding my pistol show I can show it to strange men on the internet"

I would like to think that I do not have ego problems so if my shit looks all fucked up and I am retarded please tell me.
Oh and as a bonus I will throw in this picture here of NY legal 7 round assault clip(it was 8 but I made it complaint):

Dude, your thumb placement is doing NOTHING for you.
I recommend dropping your firing hand thumb straight down at the first joint and then locking your support hand thumb over top of it. Failing that you can do a thumbs-forward grip, but I'm not a fan of it with revolvers.
Between this advice and not staging the trigger you should have some solid tools to work with.
Give those changes a fair shake.
