The thunder .380 was the original. A PPK look alike. The .380 CC has finger grooves in the frame, and more aesthetic features.
The Ultra Compacts have 3.5" barrels. The full sized have barrels slightly over 4 inches. The grip frames are shorter on the compacts, slightly longer on the full sized.
The 22 and .380 are smaller frames than the 9 and 40. UC. Which are smaller than the full sized .9 and .40. The .45 UC, and .45 full sized are separate animals.
Now, to throw mud in the water. The 9, UC had ten shot magazines, but they came out with new magazines, that fit the same gun and hold 13 +1= 14 in the gun.
Did you use this link?

If you click on a picture it will give you a separate page. Then above the pic is the manual in .pdf. There is a technical data section in there with dimensions of each firearm per manual.
for example:

Yeah, the site could have been done better.
