Different bulkheads on different aircraft seem to extend different distances into the cabin, but I'd agree that it's generally risky to sit in row 1 if you are longer of leg. I think I best saw these seats described as 'more knee room, less leg room'.
There's seldom bag space above row 1 either - which can be a pain if the cabin is full and you are late boarding.
