The distance from tail to the top of the pin is .570”. Gauge pin .349”/2=0.1745”. 0.570”+ 0.1745”= 0.7445”!!! The new record holder for the lowest bore!!!

In an experienced hand does bore height really make a difference in results or more hype for retailers?

Yea, it helps with muzzle flip and follow up shots. I could tell the difference between the Sig and Glock but it should not be a deciding factor and newer shooters probably cant tell. It could be considered hype to some though. There are world class competitive shooters that run Sigs so obviously its not a huge problem or anything like that, imo.

You are right though, it really is kind of a moot point. Have you ever taken your G17 and p226 and shot them back to back? The Sig ,imo makes up for it by having great grip shape/angle but the Glock has significantly less flip. I bet that Steyr has even less then Glock.

Me too, and the worst part is that Steyr just stopped making the “m9-a1” variant in .40 cal so yeah even less likely now than ever.

Wonder how the Fk BRNO stacks up, but sure no one has $7,500 sitting around to find out

Yeah, no kidding @AgentVenom. But there may be hope for the FK field pistol. They are the polymer Brother to the FK brno. Only $2,500.00 for that one LOL!
