Puglisi measured the drop at 2 1/2", but it actually measures 2 5/16". Several people, whose opinions I value, feel that the wrist will move well in bending, and the smith I intend to use has a good track record. I'm hoping to get an additional 5/16" drop. the pitch change will go in the direction those who believe Pitch can also effect lowering the POI.

That’s a beautiful gun… that I could miss birds with (but with those dimensions, I think not).
