Yes, absolutely a loss of sight radius from a Centurion or other form of 92-short slide makes for a poorer bullseye gun.
I'm wondering about having having a thumb safety 92 with the bullseye-level accuracy work, but not to shoot bullseye. I'm wondering if a thumb safety 92 can get bullseye-accurate (I don't see why not, and I see other concurrence) and if a carry-comp Centurion would be possible, or if that's just too big and weird and inappropriate of a lift, it really ought to be a "normal" full-length slide pistol.
Yes, exactly! How meaningful in terms of accuracy difference might we guess/estimate/predict from the shorter slide rails? Would it be something like a Commander vs Gov't 1911?
@john c - your pistol sounds cool. How much accuracy do you think is gained going from a faster twist barrel to the 1-32, assuming equal quality of barrel and fitting?
