If you could imagine aiming directly through the barrel it would not matter the orientation of the barrel. Now imagine having your optic a foot off the barrel. Any error in the vertical orientation between the barrel and the optic will cause a large change in the point of impact.
I dont think there will be much if any difference between .83" and 1". You will be better off learning how the gun "feels" when held correctly, it will become mussel memory.
I get what you mean. Thanks for the help. I definitely think you're right that the more you use whatever set-up you have the more your brain will do the work for you. Thanks for the advice!
