BTW: the 6.5" felt much more balanced compared to the Hunter. Thx

You don't WANT a gap between your knuckle and the guard. If your knuckle is touching the guard, you get a "shove" instead of a "punch". There is no room to accelerate.
If there is a large gap, the gun can accelerate, and you get a "roundhouse punch". It can help to use the index finger of your support hand to fill in the gap.
