Brian Nelson, a lead instructor with TPC, examines if bore axis offset matters. He compares the popular Glock 17 and Sig 320 as examples.
Bore Axis offset is how high the barrel is above the highest point of your hands in your handgun grip.
He shows how to measure it, how to compare how it feels, and comments on if it matters.
Summary: It definitely affects muzzle flip harshness in the the Glock 17 flips less harshly than the Sig 320. Similar results can be achieved, just with more effort and better technique required. If you like EVERYTHING else about the gun, bore axis + good technique can make it successful for you.
