No, that drop is just right. Years ago my friend bought a Lefever with 3" of DAH and he said it was just right. I ask why and he replied " I can't lift my head, it's already up ". After that I quit looking for guns with modern dimensions and if they didn't have 3 to 3 1/4" of DAH I bend them down to 3" or so. Works just great for me.
