One thing never mentioned when we talk about preferred drop measurements is the differences in facial features. The distance from the pupil down to the bottom of the cheekbone would seem, to me, to be the very minimum drop needed at comb to try and get a gun to shoot flat, or 50/50. Add to that the preference for some, like myself, to cheek very lightly the comb, and you may need to add a bit more to that distance.
It is 2 1/4" to 2 3/8" from the bottom of my cheekbone, where I would have the comb if I cheeked snugly, to the center of my pupil. That is DAC, mind you, not DAH. DAH is usually more, except with a parallel comb or Monte Carlo. So, you can see why I could shoot what some would consider excessive drop okay. If you prefer a gun with around 2 1/4" DAH, stand in front of a mirror with a tape measure or a ruler and measure that distance. It might be enlightening.
There are all kinds of differing facial measurements. They affect what we each need in stock measurements. I do not argue that some shoot 2 1/4" DAH very well, but they either don't have as long a distance from cheekbone to pupil as I, or they "float the bird" over muzzles.
