The most important consideration, in gun balance, is that the most weight be "between" the hands.It has sort of evolved that just ahead of the pin is where the gun should balance.
I think it boils down to just what feels comfortable and this point makes the gun do that.
Stand by for an academic comment on the physics of this and pay very close attention (:}).
