I am afraid I too don't understand the significance of the data. Different barrel weights, frame sizes, barrel lengths, I would expect to have different handling characteristics and dynamic "feel". I just acquired a 1916 No. 2 Frame DHE with 34" barrels (marked 3.5) that weigh in at 3lbs. 11.5oz; and O/A weight of 8lbs. 8/10ths of an ounce. The gun is only a few ounces lighter than my 32" Perazzi MX8 and actually feels very similar in the way it moves. Every shooter seems to have a personal preference for how a gun feels, and other than a gun being obviously muzzle heavy, butt heavy, or a dead weight in the hand, how can the data help? It all sounds very interesting, but how would I get such data if I were considering a purchase and would it be the kind of information that might affect my decision? Just curious.
