Larry, do you measure and record balance when you shoot a new to you gun? From above, you may have some sensitivity to balance (the % of the gun's total weight carried by each hand).

No. I just go by feel. The GL, to me, had a very significant "weight forward" feel. Some people might prefer that. I don't. Ruger worked hard to reduce overall weight on that gun. They milled metal out of the receiver. Unfortunately, that only added to the gun's weight forward bias.
