FWIW, handling and "feel" properties are simply facts about any given gun. They are not dependent on who, when, where, how , or why the gun was made. Gun makers tended to shift the properties to better suit the purpose and to conform to current fashion. Actually, handling should be fitted to the shooter much as stock dimensions are for bespoke guns. Much ink has been spilt over optimum guns - a critter that doesn't exist. One man's magic gun is another's pig on a snow shovel. Do not waste any time fantasizing about the superiority of any given maker' handling. The question is does it suit you as an individual.
