Could anyone tell me which one of these drops your tank forward the least?

Thanks in advance for the help, I felt bored today so I threw some pics in there.

It's a toss-up between the Shocktech or the Dye. Both are about the same. The CP is a bit longer by about 3/4 inch.

I like the CP Rail personally...

Cryer, I am still debating whether a rail would be better. I was plannng on just running one of the smaller drops with a duckbill (I'd go Shocktech due to it being one of the two shortest, the DYE isn't worth the extra money to me if it drops it just about the same length), but a dovetail rail would give a little more flexibility as to where exactly I wanted the tank.

I used to be on this KAPP dropzone with-the-tank-in-front-of-the-gun kick, but then I realized that that hurt my wrist when I pulled the trigger...

My next drop was the Shockteck 2" mini (the angeled one) It was alright, but I didn't like the tank angled like that. For me, the rail is nearly perfect. (Once I get the Y-grip, I'll have the ideal setup) I can shoulder it nicely, the tank doesn't get in the way of my arm, and I feel I can pull the trigger faster with a shorter drop. (seriously... I think it has something to do with the wrist not being at such an extreme angle as with a dropzone)

I think if you have a 45 frame, then you're best with one of these drops, but if you're going with the Y-grip (as I hope to...), get the rail.

Drops in general are pretty uncomfortable for me, I have fairly long arms. That's why I was debating a really small one and a duckbill, or possibly a rail. I find that with either of those two setups I have a much easier time aiming, and I hit what I'm aiming at more as a result. As far as how fast I can fire, I think I can fire a little faster without a huge drop, but not a lot faster.
