S&W 645 - 36.8 oz
Colt Government model - 36.0 oz
For the "extra" .8 oz, the double action alone was worth it in my book. Toss in the stainless steel (long before Colts stainless Government models) and it was a no brainer!

You're right. But I never compared the Colt weight to the 645 weight. They're both heavy guns. The 645 is heavier than the 457 I carried as a backup, heavier than the 6904 I was issued, and heavier than the 49 and 649 I carried on my ankle. My point being is the 645 is a heavy gun.
