I started out carrying guns like 1911 Combat Commanders, 3" K-frame Smiths, Sig 220s and a Beretta 92 Compact.............. all over 40oz plus loaded.

I'm not a police officer carrying a handgun on a "Bat belt" weighing in at 5-10 lbs (?) with a S&W 5906 or 4566 and 4 spare mags...... or a Special Forces operator carrying an AR and 70-100 lbs of gear. For them...... ozs. are pounds....... over the course of a shift or humping a special op.

My EDC since 1990 has been a 25 oz S&W 3913 in a Milt Sparks Summer Special II IWB holster with one or two extra mags. a single cell AAA flashlight and a Benchmade North Fork 2.9" folder...12-18 hours a day. No big deal!!!!!

While it makes for good threads and posts........ I think many make too much over the difference between 25 and 17 oz pistols.

LOL

Don't get me started on the concealability of a "single sided vs ambi safety" !!!!!!!

Or why 8+1 will get you killed but 10+1 guarantees survival!!!!
