Default Weight of pistol for pocket carry

I am curious as to what the concensus of opinion is on this forum for maximum weight for a pocket pistol. I place mine at about 16 oz loaded, more than that for me needs belt carry.

My Kahr PM9 is 1lb 4oz with a full magazine and I wouldn't want anything heavier.

I would agree with the 16 oz. limit. That equates to a lot of keys, change, and junk and gets noticeable after months of daily carry.

I've always kinda thought it had more to do with the size of the man, than the weight of the gun.
