if you lighten it according to the many mods posted here and otherwise, it will be limited to glock-type carry with trigger completely covered to prevent it from firing when holster or trigger hangs on something or you are a bit slow in getting finger out of way when holstering....it's heavy for a reason...it's about the only gun of its type truly as safe as a modern DA revolver, because it truly has a trigger as heavy as a modern DA revolver.
