I carried 2 Js for years. I have been in a constant search for as light and effective carries as I can come up with. When all our guys come tomorrow, we will, as always, compare our carries for the day. I have a set of accurate postal scales on my bench and we weigh them all LOADED. The Js rule for constant carry and effectiveness. I have recently found a lighter and as effective for carry as any of us has found. A Taurus View loaded with 5 rounds of 130 grain FMJ for penetration weigh 11 ounces. A pair of these may be in order for me. Carry a lot..shoot a little. Since we carry every step and shoot every day, this may fill the carry every step part of the equation.
