How noticeable will it be with lightweight j frame

[haywood]

I usually only carry and shoot J-Frames. The Two 442s and 37 are noticeably lighter in the pocket. I always use rubber grips so the recoil doesn't bother me. The grips make Range time very enjoyable. They also fit in all my pants pockets. A 442 lives in my off hand pocket and a second J is usually in my waist. If you buy a Hogue Tamer Grip, like the one 442 here, it's made for the Centennial Frame and sits a little higher. It won't fit a hammer type frame.

It depends on how you plan to carry.

There's no noticeable difference between the steel J frames and the alloy J frames if you're carrying in the belt.

The difference is quite noticeable if you're pocket carrying.

I got a M-337 when I first saw one. I can tell a lot of difference between the "Airlight" v "Airweight"
