Okay, I'm sick to death of the manufacturer listing for pistol weights.
1) There's definitely some bias in the quest to claim the "lightest" pistol
2) They always list 'em empty. Who carries an empty pistol?
Let's break out the scales and measure (to the nearest ounce) the REAL weight of some common pistols.
The Rules
1) List the make/model
2) The gun must be loaded to maximum capacity (full mag +1 in chamber if applicable).
3) Then weigh it and list the weight in ounces (just to be consistent).
I'll start us off with a few....
NAA Mini Master .22 Magnum - 11.0
Bersa Thunder 380 Concealed Carry - 20.5
CZ-82/83 (9mm Makarov) - 30.0
CZ-52 - 36.5
Ruger Security Six (4” Stainless) - 38.0
Browning Buckmark Camper (with Red Dot Sight) - 39.0
SIG P229 (.40 S&W) - 39.5
Charles Daly 1911 - 45.5
CZ-75B (.40 S&W) - 46.0
Tanfoglio Witness 10mm - 51.5
(Great Maker...over 3 lbs...no wonder I don't carry this one!)
