He's not heavy, he's mah brotha

[Zundfolge]

So I'm standing in the kitchen earlier and I noticed the little scale we have in the cabinet for making sure I serve the icecream equitably (don't ask).

I get this bright idea ... lets figure out which of the several guns I have laying around here for CCW weighs the most.

Here's how they weigh out (note that I also have a Steyr M40 that I just realized I never weighed).
All weights fully loaded
CZ 75 SA .40 2lb 11oz (12+1 rounds .40)
Dan Wesson 14-2 2lb 2.5oz (6 rounds .357mag)
Steyr S40 1lb 15oz (10+1 rounds .40)
KelTec P3AT 11.5oz (6+1 rounds .380)

Frankly the CZ carries almost as comfortably as the Steyr (but doesn't conceal as well) and the P3AT actually annoys me the most to carry (but that's cause I pocket carry it and I dislike pocket carry).

I've weighed my pistols before, but forgotten. The M&P is on its way back to S&W, but I'll reweigh my CZ 75B fully loaded tonight. It should be about the same weight as your CZ.

[Irving]

Smith & Wesson M&P 40c 2lbs
CZ 75 B 2 lbs 12 oz

Both guns fully loaded.

Took me forever to get the right search term (brotha) to find this post again too.

great song, but wish I hadn't

my only brother is an alcoholic that just can't find rock bottom.

now I have gotten dust in both my eyes.

What'd you guys pay for those CZ 75's? It's made it on The List.

I got mine used at Green Mountain Guns for $350 about a year and a half ago. Mine was made in 1994. Link to list?

Sorry about your bro Elhuero

I paid about $600 for mine, but mine is a little less common as its an SA model.




Yep ... its packed Cocked 'n Locked

I guess I could have titled the thread "Various weights of CCW pistols" but that seems kinda boring

Don't worry, it means you are a good brother.

KelTec P3AT 11.5oz (6+1 rounds .380)
...

I just replaced my old Kel-Tec with one of these P3AT and I really like it. I don't like pocket carry, but I'm getting a holster made for it and it's not an uncomfortable gun to shoot. I had no problem hitting cans out camping this weekend at 50 yards on sight. Long term it isn't a comfortable gun but I didn't get it for long term shooting.....

[Irving]

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good deal too. I was just killing time at the gun shop and didn't have any intentions of buying a gun. That was back when I had an empty credit card that I swore would only be for emergencies. There was also a Savage .308 lever gun with a scope for $350ish that I wanted, and I almost got them both.

Anyway, here are some pictures. I've included multiple different shots to fit the tastes of as many board members as possible.



For Ginsue:


For Lejerk: Please excuse the mean look, I think I was trying to hold in a fart. I hope that explains the wife beater as well.


For Byte Stryke I wanted to get a picture of me selling the gun to a felon at a gun show, but I'm a little pressed for time.

Also, all the polished parts on the gun are from my very own bubba polishing job, except the barrel, they come shiney like that already.
