10 or 11 ounces loaded it the threshold for me.

Maybe Frankenstein can carry a brick in his pocket, but not me.


It depends entirely upon how it's carried. I can and do carry a full-size 1911 (steel frame) or a BHP, but those are carried in a very good holster and IWB. For pocket carry, I routinely carry a .44 Special snub-nosed revolver and have carried a J-frame as well. A decent pocket holster makes a world of difference, but so too does the attire. In dress slacks, those don't work. In jeans or heavier weight khakis (Mountain Khakis are great) or Carhartts, or even decent cargo shorts, the revolvers are no problem at all.
