Mine only weighs 42 oz unloaded. Loaded w/six 400gr bullet cartridges brings the weight up to 50 oz. Of course you can load anything from 275gr Barnes copper HPs to 420+ cast depending upon your needs. Some might consider it a bit bulky for concealed carry, although a good holster will help. I carried mine around (concealed) one day while walking the dogs and pretty much forgot about it. Loaded it down to about 850 fps w/370gr and one of the guys at the range was consistently hitting a full size popper at 70 yds. Pretty easy shooting snubbie.

FWIW,
