Well,
I was bored outta my skull this weekend and I got to thinking about how light these little things have become. So, I took it upon myself to weight several of my little J frames without the grips. I also weighed the grips by themselves and even several samples of 5 rounds of ammo.
It was suprising. Often times I hear recommendations about grips and recommendations about the little guns. Moral is, I have found about each 5 oz. makes a difference with respect to comfort and control. So here you go, do with it what you may. For example, a tiny titanium could weight more than aluminum frame if you put the wrong grips on it.
Grips:
Pachmayr presentation 5.92 oz.
Fitz gunfighter grips 3.42 oz.
Uncle Mike Boot grip 2.15 oz.
S&W new style Boot grip 1.65 oz.
Sile rubber finger grooves 2.29 oz.
Pachmayr compacs (small style) 2.89
Bianchi Lightning 5.32
Herretts 1.51
PPG 1.51
Safariland 2.11
Guns:
342 Ti 8.67 oz.
351 centennial 9.87
317 2" 8.60
649 19.29
642 Power port 14.07
640 3" carry comp PC 21.30
340 M&P 12.20
5 rounds of ammo adds about 2.4 oz
Just food for thought
