Gee there's no difference in weight is there. So all gun (handgun) weights are the same huh. Well I'll see your 2.5lbs to my 1.5lbs (let's not forget the fact that guns need ammo to be of any use) any day. That extra pount DOES make a difference believe it or not.

I'm wondering if you have a fancy nickel-plated 1911 by chance? Maybe you saw too many reruns of Miami Vice or maybe you're just "compensating" for something. Whatever it is you need to check yourself and your facts. Don't try to come here and spew fictitious nonsense and expect everyone to believe it to be gospel because you say so.
How about you go reread what I wrote. You seem extremely defensive as well, maybe youre trying to compensate for something. I said MOST guns weigh the same. Take 1911's out of the equation and you have a considerable amount of guns that are all in the same weight range. For as much as you think I like 1911's, you seem to be one helluva HK fanboy.

Im flattered you keep responding to me, maybe you like me in some sort of way. Maybe you DO want me to have some fancy 1911, but unfortunately I use my guns for actual competitions. Its a modified Springer Arms TRP, go look that one up if you have nothing better to do.

Meanwhile, I dont think Ive spewed any "fictitious nonsense" with the expectations of anyone taking it as gospel. Ive stated mostly opinions. On top of that, youve done nothing for this thread except to try to dispute everything Ive said.

How about you respond to the OP and help him out and take the saddle off me, Im tired of being ridden so hard.
