    Just trying to insert a bit of common sense.
    I mean its not like we are comparing a Charter Arms to My 45 Colt Redhawk.
    I understand that not everyone can afford the same weapons and I understand other limitations. I am perfectly fine with a woman packing a 22Mag if that is all they control but to make such a statement over 5 ounces is a bit ridiculous

    I carry everyday, 30 years in uniform, and can tell you ounces matter…..let’s face it people like to be somewhat comfortable( air conditioning, ice cold beer etc) chances are if it’s not reasonably comfortable they may not carry it everyday! Carry what you are comfortable with….and carry it everyday! What somebody else is carrying is not of concern to my comfort unless it’s dangerous…I carried around 35 extra lbs on me everyday when on duty……believe me ounces count. So for me a Ti frame commander in a Sparks 55bn is reasonably comfortable however, in hot weather (95+), I switch to my Glock 43…..both of which have never failed to operate with factory ammo. After all a Glockit in the pocket is better than a Deasert Eagle left at home

    On a belt or in a shoulder holster, 5 ounces doesn't matter; in a pocket or on an ankle those ounces do matter.
    My model 60 weighs just under 20 ounces, my 342 weighs just over 11 oz. I notice the difference in my pocket and at the range. Ultralight guns kick hard while heavier guns absorb some of the recoil.

    I pocket carry exclusively. Cargo pocket, roughly 3 o'clock between knee and hip. My EDC quartet weigh 20oz, 27oz, 32oz and 36oz. The ounces matter to some because they've decided ounces matter. Ounces are nothing. I decided they make no difference. Turns out I am correct. Pounds, that's plural meaning 2 or more, matter. But the difference between my quartet are meaningless. I dress correctly for them and other than maybe burning an extra 3 calories over the course of a day from carrying alllllll that extra weight there's no difference. I'm thankful my mind listens to me rather than forcing me to listen to it. I don't need that kind of bad advice.

    Don't be fooled. The .32 Magnum can still "haul the freight". When called upon, a 14-ounce CA "Undercoverette" will do the job.
