Figured I'd ask ye experienced shooters out of curiosity, and because of the fact I'm getting a handgun thats 42.2 ounces (2.64 lbs) with the magazine (unloaded I think) and was wondering if that much weight would make me tired. I understand each person is different so I'd like to get input from as many people as possible. Thanks!
How heavy does a handgun have to be before you start feeling fatigue?

Are you talking about to shoot for a long period of time on a range with, or to carry? I have a CZ SP-01 Shadow which weighs in at about 2.6lb according to the website. I was carrying it for about 6 hours on the range today unloaded. I didn't get tired, but I could feel its weight there which was reassuring as I would instantly notice if it was gone.
I think as 2wheels said, a good belt will help. A nice stiff belt means it won't be tugging away.

When carried with the BH Serpa holster my G 23 doesn't get too heavy.

1847 Colt Walker is a little heavy for slow fire one handed drills.
