Ok, you are probably aware, that with all its quirks, my RAP is becoming one of my favorite handguns.
But boy is it heavy.
There were some posts earlier about the weight of the pistol compared to the Kahr K series handguns...which are also a fistfull of steel.
Well, I got out my digital scale, and did some weighing.
It is indeed heavier than the Kahr, and it is worse than we thought.
Here are the weights. bullets are Speer gold dot +P 124 gr HP
RAP 401 9mm
gun only, no mag 29.9 oz
gun, empty mag 32.2 oz
gun, full mag 35.7 oz
gun, full mag+1 36.2 oz (carry weight)
The Kahr website shows the weight of the K series handguns to be:
gun only 23.1 oz
mag 1.9 oz
this puts the gun+empty mag weight at:
25 oz
So that is a full 7.2 oz difference between the RAP and the Kahr. Wow....
The Kahr weights were taken off the Kahr website, so I cannot affirm thier accuracy....But I know my measurements are accurate.
