15 oz. 638 J-frame
31 oz. Kimber
Probably to add a ~40+ oz. L-frame to the winter-carry rotation, just for fun

I didn't vote because I have more than one.
Glock 26 = 19.75 oz empty
S&W 637 = 15 oz empty
Kel Tec P32 = 6.6 oz empty

Can't vote with the options listed - I carry a
full size 1911 Stainless Steel I think S&W
specs it at 39 oz. empty weight.
I've been thinking about a S&W 908S = 24 oz. or
the new to the market 1911 Compact ES 29 oz.?
I do have a MOdel 60 3" Bbl. 24 oz. but haven't got
a holster for it.

EDC is a 5" stainless Kimber, and I don't notice the weight.

26oz Kahr K9, before ammo of course.
? I think that fits option three pretty well .
Thanks all, and keep it coming. The information is starting to tell me quite a bit about prefered guns for carry. I wondered how to relate this to type of carry , although I suspect the heavier guns would most likely be waist band holster carried.
Leading the pack so far are light guns which doesn't surprise me, but I thought they might make up even more of the mix . Interesting to me anyway.

At least one in each category. On the hip as I type is an 18.5-oz Kahr P45.

I can and do carry in 3 different ways.
1.) and most common; IWB ( COMIIO by hbeleatherworks.) This holster is amazing. I have absolutely no problems concealing the 5" 1911 wearing only cargo shorts and a T-shirt.
Last month, I wore this holster and gun on a road trip from CC, TX, all the way to Las Cruces, NM, and then I wore it around once we got there.
2.) I use one of those Galco Belly Bands. This thing is probably the most comfortable option for short term carry.
This is also what I'll slap on if I'm "just going to run to the store, etc...
It does have some major downsides, though. It wobbles some when I walk, and drawing from this thing is sloppy at best.
3.) I use a man bag that I bought from Pep boys on clearance.
It looks kinda like a scaled down, square messanger bag made of subdued blue green nylon.
It's got all kinds of neat little places to put things, and a big pocket in the back where I can place my 1911.
Sure, it took a little while to get used to carrying a bag, but it sure beats not carrying.

I have a new 642 Powerport coming in, and it's supposed to be 15.4 oz or something like that. My old carry piece was an SP101, just over 25 oz.

Extra mag with 7 more, 5-6 ounces
mag holder (Gerber multitool sheath), ~2 ounces
PPS holster, 6-7 ounces
now I just need that last ounce of permit from .gov and I can carry outside the home.
