Jerry, perhaps if I "carried" for a living instead of on appropriate occasions, I guess weight might matter to me... but what does matter to me is endurance... For years I practiced most with a steel frame gun and for the last magazine or two I would use my M1911A1 that I built on an aluminum frame... a major difference in weight but not function and sight picture...
I doubt many of the 'plastic' framed guns could have taken the pounding I have given that Aluminum frame and still be in service... and my steel frame 1911A1's will be in service long after they pry them outta my cold dead hands...
