K9 loaded weight

[Romadoc]

Just checked the weight of my K9...Loaded with 8 rounds of HST 147 gr., stainless steel guide rod and big Dot sights...Total 30 oz. (856 gr. measured on an Ohaus scale).

Well, that's roughly the weight of a loaded Kimber Ultra or Colt Defender (a little less, actually), and no one complains that those pistols are "too heavy", as some do about the K9. Of course, .45 caliber rounds would be heavier, as well as potentially more effective, than 9mm. Personally, my K9 Elite '03 has risen to the top of my preferred carry guns. It simply fits my hand better than any other, and the wide, flat trigger is more comfortable, for me, than any other. To me, its weight is an advantage, adding stability when firing.

^^^^ Couldn't agree more. My K9 has become the only gun I carry.

And no thumb safety to worry about.
