not weight, length
Its not so much the weight as the length/dimensions. And target grips. Awkward in and out of a vehicle (why LE almost universally went to 4" guns in the long run, and once the short comings of the swivel holster were recognized) ATV, mtn bike, through the woods, my 6" guns just seemed cumbersome.
Years ago, plenty healthy and able bodied, I took a long hard walk over a ridge near Crystal Springs AR, down to Lake Ouachita and return. My pet M29/6'' seemed in the way of everything. Hung on my pack, wacked my staff, seemed to catch every sapling I walked past. I kinda swore off toting 6 inchers after that.
