Hey guys, can anyone give me a weight on your Springfield Milspec 5" fully loaded vs a CZ75 with 15rd mag please?

Might be looking at the 1911's, but don't want any more weight than my CZ.

That's a great resource, but I need the actual weight with rounds in the mags/chamber.

Springfield 1911 A1 with adjustible sights ... 7+1:

2lbs 13.4oz


One more heavy brick to carry around inside your britches if you want my opinion.

Wow, that's a lot. I wonder if my CZ weighs that much.

Don't forget the weight will be affected by the load. A magazine full of 230 grainers will be heavier than one full of 185 grainers.
You can always get an aluminum framed 1911 if weight is an issue.

I forgot the type of round might make a difference. what I had in the pistol was 230 gr Sellier & Bellot full metal jackets. Each weighs in at .7 oz.
