If I just drop the 290 into my pants pocket the weight is an issue. I have found that the key is to use a pocket holster. It seems to distribute the weight in a way that that the gun carries much lighter. I use a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. Pocket holsters are required for pocket carry in Georgia so the solution to the gun's weight sort of worked itself out.
One big positive of the gun's weight is that it really controls recoil making for a rather pleasant shooter compared to other pocket Nines and 380s.
