Gripframes too, I think they are 4-5 oz. different. Still you can add those up and save about 1/2 lb. which is a lot when you heft them side by side.

It would be interesting to go wild and drill them like old 1950's hot rod parts to lighten and see what a wild man could do. Drill back straps, trigger guards, ejector rod housings, hammers. I mean if you got the parts just laying around. It would require lots of thinking before you drill so not to adversely effect things or ruin the effort. FWIW.

Lipsey's new Lightweight Single Seven makes me think,,, - Huey, 2018-09-25, 02:56
