. . .I put a steel "Dragoon" grip frame and a steel ERH on a 4-5/8" OM .45 Blackhawk, and it weighs 43oz.

A similar 4-5/8" gun in .41 Mag with the standard aluminum grip frame and ERH weighs 38oz. The smaller "holes" do kill some of the aluminum weight advantage.

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