28.3 oz, that's gotta be fun to shoot, I've got the Taurus .44 mag with a 6.5" bbl ported it's a dream to shoot, but heavy to carry. I carry it when I am shed hunting in the spring I've had some close encounters with hungry bears. It's not to bad when it's the only weapon you're carrying, but I carry my Ruger GP100 .357 during season.
