The 49 weighs a little over 20 ounces, but it isn't that bad. You really do adjust to the extra heft and it does make it nicer to shoot, but there is also something to be said for the lighter weight of the Model 38. I remember when I went from my Sig 220 to the Glock 19. It felt like I wasn't carrying anything in my holster at first. And the Sig has an alloy lower frame. Imagine how a standard 1911A1 would feel with the all steel frame after a 12 hour shift.
