That doesn't sound right. 1911s on average weigh 37 ounces (2 pounds, 5 ounces, 1 pound=16 ounces) and a 4505/6 will weigh about the same, maybe a few ounces heavier. Were you weighing them loaded or on a 12 ounces=1 pound scale?
Also if it has a trigger that's better than a Berettas, more power to ya. 3rd gen Smith autos tend to have pretty bad triggers compared to Berettas and SIGs, but the 4505 might be an exception as it was an early model and wasn't mass produced (or at least not as much so as the 4506 or 5906).
I also read that the Novak sighted 4505 is the rarest configuration of the gun, so again you have another reason to be proud of it.
