I kept thinking that my "lightweight" gun was 5.2lbs, but it was 5.39lbs.  I forgot that I changed a few parts after that initial weighing.  I added a BADASS safety and PRI combat latch to the charging handle.  I think I changed that again (the charging handle) because I found something lighter.  I'd have to dig it out to make sure.  I built it as stout as I could, as light as I could, and the priority went to "Stout" over "Light." 

Had a hell of a time finding the details on it, because I didn't post it in my own thread - I hijacked JJ109s thread...  :lmao:

@suzukiray

5.39lbs. 

P1050308.JPG

Build parts:

Yes, finished out at 5.39lbs total.  Now, I told you that was a temporary buttstock system, in that pic, just so I could shoot it.  The 5.2lbs was before adding the PRI Combat Latch and BAD-ASS ambi safety.  After re-weighing, it's at 5.39lbs right now...

Complete parts list:

Upper: XProducts forged upper receiver
Lower: Aero Precision forged lower receiver
BAD-ASS ambi safety, long fat and short fat levers.
DSG Arms enhanced magazine catch.
ALG ACT trigger
Battle Arms Development Sabertube / BAD-LBS buttstock system
MagPul MOE K grip and poly trigger guard
Standard charging handle with PRI Combat Latch
Ares Armor Reduced Friction BCG complete
ALG EMR-V1 10" rail with it's own barrel nut
Faxon 16" pencil barrel with Faxon lightweight gasblock.
Spike's Shorty DynaComp
Fortis T1 mount
Primary Arms mini red dot
Standard parts: regular carbine buffer, buffer spring, magazine release pivot and takedown pins, ejection port door, midlength gastube and forward assist. Armalite springs throughout the lower.

Don't think I forgot anything...

THIS is what weighs 5.39lbs, total:

JJs hijacked thread, with the details...   :laffs:

Ray, you get into that thread, and you can see where I was telling you that I drilled out the shell deflector, to save whatever weight it saved.  I didn't weigh that before and after, so I have no idea what it took off.  The original intent was to keep cutting those drill holes out, and take out as much as I could, but I never did it.  Figure I've got the time now, work what it is, so I might dig it out and keep going...  :banana:

YOUR $HIT DONT COUNT UNLESS GRAM WEIGHT IS NEXT TO PARTS   :thefinger:    Wash

Everything weighed and it's under 4 pounds with a regular upper receiver, with forward assist and dust cover!!! 3.99 pounds to be exact! I won't be using that upper either, but a smooth side instead with no forward assist or dust cover so it will be even lighter!! The Truglow red dot I have for it will add 4.6 ounces to the finished weight so still WAY under 4.5 pounds!!! STUPID amount of money in it but it's pretty bitchen so far!!!!

I broke down today and bought my first 1911. I bought a 4 " barreled Rock Island Armory. Phuck you Tom!!!!!

Sah-WEEEET!   Those pistols are overlooked, alot of times, but they're pure quality, and built right.  You'll have fun with that gun.

Please tell me it's not chambered in 9mm...   :banana::lmao:

+1; .40 caliber is the answer IMHO. ?

Pretty much the same here.  My old model 26 stays in the safe as once I retired I wasn't restricted to it as a backup so I parked it and bought a model 27. :thumbup:

Wife has a 9MM Ruger LCS but that's it.   

I'll take .38 Super any day over a 9MM anyway.
