I don't think that's the case entirely Pete. The 1-1/2 frame guns feel much lighter than a 2-frame, at least that's the case for the last 2-frame I bought which is pretty stout and feels much much heavier than any 1-1/2 frame I've handled. My 30" 1-1/2 frame VH12 is the same; feels like a 16. My latest 2-frame feels like a 10ga in comparison. I do have one 2-frame DH12 that is just a touch over 7# and feels almost as light as the smaller framed guns. You're certainly correct about dimensions though; my little 26" gun fits me pretty well; could be I'd shoot it well if it had sewer pipe for bbls....
