Talk about a lightweight!

[Gary Laudermilch]

Wow! My PH 1 frame weighs 6-10 with 26" factory length barrels. The stamped barrel weight is 3-8.

So, that begs the question with barrels that are two inches longer but an unstruck weight 8 ounces lighter, where does the weight come off? It almost seems impossible to shave that much weight without making the barrel walls extremely thin. Do you know what they measure?

Modern guns seem to adhere closely to a standard weight for a model/configuration with slight variations likely due to wood density. However, I have been watching Parker weights and they are all over the map and significantly so. I have trouble understanding how there could be so much variability within a frame/gauge size. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Joe, I think you have the record. When you measure the wall thickness, let us know what you find.
