See my post number 13.

You are telling me that the kimber ultra carry is way lighter than the old lightweight colt officers model? You do realize that the old colt lightweight officers model was aluminum, don't you? How can there be such a difference?

I did not say that I had the lightweight Officers', I have the full-steel model, and that SOB is heavy. I did not realize how heavy until I started carrying the Kimber. One thing that I really like about the Kimber is that it is built on the Colt Officers' frame specs, so the magazines are interchangeable. How does the lightweight Officers' model compare to the Colt Defender? I know that the Defender is quite similar in size and weight to the Kimber.
