For everyday carry, I dont think a few ounces amounts to much, if you thought so, surely you would have chosen the shield because its a few ounces lighter than your glock. But I know youd rather have the glock, I probably would too, if I had to choose between the two because its just a nicer gun. We could have come to that conclusion without the scale. Er go my question, whats the point of the scale? You just wanting to show off that 9mm brick youre toting?
