Well, I was all set to order my Glock 27, when I handled the Para-Carry. I liked the feel and look of the Para Carry, but I noticed it seemed quite heavy compared to the Glock. Both of these were handled empty. I was really surprised at the Para Carry's size. I expected it to be larger, but it was actually quite a small gun. I assume the extra weight helps handle the recoil of the .45 ACP.
Because I've never carried before, I was wondering how much you "felt" the gun there if they were a little heavier? Is it an annoyance if they are too heavy? How much does a good belt and holster negate the weight of a gun?
My goal is to buy a gun I will carry most frequently. If its too heavy, or too large, I know I won't like carrying it, and won't end up doing so, resulting in a gun that was a waste of money...
Thoughts? Hindsight? Anyone wish they'd gotten a lighter gun? A heavier gun?
