I wondered if the advent of guns such as the Springfield Hellcat, SIG P365, and S&W Shield Plus had made some of my older carry guns obsolete. I\u2019m talking specifically about guns with steel and alloy frames rather than polymer. I decided to conduct a test. My metal guns include the Beretta<\/a> M9, SIG<\/a> P226, Walther<\/a> Q4SF, and the all metal S&W M&P 2.0<\/a>. I figured to carry each one of these guns for 3\u20135 days to see how they fared compared to the SIG P365 or Shield Plus I\u2019ve been carrying lately. On board with me so far?<\/p>\n

Loading Up<\/h2>\n

When I loaded my M9, it tipped the scales at 38.9 ounces. Compare that with the Shield Plus fully loaded at 25.8 ounces and you get a 13.1-ounce difference. The Shield carries 18 rounds of .30 Super Carry and the M9 carries 16 rounds of 9mm. Not too much difference there. Would I notice the weight difference on my hip? There\u2019s only one way to know.<\/p>\n
