Doesnt seem to be a big weight difference, will probably spend more on the 1911 unless I go with RIA. P7 mind you is 567 after shipping and ffl, prob slightly smaller profile, but no weight difference unloaded. REALLY tempted to buy it and an RIA compact or a 1911 later..HK is harder to find mags for etc, but my uncle had one stolen, still has some stuff, mags, maybe holster etc which is nice cuz he is just going to give them to me. Ten + years and never replaced it. Really just want a nice CCW piece and splurge on myself with my bonus.
