the S&W I lug around the shop weighs a full 20 when loaded and in the holster.
Ounces, that is. Mdl. 432

My suggestion is that Rock Creek Outfitter customers leave out the expresso machine to reduce weight for the pistol.
I’ve been to this store and it is mostly overpriced yuppie trail mix of clothes and designer packs. They do have a small amount of climbing gear.
As you might guess, hunters don’t patronize his store as I can imagine he might think a deer rifle or shotgun weighs.

JKB; yeah, I was going to mention the weight of some of the rifles that are carried (by me among others) for miles in the mountains. Then there is the M1 Garand that was carried, along with a pack, extra ammo and other gear, during W.W.II. The Garand weighs around 10 pounds if memory serves. Then there was the BAR and the Browning air-cooled.
Oh yeah, in addition to my hunting rifle I also carry up and down the steep Idaho and Washington mountains either a Glock 20 with extra mag, or a compact .45 with extra mag, but I’d almost forgotten.
Boo hoo. It’s not the weight of the guns that’ll give you a stroke– it’s carrying out that deer or elk carcass. But granolas wouldn’t know about such things, so I give ’em a break. I don’t know how many uppity granolas have snowshoed up a mountain trail with a 40 pound pack in the Canadian Rockies when it’s -15 F outside, at night, either. And then there was the time…
