The Colt CG Trophy I carry in a shoulder rig is IIRC 38 ounces unloaded. There's a red frame (aluminum) Colt Defender that I'm interested in that is only 24 ounces. I've been a little wary about the subcompact 1911's, but I shot a friends Kimber last Friday and could probably easily pass an LTC shooting course with one. Although, I did once with my subcompact Glock 27 on my first or second renewal many moons ago,so I'm not really sure why I've been so wary about it. Probably just because I've been carrying full size for so long. Eh!

Re: Small slim guns have ruined me!
I still carry my Glock 21SF with a TLR-1 attacked most of the time. I've even started carrying it when I ride my motorcycle. OC, of course, but that's only when it's warmer and I don't wear my jacket on the bike. If I wear the jacket the jacket doesn't fit right with the Glock, so I'll go shoulder rig and a full size 1911.
I still haven't gotten/found a belt holster for the 1911 yet, but I gotta say that I enjoy shooting the 1911's way more than the Glock. I don't think it would be difficult to say that once I do decide on a belt holster for the 1911's that one of those won't become my EDC. I'm even entertaining the idea of a subcompact 1911.
The weight is not an issue for me yet and the slimness is appealing. I've just been enjoying shooting the 1911's so much more and deriding that Glock trigger whenever I do shoot it and wish it were more like the 1911 triggers.
