     Well...  Fully loaded (19 rounds, .22 long rifle), I'd say it
masses about 1.5 kilograms.  Close enough?  As for the weight on my
belt, I don't think so.  I carry quite enough extra weight already,
thanks...  ;-)  You should see the pistol.  It looks like something
that came out of a Traveller game.  Competition weapons frequently
do.  Sometimes I feel like Walter Mitty...  ;-)

     Doesn't seem very fair.  My accuracy actually gets *worse* when I
try to use the sights.  Go figure.
