I owned an Italian-made replica of a Walker Colt at one time. It was huge and weighed a ton. Only felt like it weighed a ton. . . 9 ½ pounds loaded. Fun to shoot. Tongue of flame for fifteen feet from the muzzle! WHEEEEE!

Correction, make that 4 ½ pounds. Misremembering. I was recalling another gun I had. Still heavy.

The surprising things are the report and the recoil. The report is more of a “WHUMP!!” than the instantaneous, hard, high-pitched “CRACK!” you get from a .357 mag. and the recoil is more of a hard push than a sudden, instantaneous wallop.
