I did a search for this, but couldn’t find it here. Does anyone have a link to a list of what the various barrel assemblies weigh? I have a 4 and 6 inch vent barrel, so I could weigh those, but I would like a list of the other combinations weights. This would make it very easy to compare the weight and recoil energy of different combinations. Thanks.

While it doesn't say what the weight of the actual barrel & shrouds by themselves are, this freshly scanned brochure* tells the combined weight of each barrel length with gun included. This is for the .38 & .357 guns.

Thanks Charger Fan! That work just fine, I can just compute the differences between the guns and come up with the barrel weights.

Hey Quincy,
Once you compute the differences if you have time post back so we'll have a record of it.
Thanks,

Here you are guys. These are calculated from the PDF above. My 4" barrel is the same at 8 ounces, but my 6" vented is slightly heavier at 11.85 ounces. My frame is also 28.50 ounces, whereas from the above is would be 28 ounces. I suspect the weight is close enough for most of what we need. For those of you that are really picky, the front sight is .10 oz (3 grams) and the barrel nut is the same. My frame with the checkered target grip and the 4" barrel (not heavy or vented) weighs 36.75 oz and and with its 6" vented barrel weighs 40.63 oz. If you have any questions, post it here and I will do my best to answer them.

| Vent | 4 | 7 | 11 | 15 | 21 | 26 3/4 | 30 3/4 |
| Vent/Heavy | 4 | 9 | 14 | 19 | 27 1/2 | 33 1/4 | 41 3/4 |
