It weighs 23 ounces (unloaded) which is only one ounce more than the Walther PPK. And in power equivalency, it's equal to a snubbie revolver in 357 Magnum.
The action is very much like a Glock, except that it has a long trigger pull (like a double action revolver) instead of that little lock-out built into the trigger that the Glock has. The trigger pull is light and very smooth. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it's a pain in the butt to disassemble. It comes apart just like the S&W Model 39, but with its heavy recoil spring, it's difficult to hold the slide back when you push out the dissassembly/slide-lock pin. And the pin is hard to push out as well.
It's a very reliable gun that works well in an ankle holster.
The magazine holds five rounds with a sixth round (safely) in the chamber, and it has a steel frame instead of plastic.
