Mine is a Rock Island Armory M1911A1FS- Tact II, chambered in 10mm. Weighing in at 2 lbs 8 & 3/8oz, unloaded, no magazine.

Oops, nope...sorry. That’s just the heaviest semi-auto.
Just got to the revolver section;
6” Colt King Cobra (original).
2lbs 15& 3/4oz

My case hardened Magnum Research DE50 comes in at 4 lbs. 12 oz. It's a cannon...for your hands.

I'd say most people's heaviest pistol is gonna include the initials AR.

STs probably coming in second.

Adams Arms 7.5" AR Pistol in 5.56mm

PC- Im not a big fan of Desert Eagles, but DAMN!!! That one is pretty! I've always had a thing for case hardened.


To answer the OP- Probably my S&W 4506-1. It's a boat anchor. however, a real smooth shooting .45

Ruger Alaskan 454 Casull.
Just checked Ruger's website and it says it's 44oz/2.75 pounds.
What's odd is that it lists the 44 mag version 1 oz heavier for some reason.

That Ruger Alaskan is quite the “boom stick”.

Also as much as I am not a “deagal” fan that case hardening is the tits. There is something about that old school method that really works on modern semi autos.

Ruger GP 100 @ 40oz.

My heaviest handgun is a 10” Freedom Arms Model 83 Premier Grade in .454, which checks in at 55.84 ounces unloaded, according to the factory.

My heaviest semi-auto is a 5” Pardini GT9 INOX (steel frame variant), which weighs right around 55 ounces with an empty magazine.

Beretta 92X Performance reportedly at 49.5 oz!

Ruger MK II Target, stainless steel w/ 5 1/2" bull barrel @ 41 oz. Redhawk .45 Colt, stainless steel w/ 4.2" barrel @ 46 oz.

My Dan Wesson 445 Supermag with a 10" barrel and a 4x nikon scope on top is rivaled by my S&W 8" 460 magnum.
My 30/30 Contender 14" is probably heavier but I always shoot that from a bench.

T/C Encore 15" 44mag

Without a scale I can't weigh them, but I don't have any heavy handguns. They are all polymer or aluminum frames/receivers. I suppose the heaviest would be the alloy-frame CZ P-01.

Smaller chamber holes in the same diameter cylinder = more metal in the cylinder = heavier.

My Smith Model 57.

My MPX is six pounds. Some of the AR pistols are aa bit lighter, I think.

Other than that, my .41 redhawk, and perhaps the CZ bull shadow.

I think that would be my P220 Sport, at 46 oz. My Dan Wesson blued 6" Vent Rib .357 Mag, around 44 oz. isn't far behind.

 
My SIG P220-10mm SAO Elite model weighs 44 oz with an empty mag, making it just over the limit for IDPA. That is the heaviest handgun I own.

Mine is my Ruger Redhawk .45 Colt/ACP weighing in at 44oz.
