Steel frame compact question

[glock19er]

Is the weight difference really noticeable on the steel frame compact compared to the alloy frame compact?
I have a chance to pick a compact steel frame for a great price but I don't really want a super heavy gun.
Thanks

A steel frame compact is hefty, the the ones with a rail actually weigh more than a full size 75b

I would say : YES
However it depends, how you feel gun in your hand, how you grip the gun.
Weight difference between alu and steel frame is about 5oz - 6 oz. Is it much?
For me it was. I've shot polymer PPQ (22 oz.) and decided to switch it for heavier pistol. Steel CZ75 Compact's weight was too much for me (about 33 oz.).
My choice now is alu CZ P-01 (about 28 oz.) and that's the weight I love.

So from my perspective the weight difference is really noticeable.

My CZ75 Compact Steel 9mm (99021) with mag empty weighs 38.12oz

My measurements were done WITHOUT magazine and WITH stock polymer guide rods.

I bought it even though it's just a tad heavier that my PCR and P01. Also bought a new P-07 OD.
Thanks for your input guys!

Sweet! You are going really enjoy those

I love all of my CZ’s but carry my steel compact most since it’s what I seem to shoot best.

I don’t really notice the weight difference between my steel P-01 and my P-07 when carrying - or shooting.

The steel frame is my favorite to shoot. I like the weight.

Same here.  I can't tell what's on my hip till I pull it out of the holster.  Then what I notice is the feel of the grooves in the front/rear of the frame on the P01.  It's not the weight.

The only time I notice the weight is when I'm cleaning them and I field strip the P01.  When I pick the frame up to clean it I realize it's "light" and think, yeah, P01, aluminum, and then go on with the cleaning.
