Weight definitely comes into play unless you're the size of

An NFL linebacker. With spare mags you could easily be carrying 4 - 5 pounds on your belt and then there is the bulk factor. As best I can, I try to stay out of those places where I need to go loaded for bear. I tend to carry my Airweight Smith or LCP if and when I do carry a backup gun. Actually, depending on circumstances, they might be the first gun (hand in pocket on gun) I pulled and my "backup" a 9mm or 45.
