When I was blinded in my right eye (master eye and shooting eye, of course) I sold all my SXS shotguns EXCEPT my RGL. It weighs 6 lbs 9 oz with a straight grip and is just very faintly muzzle heavy. Had looked at three different ones before I purchased the one I have. Excellent fit & finish on this one, the others not so much. I really like it and absolutely don't understand the gripes people have about the safety. Have owned about six or so of the Red Labels and no complaints about the safeties, just too heavy guns. After becoming one eyed I found that SXS barrels blocked too much of my vision. YMMV
