As others have mentioned, it's very plastic'y feeling. No weight at all until you put the mag in, the mag however is quite nice.

The real FN 5-7 is quite light and feels plasticy as well.
Even loaded the pistol weighs under 800 g

Unloaded its just over 600 g

for those metric challenged.. 1.5 lbs unloaded 1.75 lbs loaded.

by comparison, the G17 is about 150 g heavier loaded
