[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 970078, member: 69478"] Well I looked over all of the contour dimensions and the Light Palma seems to be lighter than the #5 contour because of how it is cut. The #5 stays straight for 3" before it begins to taper while the Light Palma is only straight for 2". The #5 also doesn't taper as much as the Light Palma. All of these factors leads to added metal in certain places on the #5 contour where the Light Palma is slimmer in certain spots in the contour excluding the larger muzzle diameter. Both contours are so similar in weight and dimensions, other than the .100 thousandths bigger muzzle on the Light Palma, that either choice will be satisfactory and work great. [/QUOTE]
