Default What is the lightest 1911?

What is the most lightweight full size 1911 one can find on the market?

My guess would be the S&W Scandium 1911.

I believe that's probably correct too. The Wilson Combat polymer framed 1911 weighs in at 32.8 oz. unloaded and I believe the S&W 1911 SC is only 28 oz. unloaded. I could always be wrong... I'm interested to hear what others have to offer up.
