Well, according to one of my reference books, a snaphaunce pistol (the 
predecessor to the flintlock) weighs 1.04kg (2.29 lb) empty, and 1.057kg 
(2.33 lb) loaded. A flintlock from the 1800's (wrong period but it is a 
flintlock) weighs 1.13kg (2.49 lb) empty, 1.148kg (2.53 lb) loaded.

Hope this helps.
