I am trying to find the loaded weight of a Sig 245, Glock 21sf, and Glock 21.

All I can find is empty weights.

Anyone here happen to know?

all guns will vary with the many types of weights of bullets.

why not weigh some rounds of your fav 45 and add them to the weight of the gun? that way the weigh you seek will be the ones with the bullets you want to use.

Apparently math is hard.

85 grain case + 5 grains powder + 230 grain bullet = 420 grains/cartridge.
420 grains / 437.5 grains/oz = .96 oz.

Close enough to one ounce Avoirdupois per .45 acp cartridge.

Apparently Math IS hard ... 85 + 5 + 230 = 320

It's the thought that "counts"
