Jayson here and thanks for the responses. I have been thinking about this for a couple of days now and just wanted to make certain it was a good idea to use something to simulate carrying a weapon.
I am leaning more towards using PVC tubing as I can add and subtract weight as needed. As mentioned carrying a C9 (I mistakenly typed C6) was challenging for me. Ultimately I will be carrying a C6 which is even heavier. My imagination is somewhat bonzer and I am certain I can put some type of handle and sling into this "fake weapon" to make carrying it more 'authentic'. I will have the most original "good dog stick" on the block. Thanks once again.
