What is the advantage of a heavy slide? I assume the cycling is slower, but how does that translate into increased performance?
Speaking as a layman here:
More weight, particularly on the barrel, means less muzzle flip, which might give you a millimeter or two on the target on a good day, but perhaps more importantly speeds up followup shots. It also means that assuming you're strong enough that it doesn't become detrimental, holding it steady will be easier(simple physics: more energy will be required to move it, due to the increased inertia of higher weight/mass), which is probably where the biggest gain in accuracy lies.
I WANT!
