Interesting that you feel that way, Jay. What do you base your opinion on? In my realm of shooting and rubbing shoulders with shooters I have not found that to be the case. I think it's just another excuse.

Rocketman has proven that handling dynamics is far more important than weight. Where the weight is located on the gun can make a 5# gun have very close to the same handling characteristics as another 7# gun. Again, where the mass is located on the gun means far more than weight itself. For example, he spun my 4.8# Yildiz .410, that I pictured with the doves, and told me that it had almost the exact same handling characteristics as the classic 12 ga. English game gun, which would come in around 6 to 6.5#.
