It does add a bit of weight to the gun, right where you want it to help control muzzle flip. I have a .45 and a .38 Super that are set up as alike as possible, and the Super has th FLGR in it, as the smaller-diameter barrel weighs less than the .45 barrel, so the FLGR makes the weight and balance more nearly alike.
FLGRs made out of tungsten add another couple of ounces, if you like some more weight out front.
If you have a rimfire conversion for your centerfire gun, equipping both the a FLGR makes for much easier swapping between the two, as the uppers remain self-contained units when removed from the frame.
