hodaka- If you were to take a Heavy good quality barrel and it's equal in skinny. Put them in the same hands. There would be no difference in accuracy. The accuracy issue only shows up in rapid fire ( barrel warm up). The diameter of the barrel has no affect on accuracy. The side affects of a heavy barrel do, but the barrel does not.

I think you are meaning because it is heavier, It recoils less, easier to hold steady on target after shot,and is more steady. Those are side affects of a heavy barrel, it has nothing to do with the barrel being a bigger diameter.
