The biggest difference between 4" and 5" 1911 pistols is the extra inch of sight radius which improves accuracy. IME the accuracy difference between 4" and 5" barrels is not that significant unless you hold/shoot like a machine rest.
Agreed; plus that extra 1" adds to the overall weight and balance of the pistol and I believe helps manage recoil.
