Well, the extra weight does lessen recoil, but every time you move the shotgun you have to overcome the inertia of all that weight, so there's a definite trade off. Shotgun handling is all about balance and a 7 round magazine filled with shotshells already makes for a pretty barrel heavy gun. There's no need to make it more so with a heavy barrel.
