Like... a Detonics? LOL.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, longer pistols have an easier natural pointability. This is the ability to point the gun towards a target without having a solid sight picture, and still be able to land the shot relatively close to the target. The longer length lends a longer sight radius. It's like being able to snap shoot with a rifle without looking directly down the sights.

There is merit to your concern, and is why some builders use shorter length barrels. As an example, the BCG ProSx uses a 4.5" barrel to bring the overall length closer to a Government length once compensated. With the light weight STI ThunderComp, it handles much more like a Government length, despite still being almost 2" longer. The length is kept, to maintain the above-mentioned natural pointability.
