yes, an extra barrel band does make it a bit heaver!!I have a Euroarms 2-band I've owned for a number of years. Shoots well and fairly accurate. Found it in unfired condition at a local gun show for $300.00. I haven't shot it for a couple years now, but plan on doing so soon. I'm sure glad I never sold it. Since I turned 70, all the guns seem heavier now. LOL The 2-band is a bit lighter and the position of the rear sight is a help for older eyes.
