Even if a micro compact pistol with a threaded barrel will make it front heavy when an accessory is attached, The Firearm Blog was able to list 5 reasons to use it...

Who cares about threading a tiny micro-compact like the Hellcat, or SIG P365, or FN Reflex, or whatever other micro-compacts are out there? Nic gives 5 compelling reasons (ok maybe only a couple of them are compelling) why in today’s video."
