1C-1D-1H would show a WNT with better hearts than spades (or equal) and 1S a WNT with better spades than hearts? That seems way too restrictive.
In reality you can bid 1M with any hand where you don't mind your partner passing, and given that he'll only pass with 0-4 (with 5+ he can bid 1N or raise you or 1S over 1H), you can definitely bid 1M (intending to rebid 2M) with 17-19(20) and 5M.

We bid 3+c M as 1M with weak NT hands.
Yes, good. My question still stands.

Yeah, I see the point, could actually do that.

Well, we usually pass with 4 card support and even 5-7 after 1C-1D-1M.

This makes it extremely easy for the opponents to balance into the auction (after all your point range is ~11-21 at that point, who would not balance?).

Well, don't do that, it's silly.
