It seems like nobody makes a new pistol anymore that uses a JMB inspired set of lugs on the barrel to lock into the slide. All of the new pistols I see have a big squarish slide and lock up on a big squarish chamber hood.
I am curious as to what advantages this system of lock-up gives to either the manufacturers or consumers that has made it so popular?
If the only advantage is ease of manufacturing, I think I'd be willing to pay more for the old JMB style lugs in order to keep the slide as slim as possible.
