It's easy for manufacturers to do in this age of CNC machining. The Instagram generation, ignorant as they are, choose appearances over performance.

Gotta keep the other half of the box in case they, you know, ever need to "use it".
There's nothing like having huge gaps in the slide of your pistol. It's not as if these holes allow debris into the pistol- including particles of whatever which are big enough and stout enough to create malfunctions. It's all academic for most people, though. We're no longer a nation of shooters; we're a nation of firearms fashion models.
Accurate. Very accurate. This nation has become a populace of 'look at me' on instagram. Few focus on being proficient with their guns. It's all about appearance. Similar is the preponderance of idiot gun channels on youtube making a living doing stupid shit with guns. |

one of the many reasons I left FB was most of the weapons posts were, " do these grips make my gun look fat ? " " what color grips go best with my...." you get the gist |
