Yeah, I think so too.
Looking at jaoquinz pictures of his PGC slide, it looks like it was built the same way as the old models of the AS slides. The only purpose that part had was to keep the loading muzzle from shooting too far forward. I suppose at the time, they never thought about the barrel.
Talking to my contact there, he said that the original engineering designs were all based on compensated and/or hybrid type builds (seems that's all they were interested in building at the time for some superbling pistols), which added a 6th & 7th impact point and they would never have any problems with lugs 3 or 4 and they never considered lug 5 until recently when I started ragging on them. lol
