Some handguns such as the SW generation 3 pistols from the 1990s have a concave ring around the end of the barrel.
This is fairly unusual around any weapon barrel.
From a structural design standpoint, I realize concave design is sometimes done to add strength. But given that few other guns of any design offer this, why was this done?
An experiment? Given this was rarely copied if ever, can we assume it is not a superior design?
