The addition of the stock lug proved beneficial during production, as the frame could be held in place without pressure damage. That is why the military contracts maintained continuation of the lug from 1918-1945. Simson, Mauser, as well as Krieghoff, when they commenced production of Lugers still utilized the lug, long after the stock accessory was considered obsolete.
