Who knows if Meriden would have ended up putting them in if THEY had built the guns. Or if it is something that was just on the original engineering print and later left out of production.

I don’t remember ever having seen a lightened hammerless 0-frame. We see lightening cuts on most (but not all) 0-frame 16 gauge hammer guns but that practice apparently wasn’t continued on the hammerless models until the 00-frame was introduced.
