Whew, must be late. I forgot "trigger." Thanks, Slims.

Wine bottle shaped? Dunno, I'm not an expert on gun terms, but it's like this:
Bull Barrel Example
Idea is that the muzzle end is fat to lock up to the slide while the skinny chamber end allows the gun to unlock and get all wobbly to do that famous M1911 pumpkin-launching magic. Bull barrels do away with the need for a barrel bushing which removes a moving part that requires fitting from the gun.
I'm totally in favor of this because it reduces the silly "I'm touching this AND this" fitting cycle that screws up your possible accuracy: "The barrel is touching the bushing which is touching the slide. Fit the bushing to the slide and the bushing to the barrel." The better idea: "The barrel locks into the slide. Fit those two together."
