To get a fit that is guaranteed to ride the slide stop pin all the way up into battery, you have to go to the old school method of weld build-up on the barrel link lugs and a hand-scraped fit that rounds the corner in contact with the pin.
Or just start with a 'gunsmith fit' barrel that has the feet left oversize for cutting in the frame and slide.

Brownells even sells the lug cutter.

A little filing after cutting and you get a smooth curve and correct lugs.

I use the smaller all the tine and then finish up with a file.
