Permission to be bold graciously granted, Peter. There are different schools, and your application would provide for the greatest strength. Thank you.

In my application, a major goal was to preserve the outward appearance, hence no room for the transverse hole process. Had my firearm been of a high power caliber, I may have reconsidered the goal of preserving outward appearance in favor of utility. Of course, in any application of repair, the cause for the crack must also be addressed.
