your thoughts on hitch jaws

I had a hyjacker hitch before and when it locked a solid steel bar would slide across locking the king pin. I am installing a reese 16k now that has two "jaws" that come around the king pin leaving the split between the two right in the middle of the king pin where all the pressure of pulling would be. I know it must be safe and strong but the bar idea just seems better to me. Your thoughts.

In 2006 when I bought my first 5th wheel. I spent the money and bought a 25k air safe hitch that has the binkley holland head. I was told that when I latch on to my 5th wheel and then grab the release leaver. If when I try to move it all I have is the 1/8" slack in the pins. It is not coming loose.
