Now what is the deal with the pinned barrel issue? I mean I know the pin secures the barrel. But what is the draw back of one with a non pinned barrel?
The non-pinned barrel makes the revolver less expensive to manufacture.

Collectors like the pinned barrels because they're traditional, and they represent an old-school spare-no-expense labor-intensive manufacturing philosophy.

It doesn't make one iota of difference in the way the gun shoots.
