Hawg, I can tell you've looked on the scoreboard and seen who 's behind, and in the absense of the facts and the law, have resorted to pounding on your desk again.

Nah, no desk pounding here. No need to, the facts are behind me not you. It's futile to keep this up. Lets move on.

My cylinder pin will just fall out if tipped down at half cock with the lever down. What did they expect would retain the pin? Were any alterations made to retain the pin in the 2nd model?

There were some attempts to thread a set screw into the pin itself and have it seat against the barrel but that just made it harder to disassemble
The second model or model 1861 was a transitional model that underwent several changes during its production run. The safety notches were added and the milled lever was added and removed, the frame was cut back so barrel threads were exposed to lessen fouling which the Beals was infamous for. All these changes evolved into the 1863 model we know today as the 1858 Remington.
