Pinned barrel vs. unpinned barrel

The Smith & Wesson Model 19 was manufactured from 1955-1999. Due to that long production run it was made with both the pinned barrel and unpinned barrel. The pinned feature was phased out in the early eighties. When the company introduced the Smith & Wesson Model 586 in 1980 it was a new model and was never manufactured with the feature. It would have made no economical sense to introduce a feature that was on it's way out.--Jcordell (talk) 14:17, 21 October 2018 (EDT)
