For curiosity sake....Do the N Frame Revolvers in .44 and .45 ACP share the same barrel? IE the Model 29 vs. Model 25, same barrel or different dimensions in rifling?

Yeah I just wondered...what about 10mm, .41 and .40?

    Does a pinned barrel S&W revolver demand a higher premium than the non-pinned barrel?What are the advantages of the pinned barrel?When did they change?

    There's no intrinsic value to a pinned barrel. Some people like them because guns were made with more hand fitting and polishing in the old days. However, modern unpinned barrels will hold up just fine.Neal

    Thanks, I had some older S&W guns 17's, 27's, and 29's never really bothered to ask the difference. I figured it was easier (and cheaper) to manufacture the crush fit barrels as opposed to the pinned barrels.
