I think a German craftsman would have walked off the job rather then "pin" a barrel in place. The pistol may be over machined by today standards, but isn't that one of the reasone we love them. I have no problems with computer machined and poly/plastic, but I do not believe we can ever replace old world craftmanship. I also do not think "pinning" a barrel was in thier mind set, cheap manufacturing was not the was thier thinking.
