Once again you are applying modern thinking to late 19th century technology. The year was 1900. Were there any pinned barrels on anything? Labor was very cheap. There is no plastic. Parts are hand fitted to each gun. What other means were availble to attach barrels to guns? What was the current technology on other mass produced firearms
at the time? What had been tested and proven to be absolutely reliable for military use? What metalurgy was available at the time? There had never been a 9mm before, not something to experiment barrel attachments with.
