Were some model barrels pinned and not pinned on the same model?

  From the American Rifleman:
  ""A pinned barrel refers to an actual steel pin that goes through the frame and a notched rear portion of the barrel, and it was originally intended to help anchor the barrel to the frame in both magnum and some non-magnum revolvers. This feature first appeared around 1899 on some of Smith & Wesson?s earliest Hand Ejector models, but was discontinued?along with recessed cylinder?in 1982 as being too costly and unnecessary.
  
  Nonetheless, many S&W shooters and collectors consider pre-1982 P&R Smiths to be more desirable than guns without these features, even though similar post-1981 models without recessed cylinders and pinned barrels are every bit as safe.""
