The answer to your question was posted on page 23.

To my mind, that would have made more sense.
Or am I missing something?
One can't be sure what Bill Ruger was thinking at the time he designed it. But perhaps between being a black powder gun and being built for longevity, the powder fouling and any corrosion could have interfered with a spring-loaded detent functioning properly in the long run.
And maybe the way that it's designed provides more surface bearing area to hold the pin securely.
