I remember being told once a lot of these pistols were rifled because the rifling was thought to 'hold' the ball better, i.e. there was less chance of the ball being shaken down the barrel.

I hear that, Rifling has an unequivocal purpose; improve projectile stability and precision. All other effects, being the case, would be resulting phenomena.
