Looks great

The lock is one of the main reasons I haven’t bought a new one. I don’t like the way it looks.

I didn’t know they could be disabled/removed. I have watched a couple videos on it. I wish Smith wouldn’t make them with the lock at all. And since some J frames have no lock, why can’t they add this to the rest of the lineup so that if you don’t want it, then it’s gone.

Are the new S&W revolvers with the lock as good as the old ones without? Have you experienced or known someone who has experienced the lock locking up due the recoil of a magnum?

I wish they didn’t have it because it is rather unsightly. I just wonder if it’s any reason not to own one with a lock vs no lock.
