I love the way Smith and Wesson only photograph the right hand side of their revolvers so as not to show that crap lock they insist on using.  Note the pistols show the left hand side of the frame as no lock hole is present on the frame.  They realize it is a negative yet they, or their lawyers, insist on placing a keyhole into the side of the frame for "safety" purposes.  Tell that to the poor bastard who has the gun lock up on him while shooting a round of 454 Casull or 500 S&W at a charging brown bear.  It's really a ridiculous concept.

I have not, nor will ever buy a revolver of theirs containing such a stupid and dangerous device.  I'll stick with used, pre-lock era S&W revolvers, thank you very much.  The Lemon Squeezer is the only current S&W revolver I would consider as they, thankfully, left the lock off of that one given its grip safety.  Furthermore, I'm not sure how you have a reintroduction of prior "Classic" Smiths that now include a frame lock.....something that never existed originally.

Bane posted a link to a YouTube vid a while back on his blog about how to take ou tthe lock..... he said it was a pretty easy procedure.

Good to know Eric. As far as I'm concerned a revolver, or a pistol, needs two saftey devices. Something that will keep it from going off if you drop it, and an operator who knows to keep his damn finger off the trigger until its time to fire. That's why I carry a Glock rather than a 1911. Its also why I had no problems with a 3 screw Blackhawk, as long as the hammer was over an empty chamber. Anything else, locks, grip safeties, magazine safties, mechanical safeties, etc seem to be unneccesary and avoidable failure points.
FQ13 Who believes that "keep your booger hook off the bang switch" is a classic for a reason. Its a damned weapon for God's sake, not a toy! Who would want something that makes it harder to deploy? One simple safety rule or endless layers of fallible mechanical crap that can and will fail the one time you actually need the damned thing? Rant over.

CDR, while I agree with you on the lock I have to point out that the reason the guys pistol locked up was because the recoil caused the bullet to work out of the casing far enough to jam up the works.
