I think a more likely option Smith & Wesson would choose would be to redesign the internal lock.

I don't know the mechanics involved, but having a Ruger style internal lock in the grip would look a whole lot better than having a hole above the cylinder release. Could this be done with a leaf spring rather than the coil spring that Ruger uses? The type of spring is the only outward visual difference that I could see.

By the way, Bullseye Smith, I sent you a PM. Jeff Quinn at GunBlast.com would like to review the "Plug."

I would like to see your plug become a successful product.
