This describes me, but in all honesty I can't say it's principally because I'm afraid the gun will not go bang. My main reasons are:
1. It looks ugly.
2. Revolvers without an internal lock seem to hold their value or appreciate more than those without it.
3. It ticks me off that S&W rolled over and gave in to the Clinton administration's strong arm tactics. The lock is a constant reminder.
4. I've always suspected it's just another area to collect lint and dirt.
5. I don't feel I need it. In other words, it isn't a feature that I feel I need. I MIGHT feel different if I had rug rats running around the house, and no better way to secure the gun.
