Default Model 29-10 Classics - Why are they hated so much?

So, I've been after a LNIB older Model 29 but can't seem
to find a nice one locally, and many can't be imported into
California unless the specific model is on the Claif. DOJ
"approved" guns list.

So, that brings me to the new production Model 29/629's
with the "lock". So my question is why are these
new models so "undesirable" by most folks?
I understand the politics that is the reason for the locks...

I'm an old guy and have some older LNIB models that I've
owned for more than 20 years, so I know what they look like,
feel like, and perform.

But are the new models really that bad? What's all the fuss
about?

There is a NIB Model 29-10 not to far from here and I'm
seriously thinking of buying it. I've looked at it
closely and it seems to me that the fit and finish is as good
older models I've seen...

What do folks really think about the newer models?
