You have, in a way, confirmed my thoughts on if a true pro, (which Mr. Miculek clearly is...) had to deal with that growingly unpopular lock what would his solution be?
I know, I know: another lock-hater...
I realize there's a 98% chance I would never have a problem with a IL model...it's just that 2% that itches.
IMHO it's a shame because S&W is making some of the nicest variants of their wheel guns right now...today.
Anyway...thank you for the interesting post.

I do not really have a big problem with the lock, as I have removed it from my two every day carry pieces.
I agree with the 500 mag guy that the new wheel guns are fantastic... The modern materials, quality workmanship and machining are cutting edge. I have recently acquired a 327 M&P R8 and it is truly a legendary weapon.
I wanted the community to know the pedestrian observation I made regarding the stupid locking flag, and clearly achieved my goal. In short, I think the lock sucks. However, I am glad that the Smith engineers made it easily circumventable.
