Just a thought. That should answer the question once and for all.

I haven't contacted Jerry, but if you look at the picture from the bottom link, showing the gun from the rear, it is quite clear that at least the flag is removed. I've seen a clearer picture of the left side of the gun, and it appears that it has been fully de-locked, but it is not as obvious as the missing flag.

If a lock were going to spontaneously tie up a gun, I can think of none more likely than Jerry's. I've seen him shoot in person, and we've all seen the videos. And perhaps more importantly, he KNOWS how they work, so he knows that the lock is a liability. Also, the flag creates a small amount of friction against the hammer, making the action less smooth. Anyone who has seen Jerry's revolversmithing video knows that Jerry is all about friction removal. It surprises me not one bit that his gun is de-locked.
