Question

Hello pluggies!

I wrote to S&W a week ago, asking if they would consider making a Model 649 without The Lock, and got a response back from a fellow that said they *have* to make them with The Lock or they would not be able to sell the guns in many states.

I had not heard that reason before, do you fine folks know if that is truly the case?

I carry an old Model 49, and shoot the .38 Special 158 grain +P lead hollow point semi-wad-cutters out of it, and those seem rough on the poor baby. It is developing quite a bit of end-shake, and I would love to replace augment it with a nice stainless Model 649.

Now that I see there is a plug available, maybe I'll be able to live that dream!
