The more I read about the lock mechanism on the new Smiths the more concerned I get. I read the sticky on it and realize that a lot of purists don't like it. I don't particularly care for it either as far as looks go. However, my chief concern is if it's caused many "lock ups" of failures of any type. I don't need a pistol that won't shoot when I squeeze the trigger. What's the overall consensus on this? How far back in models do I have to go to get a 686 without it? Do I need to be looking for a used pistol at an upcoming gun show? Need some expert advice from you knowledgeable folks.
