My recent (last ten years or so) experience has been different, although I prefer a plug to the lock, but I can sympathize with your attitude. Back in the early seventies, I had to search through a lot of gun stores to find a decent Model 63. I did eventually find one, but I sold it in the mid eighties for no good reason. I have since replaced it with 34s and a 43.
Actually, I think your idea is a good one, although I have to admit that when the 642 first came out, back when Centennials hadn't been made for a few years, I bought one with a known timing problem and had the dealer send it straight back to S&W. It came back OK, and I still have it, barring any tragic boating accidents.
