442 Lock Failure
New to the forum, not new to S&W as I've owned a model 28 in 357 for a long time.
I recently purchased new, a 442 airweight with the lock. It will be the wife's legal CC piece. I hear lots of horror stories about the lock and problems, locking by itself. This 442 has never, since we've owned, been locked intentionally by either of us. I will never intentionally lock this gun. We've fired a couple hundred rounds of regular ammunition through it with no problems. Have not fired +P.
Question: Has there been any documentation of a J frame with lock actually locking on its own? Or is this just talk?
Thanks for any actual reports.
I would think if this is actually a problem Smith would be working on a recall as the liability would be unbelievable. So, fact or fiction
Thanks,
