My dealer advises me he is getting New 642's made for export without the internal lock. That is all I know. Anybody know any more?

We European communists are more deserving thus we get our S&W revolvers without the internal lock.

Just kidding, on many levels.

It seems that at least the huge German chain www.frankonia.de sells S&W export revolvers that come without the internal lock.

They were not built for export. S&W is making 4000 of them for US sales. Their thinking was that it is a double-action-only, and there is no way that the hammer could be thumb-cocked.

They should start shipping soon, so if you want one, now is the time to put in your order.

Sasu, even with the losey Euro-Dollar exchange rate "Frankonia" has some pretty decent prices on no lock S&W's.

M-15 $361
M-36 $423

The site said it had 110 S&W's in stock, but the link locked up on me at page 3 so I did not see what other models were available.

Maybe they'll make some other Centennials without the lock, like 340's and 640's.
I just sent me dealer an e-mail asking him to order 2 for me, MIM and all. Big Grin

Did you convert in the right direction?

For example 819 euros is $1310. One euro is roughly $1.60 today.

Maybe S&W is catching on. I would take a DAO M21 without the lock.

I hope it happens. I predict Smith will sell boat loads of these if they release them. Maybe they are listening just a bit . . .

Were you looking at the gas and signal revolvers by chance?

They want 819 Euros for a 60-9 Chief special and 1129 Euros for a 686. http://www.frankonia.de/shop//_/search/smith+and+wesson...Revolver/search.html

The rather interesting "Night Hunter" is 1179 Euro. http://www.frankonia.de/shop//_/search/smith+and+wesson...ortiment/search.html

The only thing stopping me from buying a M&P 340 is the lock, if they make one without, I'll be having one.
