Locks did not come on the scene until Smith & Wesson was purchased by lock maker Saf-T-Hammer in May of 2001. Locks were slowly incorporated into th existing firearm designs.
However new designs (2001 and later) incorporated the lock right from the start
Unfortunately the Model 619 was not introduced until 2005. So there are no pre-lock examples of the firearm
Cosmetically most of us do not like the lock but I have never let the lock stand in the way of purchasing a model that was never available any other way.

I am pretty sure 7 round cylinders and locks are synonymous.

Seven round cylinders have no connection to locks.
What in the world would make you think these two things were tied together
The first seven round 357 Magnum Smith & Wessons appeared on the scene in 1995
