I bought a new 629 with a 4" barrel and I bought my wife a model 60 with a 5" barrel about a year ago. They both have locks, and so far they haven't caused any problems. Both guns shoot just like any of my other smiths. We're happy with them, and the model 60 was my wife's first gun that belonged to her. She's shot my 22's, but most of my other guns were too large for her hands. Sorry I don't have any pictures right now. I do have to say that my 629 is one of my favorite handguns.
