I know the chances of failure are remote. But any handgun I've owned has been for defense, not hunting or range duty, and I wouldn't take the chance to own one with the lock in place. I understand the new S&W revolvers are quality products; but if I could buy one (I can't) I would immediately remove the lock and plug the hole. I don't like even remote chances of failure in a gun I might need to save my ancient bacon.
Now I'm counting down till this thread gets closed on the grounds that the subject has (a) been done to death, and (b) it's covered by the Ayoob article.
