Why should it get closed, shouldazagged? The OP is posting about a real problem he encountered and not something he just heard. And he is saying that he is going to remove the lock and not ranting on and on about new revolver quality or whining incessantly about the locks like some do. And I can understand his concern about the lock engaging on his self defense gun. As a matter of fact, it makes me think twice about removing the lock out of my wife's model 60. As that is her self defense gun at the house while I am 750 miles away at work for 2 weeks at the time. The lock is in it for now, but I can see myself removing it in the near future.

Ralph G. Briscoe, thanks for posting up about the lock engaging on your gun and not ranting on and having a hissy fit about it.
