This was my answer to the lock on my 617

In that case you should probably should keep your locks. In fact you might want to keep your guns locked in your safe if you are that worried about liability.

I've got thee or four with the lock now. I've owned others in the past. It worries me about as much as the chance of being hit by a steamship in the parking lot this morning. I keep a key on my keyring, right next to a P-38 can opener. I've never used either one. I don't even think they're any uglier than any other screw, or pin in the side of the gun. They've been there so long, I just expect them to be. As an aside...There are old S&W's that have a pin in just about the same place.



On the other hand if you don't like it, take it out.

I want to apologize to you, I may have come off as being a smart aleck and that wasn't my intention. I just know that this is a caution that always gets thrown out on any modifications to original firearms. I hope I don't live to see the day that guns have to be kept in a locked house, in a locked safe, with a trigger lock installed. I'm probably old enough that I won't.
