Wikipedia says the model 619 & 620 came out in 2005-2009. Smith & Wesson put key locks on their guns in 2001. Someone in the S&W forum posts said, they had a pre-lock model 620.??? A person on another internet gun list in Boise is selling a 620 and says it was mfg. in 1991, but it has a key lock. My questions are: When exactly was the 620 introduced and produced? When exactly did the key locks begin on S&W guns? Thank you

Production began in 2005. Page 252 of SCWS 3rd Edition. I *think* production stopped in 2011? It's not listed in the current S&W catalogue of products.

You either saw two typos or confused writers :). There is no pre-lock model 620 but there are two types of model 520s, a prelock fixed sight N frame .357 from 1980 and a 7-shot L frame with a titanium alloy cylinder from 2005. Or they were thinking of something else entirely...
