Future plans for the Integrated Lock ?

[Denver Dick]

As I think about this situation, and as I acquire more pre-lock, pre-MIM revolvers, the more I don't want S&W to get rid of the IL. If they did, my collection might loose some value.

Besides, it's more fun to hunt down a lovely "PRE" revolver on consignment somewhere than to just walk in and plop down money for a current production model.

It's not just that the IL is ugly, it's THAT IT FAILS on occasion, rendering the gun unable to be shot.

It is then like an empty fire extinguisher, a life jacket stuffed with rocks or a motorcycle helmet made of egg shells.

I have some S&W's with the IL, but it is because they are models and calibers unavailable without the lock, and I consider them to be toys, not weapons I would use for self defense.

I won't buy a lock revolver now. I hope S&W loses sales and management drops the lock. Absolutely worthless.
