Internal lock, what is it?

[dgill53]

Hi Folks,
While looking through some YouTube videos I came across one about removing an internal lock on a S&W revolver. Can someone explain the benefits of doing that? Also, while I'm asking questions, does anyone know who makes rubber grips for a model 36, "J" frame with a square butt? Thanks in advance.

I could be wrong, but I think they're referring to the lock that you can use to disable the firearm. Can someone confirm? If that's what is being referred to, some people just don't like them, or feel they are necessary, or trust them to not lock at an inappropriate time.

The old Hillary hole question again and yes lots of people remove the locks and there is a forum member who sells plugs to cover the hole when the lock is removed.

Simple answer: An abomination that makes safe guns unsafe for the user.

. . . or trust them to not lock at an inappropriate time.

Actually it's just the exact opposite! There have been instances when the lock engaged itself. Now, you certainly don't want that to happen when you are trying to defend yourself, do ya?
