Dash 5 had no internal lock.

Major changes were internal firing pin, yoke retention.

Dash 5 has the frame mounted firing pin and no lock. The dash 6 has the lock.

My bad on confusing the -5 having the lock. I strongly prefer that my S&W revolvers have flash chromed hammers and triggers and firing pin on the hammer. I did not mean to disparage those who do not share my view.

Just comes down to personal choice.
