What is the last "Dash #" of these models that still have the hammer mounted firing pin and no lock ?

Looks like the -5 (1997) is when Smith went to the floating firing pin with flat hammer also MIM trigger.
The -6 (2002) was the Internal lock system.
This is according to the SCSW.

For 686s the -4s would be the last of the hammer mounted firing pin.
The -5s don't have the lock but, they have the frame mounted(floating) firing pin.
