More No Lock revolvers coming!

[545x39]

No, fortunately.

seems to me that if ruger can get away with not having locks on those, or on the LCP, then what is smiths problem?

i understand that a lock company bought them, but seriously... when your "safety improvements" can lock a gun up and make it unable to fire when needed, or in the case of the short firing pins, making a weapon that someones life could depend on into what is essentially a paperweight at best, or a deathtrap at worst.

when your core customer group (law enforcement) cannot even carry your newly improved product due to safety concerns, you've got problems.

hopefully after all these years of their customers griping, maybe smith has opted to go in for surgery and get that cranial anal extraction done.

i guess im preaching to the choir lol

I might need to have a 340PD with no lock.

Every time I press the trigger of my 340PD with full 357s on-board, I secretly kinda hope the IL will malfunction......

+1...I've always wanted one of these, but the IL+Weight+Recoil = a little bit of nervousness from me. It'll be nice if these things find their way out west anytime soon

No, fortunately.

I thought new production SP101 and GP100's added a key lock UNDER The grips? I guess I was wrong... I better be more open minded to ruger.

I am very fortunate that I do not live in an area where locks are mandatory, as such, I will not buy any guns that have a lock. Hopefully S&W does start to offer more of their revolvers (especially L & N frames) without the lock. Time will tell.

A few days ago, ordered a 442 NO LOCK from Bud's.

I guess my kid can pay for his own college education, just like I did.

Easy for you to say, Okie, but, as the father of an Ivy League college senior, let me assure you that college costs a little more these days than it did when we were paying our own way. Better have him start studying real hard right now so he can earn a scholarship and slide through without too much debt.

The LCR has one but not the SP101.

So far it looks like only the Double Action only models. Plenty of Pre Locks still out on the market. Had two lock models, both locked up when rapid firing.

Not the best pics, but a couple of current production no-locks.

M&P 340 & 642 Pro (cut for full moon clips).

 

[MOUNTAIN BOB]

Waiting for over a year for the Model 640 Pro Series .357 mg NO LOCK!

When is S&W going to realize there are so many of us waiting for the new 640! with no lock.
Come on S&W get with it. For those who WANT the lock version, give it to'em but get some "no lock" versions for the rest of us! Anyone here about updated production?

Dump1567,

How difficult do you think it would be to have the cylinder on your M&P 340 cut for moon clips?

I asked my dealer to order a 442 Pro Series, but he said RSR was out of stock. So I'm thinking of getting an M&P 340 and having a gunsmith cut the cylinder for moon clips. Thank you.
