Hi:
What S&W current model revolvers do not have the "Lock" ?

Guns with no exposed hammers.... Centennial frames only.

One example would be the Model 642. Certain ones.

That's it. There aren't any others, and there hasn't been any for 15 years.

Do all of the current metal framed Bodyguards have the lock?

All the current non-lock models are J frame Centennials:

442-1 and Pro Series
642-1 and Pro Series
640 Pro Series

I believe the rimfire centennials can be found without the lock too.

Its a Centennial model and I haven't checked the factory website, but I believe you can still get the 340 in a non-lock. Not sure if both MP and PD though.

My EDC, a 340 M&P (centenial model), is a no lock. I'm not comfortable w/a lock on a self defense gun.

Looks like just J frames Jimmy. What model are you looking for?

 

[Kernel Crittenden]

If someone has a post 2002 non Centennial Smith without a lock, I'd love to see it and I'd love to see the Box label.

Since it's not a Centennial frame, all the metal frame Bodyguards in current production have locks.

I made a recent purchase on a new 351c and it didn't have the lock. I think both the 351 and 351c don't have them.

It's the 351c and 43c in rimfire. Centennials both.

If you can’t find the S&W Rev. which you want w/out the internal lock, you could get the model which you want and just re-move the internal lock and put a plug in the hole. (Save the removed part, it can be re-installed for re-sale)

Lock? What lock!?

 

[old-school]

The deactivation of the internal safety, but leaving the appearance of having a lock could be a problem (if someone think that they lock the action, but it is still hot)

642s are an interesting Centennial revolver. The 642 with product code 103810 were no-lock till end of 2001. Then the 642 had the lock till the end of 2007, and then product code 103810 came back; a no-lock 642, from 2008-2015/present. You get a 642 Airweight 38+p rated, 5 shot, alu. frame,SS cylinder and SS barrel,all silver finish (case colored trigger,smooth) 15oz. total weight, genuine S&W revolver with no-lock..and they are available for around $325!

Did you shoot it with the factory stocks? What did you think of them?

 

[Breakaway500]

Surprisingly,the rubber stocks are very comfortable, even using +P loads.I can keep 5 rounds of hurried fire in a 3" circle at 20 feet.Out of the box trigger is fine. It's also handsome,in a natural way. No paint. Just metal. Simple to load and fire.No "safeties". Seems to pattern loads close to point of aim. It has a great natural pointability for me. I am very enamored with this model revolver,and at the price, it's an absolute steal. Using 38 Specials,it's a fun plinker! The only way to be proficient with a firearm is to shoot it..often.

The M&P340 as well as the 340PD are produced without the ILS.
