I don't have a gun with a lock yet,I may nab a newer mod with one though....I can use the lock however.
The reason I lock my revolver is....
To mess with anyone I hand the gun to to try out,lock it before I hand it to them and watch the fun when they can't get it to go off!

The reason I lock my revolver is; to keep it from going off in the shower.

My lock actually came in handy this year at Christmas.
I was staying at my parents house. Everyone was in chill mode and I wanted to dress as comfortably as possible and really relax..(loose fitting pants after a big meal)
There were lots of kids (some I didn't know well) running around everywhere, and I was worried about one of them going through my stuff where the gun was stored.
That being said, I'll still likely remove my lock. The #1 reason I bought this gun (360PD) is that it will fire when the trigger is pulled.
I wish I could be 100% sure about the lock not mal-functioning, but I cant. Are there any failure stories?

My buddies brother in law had a Taurus 38 with the internal hammer lock
He was showing his buddy how it worked & shot a +P round off in the kitchen deafening everyone, luckily he had the gun pointed in a safe direction & now has a hole threw his cabinets & wall to the outside..
This alone is a good enough reason to not have such Micky Mouse junk added to guns..

In the pre lock days I bought 6 Master Lock trigger locks all keyed the same (look for the number stamped on the key.) I put them on two loaded shotguns and two loaded handguns secreted in the house and my shop. I then glued magnets onto a couple of keys and hid them in proximity to the guns. Why go to this trouble?....I have always been concerned about children and unknowledgeable adults finding them or coming home and having an intruder using one of my own guns on me. The rest of my guns are in a gun safe.
I kinda like the IL but, like some others I have been flabergasted to find I was carrying the gun locked on one occasion....I now know to double check.
(You didn't make that mistake w/ the MasterLock)

So if it falls into the hands of children, mental defectives, or gun control advocates they don't injure themselves or others.

Are you people nuts?
THANK HEAVEN FOR THAT LOCK!!!!!!!.
See, I made a decision that I need to get more carbon in my diet, y'know?
(Helps keep ya reg'ler.)
Turns out I kinda like that metallic taste of stainless, too.
SO, I can get my carbon intake AND clean the muzzles of my Smiths at the same time just by chewin 'the carbon off of 'em.
Now think about it, if that lock weren't there, maybe a round could go off in the process.
'Specially for me 'coz I like to do it most while I'm drivin'. Pothole could be a life-changin' experience right there, boy lemme tell ya...

I have a 6-year-old boy
I'm thankful for the internal lock. I have a son, and someday I'd like to teach him how to shoot and and hunt, and enjoy firearms. But first I have to get him successfully through the next 10 to 15 years of being impulsive, and work with him to develop good judgment, discipline, and responsibility.
When they are not being carried on my person, I lock the guns with their internal locks. I put the guns in the lock box inside the safe (and lock it). I lock the safe. I lock the door to that room. I lock the ammo in a separate place.
I bought the guns to protect my family. Paradoxically, I also have to protect the family from the guns. That's what a responsible guy does. This has been a real funny thread, and you guys are real humorous about gun locks. But the internal lock is about keeping the firearm safe from a curious child. Period.

jamesjames...welcome to the forum!
I typed and then retyped a reply and question for you regarding your statement above but I couldn't quite phrase it in a way that I felt sure you would receive as I truly intended....so, welcome to the forum and keep that family of yours interested in the shooting sports. They'll be safer in the long run with more education (and someday perhaps fewer locks).

The reason to lock the revolver is to be able to start threads like this one that go on for eight pages, and hopefully, Lee or one of the other moderators will put a lock 
on it to put a stop to the increasingly stupid topic the dreaded lock has become.

I wonder how many times S&W has been sued for some poor soul being shot "accidently" by a pre-lock gun? Could you sue them if your life was in danger and you couldn't defend yourself because your gun was locked? Not that I'd have to worry about it, I only have one with the hole and it's been pluged!

Amen to that thought brother.
