The Truth - currently - about the Internal Lock

[Onomea]

I think the transgender illegal alien dwarf also needs to be a vegan person of color who has worked as an inner city community organizer.

This would provide balance and diversity, considering the off duty facist policeman who has surely been trying to boss everyone around when he is not busy demanding receipts at Walmart exits.

Do I hear a consensus on an upcoming GROUP BUY !?

How about some round butt 3" fixed sight model 66's?

Um, I think there are a lot more folks buying guns with locks than there are trying to collect the locks with out. So, I don't think S&W is going to go out of business because a few folks don't want to buy the new stuff.

Based on the ecology of cats and birds and bird droppings on my deck and a few other things, I used to have a strong opinion on the premature death of kittens, but for some reason probably related to its importance to me, I can't remember what it was.

Oldtimer's disease?

Let's get to the real core question. What caliber revolver is more impacted by the internal lock - 9mm or 45 ACP?

I have a solution for the lock issue.........
Stay with me now.......
this is very complex.........


IF you don't like locks, don't buy guns with locks.

IF you like locks, buy guns with locks.

IF you don't really care, buy both.

I realize this issue will require much study, contemplation, discussion, flaming, arguing, moaning, crying, needless repetitive threads(not this one) totaling hundreds of dollars in bandwidth, and general angst.

I am not sure I am following you. Are you trying to say buy what you like and let others do the same ?

Really, you dug up a 10 year old thread to ask that??
Answer 45 ACP

By reading some of the responses, the rules seemed to be a bit more lax 10 years ago.

Inferior product? I have to laugh at that. My 627-5 Pro with IL has not provided any evidence that it is an inferior product.
S&W isn't the only gun maker that has an internal lock. Some Ruger revolvers have an IL under the butt grips rather than having the hole on the side. I have yet to have an IL failure with any brand revolver shooting over a thousand rounds.
I agree with post #9.
I also agree many of the older high quality pre lock S&W revolvers can be bought for less money than a new IL S&W. I also think some older S&W revolvers are inferior to my 627-5. Again back to post #9.

I place the IL and mim parts in the same box of I don't give a rats tail about either one. I have yet to hear of any S&W recall involving either one. I have read more problems with canted barrels or cracked frames on S&W guns than complaints of IL failure.
Again refer back to post #9.
