Which J Frames are available without the internal lock?

[Blade37db]

I'm assuming that the only ones are the 642/442. Are there any others? Does the new Bodyguard revolver have the internal lock?
Thanks.

In .38 Special, the 642 and 442 are the only ones I'm aware of (and the classic 40 lemon squeezer re-issue).

And ALL prior to 2001.

Sorry...HAD to say it.

The M351C(22 Mag) and 43C(22lr) don't have locks either, f you could find either. Bob!!

Per S&W customer service, these are the models (and their SKU's)currently "cataloged" which do not have the internal lock:

M&P340 (103072)
M&P340CT (150971)
340PD (103061)
442 (150544)
642CT (150972)
642 Pro (178042)
632 Pro (178046)
640 Pro (178044)
442 Pro (178041)

Of those, the 642CT, 632 Pro, and 640 Pro are not currently in production.

The Bodyguard 38 does not have an internal lock.

I was snagged by that, too. I paid for one but after an inquiry, Derek Osborne replied that it was an error on their part.


The last two calls I've had with them have been with "gun clueless" folks on the phone. Perhaps they are writing the ad material, too.


Too bad, though, a 448 "no-lock" would have been a very welcome addition to my meager collection.

I hate the looks and rationale for those infernal locks. It's about as bad as the lawyer script on the Ruger guns.....

Also the 40, 42, 351C, & 43C. I've also noticed some factory engraved 640-3 models without locks (my local dealer currently has one in stock).

I stand corrected, although I'm pretty sure the 40 and 42 are discontinued. I'll check on Monday.

Knew that was too good to be true!

 

[goldenbb]

I bought a 642 no lock a few months back that was factory new. The date on the fired case is from Dec 2010.

Is it just all the new latest Centennials?

M&P340 at Discount Guns for Law Enforcement by Buds Gun Shop (budsgunshop.com) $608.00 shipped

Confirmed. The engraved 640, the 43C, and the 351C have no lock parts in their parts manifest by SKU. The 40's and 42 are discontinued with no production scheduled.

 

[Sonny Crocket]

The 40's and 42 are discontinued with no production scheduled.

Thats a shame.
I do wish the 43C would get out there in some numbers so I can get one!

 

[mattallamerican]

[airman]
