Smith and Wesson teases "No Lock" new revolvers

[drgrant]

just posted on X, are they really going to correct a 24 year old mistake?

They used to sell runs of 442 and 642 without the gay lock, so "they know" they just dont seem to care.

New announcement of a special run of no-lock 686 and 629, both in Mountain Gun configurations. This looks like some good stuff.

I know some people like heavy barrel guns, and like the full underlug on 686 revolvers, but I have always preferred a thinner profile. I think the lighter barrel guns point better and balance better in the hand. I also think they look much more pleasing.

I have always thought that the 686 Mountain Gun should have been the standard version. But almost all 686 revolvers have a full underlug, and Mountain Guns have always been hard to find, and priced accordingly.

I am pretty happy to see this release, but it does cement the feeling that I mentioned earlier in this thread. I will no longer consider buying a S&W revolver with a lock. I will either buy an older gun, or wait for Smith to make what I want in the way I want it.

Now we're talking. I was just about to post that they should start making Mountain Guns again..............without the frucking lock. Nice looking grips too. Looks like they might only be limited runs by Lipsey's though.

Now we're talking. Enjoy the "a" word. (Allocation)

No Hillary hole would give rise to harder ( more pull weight) trigger pulls .

Both DA & SA.
Drop safe “insurance” made state compliant.

Explain how and why so, please . . .

Why did they pick the three most boring revolvers for this....give me a no lock 460 or 329

I tried one of the new model 19s at MFS in Holliston. Horrible single action trigger. My Taurus 605 from the 90s has a better trigger.

That sounds great!!

Have they added any more to the "no lock" lineup?

Aside from the beauty pageant, and what the lock represents, does having a lock affect the performance or weight or use of the pistol in any way?

What is the MSRP?
