What's your beef with them?I own a collectible gun or two. And still won't buy a new S&W.
Older versus new smith revolvers:What's your beef with them?
1. The unnecessary lock on current-production revolvers is just an additional thing that can go wrong as well as being philosophically offensive.
I am with you........it was an attempt to make there products more palatable to gun grabbers. I have 3 of them. Never touched one and they have been totally beguine. Never even think about them.not to argue, rather share my own opinion, I share your contempt of the lock. In theory. Getting down to shooting a variety of S&W revolvers since that dreadful addition, despite such concerns, not one has ever caused a problem in what I would estimate as several metric tons of lead downrange thru the afflicted models over the last 20 years. Not once.
And the most accurate revolver I've ever shot, happens to be that ponderous N frame 627. With lock.
YMMV of course.
