S&Ws that I'm looking for

[PhysicsGuy]

How can I tell if a Smith has a lock? Or it is all dependent on date of manufacture to determine lock status?

Note the lock right above the cylinder latch;




Note that this 642 has no lock;



Also it can be noted that locks were introduced around 2000/2001, after the clinton agreement and Saf-T takeover.

Oh, that's easy enough. I feel stupid now.

So forgive me for having no knowledge about this, when did they start adding the lock?

Oops, I just added that part my previous post;

"Also it can be noted that locks were introduced around 2000/2001, after the clinton agreement and Saf-T takeover."


Thankfully most of the models I am looking for were never made with a lock.

Great! Thanks for the info.

I've got a snubby model 10 that I'm interested in trading. I would really like something with a longer barrel in .357 if you have it.

Updated list!

Could you be more specific?

Heh. BTW it does seem that they have the lock situation sorted. Also it seems like they have (S&W) decided not to get rid of the lock after all.

Well its alright, the lock somehow "fell" out of my .460....

Now I just need to figure out how to make the MIM parts disappear...

So what will a good 586 bring ?

Depends on barrel length, dash series, original equipment, and condition.
