A great video about using revolvers for defense.

Nothing wrong with the lock ones.

We know for a fact that resale and trade value suffer on the ones with locks.

We know the pre-lock guns are going up quickly in value.

We know that making guns more complicated almost invariably has an impact on reliability. Adding things that can go wrong is a bad idea.

As to the actual function of the guns with locks.......it's been debated to death and I'll not repeat it here. If interested, the Internet is full of such debate.

Nobody won yet, at least as far as I can tell.
 
And, as I mentioned before, S&W is struggling financially and may again be close to bankruptcy.

Probably not the best time to buy a new Smith & Wesson.

It's a free country, though.

The rate of failure of the lock failing compared to those out their are insignificant statically. Older models of guns usually go for higher value specially if got the pin on the hammer and/or are recessive on the cylinder.

People have been saying the for years and it has yet to happen. Also if it did happen they would survive it, How many times has this happen to Colt?

If you're one of the unlucky statistically significant........you could be dead.
