S&W added a locking mechanism somewhere around 2002 I believe to all revolvers sold after that date. There have been reports of the lock activating if the gun is dropped or heavy loads are fired, rendering the revolver useless until you can find the key and unlock it.Baker47 said:OK, guess I'm out of touch.
What do you mean by "no lock"?

In my experience, S&W is great to deal with. Give them a call, you'll probably get a new set for free.Robpiat said:Well its done but I cracked my grips in the removal :roll:
I hope smith will be cheap or free with some replacements.
