Lawyer locked guns with two-piece barrels are good shooters. I just personally don't like 'em.
Honestly, the only difference mechanically between my Heritage Series Model 29 and a current production Model 29 is simply the lock.
Both have the frame, lockwork, frame mounted firing pin, etc...
I have a Howell Conversion in .45 Colt for my Uberti 1858 New Army .44 and it works perfectly for shooting. The cylinder safety notches are too shallow to safely load all six cylinders and carry it. Also, actually swapping out the factory cylinder with the Howell isn't quick. But for a range...
Same.
I out of the hundred plus S&Ws in the collection. Only one has a lock. A run of the mill 642 that was free. I took the lock out the moment I got it and abused it as an ankle BUG when I was a South Florida cop. Figured I'd let thay gun take all the abuse.

The Heritage Series are Performance Center built pieces. Hence why I have the 29-9. It...
I have a Pietta .36 Remington and it is a hoot to shoot. My previous. 36 was a Pietta brass framed Colt 1861 that I just absolutely wrecked. I paid $75 for that gun, used, and just would shove enough FFFg powder in it until you can barely sit a ball. After untold thousands of rounds. The frame...
They're not supposed to be well trained professionals. They're PSUV loyalists that are given arms and government authority for the purpose of routing "political dissenters." The government uses them to harass people that don't follow the party line.

S&W did a 12-gun series on a subscription based plan back in 1990. The idea was that they'd make one gun a month and sell 'em via subscription. Well, the deal fell through and S&W just dumped all the guns on the market through Ellett Brother.
All the guns are numbered X of 500.
