it is Seattle! LOLMaybe it has a lock but identifies as a pre-lock.
I swear they thought about everything before someone can even imagine it. The Gun World is so FUNNYYes. They have been around for years. You gut the locking mechanism out of the revolver and replace the keyhole with the plug.
Sorta like the safety delete Steves Gunz has for Rossi 92’s.

A question that has been asked by many for nearly 24 years.Why can’t they just get ride of that Dang thing!!!
LAZY! and that’s why the Prelock market is more that post lockA question that has been asked by many for nearly 24 years.
I would hate to think that maybe their engineering systems software / drawings can’t be modified because 1. They don’t have the talent, or 2. They won’t pay for the engineering changes.
These are just guesses on my part.
Yeah, but the Prelock market doesn’t make S&W any money.LAZY! and that’s why the Prelock market is more that post lock
I’ve only bought Old Smiths and only in the last 2 years. I did buy a .460 Smith 8 years ago.OP, how are you just now hearing about the plug for the Hillary Hole?
They started showing up about a month before the first one with a Hole was sold.
17-9? or a pre-lock 17 (EXPENSIVE!!)Stay with the Model 17. Lot less drama.
Maybe because S&W is afraid of the perception of deciding to make a "less safe" revolver. Going back to no lock in the current political atmosphere might also affect their stock value and lead to lawsuits. Would cost money to retool too. As long as people keep buying them there's little incentive to reverse course.Why can’t they just get ride of that Dang thing!!!
And worth ever penny. I have a 5 screw 1954 S&W K22 Masterpiece. You really have to shoot one these to appreciate them. You may be able to find a close Smith and Wesson placebo for a few less dollars.17-9? or a pre-lock 17 (EXPENSIVE!!)
I think you’ve hit the nail right on the head.Maybe because S&W is afraid of the perception of deciding to make a "less safe" revolver.
