Maybe it has a lock but identifies as a pre-lock.

Yes. 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.
Stay safe.

What about the space that opens up next to the hammer when the lock is removed?

A 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.

LAZY! and that’s why the Prelock market is more that post lock

Yeah, but the Prelock market doesn’t make S&W any money.
One would think they would get a clue.

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.

I’ve only bought Old Smiths and only in the last 2 years. I did buy a .460 Smith 8 years ago.

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.

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.

I think you’ve hit the nail right on the head.
Can you imagine if someone blamed the lack of the safety on an injury then got some Anti-2A firm or political group behind them? Even though the presence of a lock wouldn’t have made a difference it would not matter. They’d jump on it like a pack of hyenas on a zebra carcass.
