Nice but not necessary plus cheaper to produce without the squeezer. Rate high in cool factor though.
Why no more grip safety on SW J-frame snub?

My EDC (well, not exactly ED) is one of the late production ones. I bought it mainly because it doesn't have one of those d@mn@ble internal locks, although the grip safety (on reflection) is just as bad. In fact, worse, because as muzzleblast pointed out, aftermarket grips will not "drop in." Not to mention, the thing is positively painful to shoot, even with standard pressure ammo, because that d@mn@ble and useless grip safety really concentrates the recoil onto a small area of the palm.

Gorgeous, beautiful and I am drolling !
S&W advertised revolvers with a concealed hammer and grip safety as being "child proof". At that time, c. 1890, a concern was (or was claimed) that even a revolver with a concealed hammer could be held in a child's hands and the butt pushed against something so it would fire. The grip safety prevented that by being shaped so that it would slip off such a surface. Did it really work? Maybe, but like most advertising, it sounded good as long as no one thought much about it.

I would rather put up with an Internal lock than a grip safety.
Fortunately, Centennials can be purchased today without either.
I wonder if collectors 50 years in the future will extoll the virtues of the IL! Assuming they are not still in current production. Hillary who?
Best,
