@@Setsuna012A bullshit attempt at reaching across the isle with the gun grabbers that S&W did in the 90’s did with the Clintons. AKA the Hillary Hole. It’s a lock on the side of the gun that when engaged is supposed to render the gun inoperable, thus it’s a built in child safety lock of sorts. In reality it was a political stunt that did nothing to deter or prevent gun crime or deaths and in some cases even malfunctioned, rendering the gun broken.

@@Setsuna012You can use a key to lock the trigger from firing. It’s a safety feature to prevent unauthorized persons from using the revolver.

While that was never a criteria for me buying a new production Smith & Wesson, it sure has been the criteria for me buying older ones. I can wait for these to prove themselves in usage rather than knee-jerk to prove the marketing. I'm pretty set on already proven and reliable S&W revolvers and have more than I can shoot with two hands and a New York reload. Until the real critical end users prove otherwise, this is a marketing gimmick. Just like Springfield's SA-35's. Which were unfinished garbage.
