I don't want to start a huge debate as to the pros and cons of internal locks but my recent experience (and a PM from another member) got me thinking that a list indicating which Ruger revolvers (current production) have or might have an internal lock would be useful.
Based on the user manuals on Ruger's web site HERE, this is what I've come up with so far.
No internal lock
(No mention of an internal lock in the owner's manual)
Redhawk
Super Redhawk, Alaskan
SP101
GP100
New Bearcat
Internal lock
(Internal lock mentioned in the current owner's manual therefore an internal lock is a possibility depending on when the revolver was manufactured)
New Vaquero
Bisley New Vaquero
New Model Blackhawk
Super Blackhawk, Hunter and Bisley
50th Anniversary New Model Blackhawk
LCR
New Model Single Six, Hunter and Bisley (Confirmed by member SGW42)
