Locks on revolvers is not new, but old news. So old as a matter of fact, that anti-lock rant threads have tapered off from about two a week to about one a month now.
The problem is these locks can be activated by an impact on the gun. This has been documented, and I have personally documented it with an S&W revolver. These are not guns you want to have with you in a tactical situation.
I'll never be in a 'tactical situation'. I could perhaps be in a defensive shooting someday, but I ain't kickin' in doors. That's BATFE's MO. Besides, you cannot be tacticool with a revolver.
I do use the internal locks on my Taurus guns now. When I have my sisters kids over or my wife's brother it's far easier to turn the lock than it is to unload, rearrange the safe so that they will fit, and then undo it when they leave. I have 2 Taurus keys... One in my wallet and the other in the safe.
Ok, consider my mind blown. Granted I've had a few guns without safetys, I don't refuse guns without them. And other than a pre-64 Savage Mod. 24 they all at least a half-cock. If you are avoiding safeties all together, that would alienate pretty much every firearm made in the last, what, 30 years?
(Yes I know you probably have guns with safeties, and that I'm probably exagerating some, but your statement, as mentioned before, has blown my mind.)
Everytime I hear/read this, I can't help but remember a discussion my dad got into with a neighbor years ago back in the late 50s/early 60s. They both had bought new cars at about the same time and the neighbor was trying to imply his was better than my dad's because his gas cap was hid under the rear license plate, where as my dad's was a "stupid ugly hole on the side of the car!". Half a century later and those holes are still there........
