I haven't seen a nice USED 686 for this price in a while. I wonder if they are expecting a shipment of no-lock 686's soon....
I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.
When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.
More information is available in this thread.
As always, thanks so much for your patience.

Smith's problems with the revolver sales are they're not price competitive with Taurus and don't have the "tank" moniker that Ruger's have. Oddballs like those who frequent gun forums may love all the classics that S&W is doing lately, but the average gun buyer who buys a revolver is looking for a small frame snub and we know Taurus wins on price, but I suspect that the LCR's trigger is winning buyers over compared to the J frame.Lol, the no lock's are going to murder the price of S&W revolvers manufactured for the last two decades. I saw an interesting stat that revolver sales in the US are increasing but S&W is in third place in sales. Behind Ruger and Taurus. Wonder if this changes that.
My thoughts exactly.If I knew it had no lock, I'd sell blood plasma to get that. As it is, it's a great price, but with a Hillary Hole, I can control my urge to buy much better.
Noted that the photo doesn’t show the side with the hole

I don't think locks and Hilary Holes are causing people to buy other options.
Without revisiting the politics around the Hillary hole, they should have dumped that garbage two years after it was introduced. It was useless in any measurement almost immediately.Lol, the no lock's are going to murder the price of S&W revolvers manufactured for the last two decades.

Taurus owns I think 42% of the entire US revolver market.Lol, the no lock's are going to murder the price of S&W revolvers manufactured for the last two decades.

I for one could care less about the lock, especially after the way my 586-8 shoots

The budget buyer or new gun owner may not know about internal locks, but if they did, they might think twice. One can get used or new no-lock J-frames fairly easily. Some Taurus revolvers also have locks. I'm not sure about the older ones. I'm glad Ruger did not jump on the lock bandwagon with S&W and Taurus.
I don't want a lock on my life-saving device that can fail at the worst moment. Short of SAO guns like the 1911, I'm not even a fan of manual safeties on semi-auto handguns. The fewer things that can go wrong in a potentially life-saving moment in a fraction of a second, the better.
My thoughts as well.I for one could care less about the lock, especially after the way my 586-8 shoots. That's a deal right there, and if i didn't have a bunch of other things going on, I'd be jumping on this
