Okay, lots of opinion both ways.
First, I don't like the locks. I think its more that can go wrong.
However, how about someone present facts or studies that indicate the percentage of internal S&W locks that fail. For example, is it 1/100, 1/500, 1/1000, or 1/10,000. Anyone have data that can give us concrete numbers?
Considering that many firearms don't work right without locks, I'm curious how much worse reliability the locks actually cause?
Finally, how many of YOU have new S&Ws with locks. Which ones of you all have experienced lock failures?
