I am dead-set against purchasing new firearms w/ mandatory internal locking mechanisms. I only buy used S&W revolvers now, but could be persuaded to buy a new Taurus if there was a way to replace the hammer w/ trigger lock w/ a non-locking hammer. Any ideas??? Thanks. De Oppresso Liber! hug.gif |

An older trigger might swap in, but I doubt it. What's the difference? The trigger with the built-in lock has never accidentally locked on anyone. If you buy one with a factory hammer and then swap it out yourself, that kind of shoots your desire to "send a statement" in the foot. The company still gets their money, plus more if they happen to have the hammer you want. I think it sucks that Remington, Taurus, Springfield Armory, and Smith and Wesson (are there others as well?) forces the PC feature upon us, but are you going to avoid all of them? I have a few handguns with safety locks. I just ignore the lock and honestly forget the guns even have them most of the time. Shootin em is still fun.

| I don't even notice the lock on my Taurus revolver. Just a little button bulge in the frame. I keep the keys for it (which I used maybe twice, when I first got it, for the sake of checking it out) in the bottom of the container that has most of my gun cleaning supplies. |
