Just noticed this posted on another forum, thought it might be of interest:

ETA, mods, you may delete if this is a dupe |

IBT "Hope you never have to use it to defend yourself b/c when a jury sees that they'll hang you by your nuts" crowd (I'm not part of that crowd) Oh, and I've always wanted to see this too. Yeah, there's those.... 
In the interest of credit where credit is due, here's a link to the original post on the S&W forum. There's some discussion of alternative methods, and a little smackdown for the "deactivating safety features" guy.

Easier solution is to just buy S&W's without the lock.
While you're in there, swap the trigger rebound spring for a 13 or 14 pound reduced power version, polish the bottom and side(against the frame) of the rebound slide, lightly "break" the corners of the rebound slide, and polish the spring bore in the rebound slide. Grease the spring bore, spring, and rebound slide before reassembly. Your trigger finger will appreciate the result of your labors.

| Thanks for linking this. I've seen the pics 100 times but a step by step video is awesome. Just did it to my 642. A lot of people say grind the tit off the flag. But, but flag serves no purpose in there. Plus, if you ever have to send it in for service you can put it back. |

Do you have a similar recipe for a Colt Diamondback ? |

Do you have a similar recipe for a Colt Diamondback ? I would suggest sending it to someone experienced with Colts. From what I know of them, it takes a bit more knowledge to tune a colt. |
