...I knew they can be removed...but why should we have another lint-hole to clean?!!! I will never own a gun with an internal lock...

...they wanted to avoid "problems" and bowed to the pressure...best thing that ever happened to Ruger...and I've heard/read too many accounts too many different places to trust 'em...kinda like the P345...too much in the wind....

The locks can suck. I removed the ILS from my 1911's right away. At least they are easy and don't change the look of the gun at all.

the famous "lock"........... the major contributing factor this lock has caused is running up the price of "pre-lock" smiths increasing the demand as folks serarch for an alternative. i am not aware of any published accounts on deliberate "lock activation" saving any lives............... |

Michael Bane once posted on his blog about his .44 Mag Smith locking up on him because of an internal lock failure. Good thing a bear wasn't about to have him for lunch. I would not have one of the new Smiths with that damn lock.

The lock can be disabled without leaving a hole in the frame.  |
