What does "No Lock" mean

as far as S&Ws

this seller and I disagree

http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=333143368

I don't think so. Somehow GB needs to get a handle on all the misleading titles and spamming

Support is not capable of handling what is going on.

Edited to make it clear I know exactly what it means

    All S&W revolvers made for the US market now have an internal lock that can be activated with a key.
    The auction you saw is a pre lock S&W or a revolver made for export.

    Just looked at the auction and the revolver is one that was sold with a lock but has been removed. Why would anyone remove a lock? just throw the key away if you don't want the lock.

    I dont understand what you are worried about......are you talking about a built in lock?...I think what they mean is it includes a trigger lock......

    Not according to the S&W rep I talked to.

    I originally answered the question of what "NO lock" means. Not what the add states as there was once a lock and now it has been removed and plugged.

    I don't think Capt Fun would want me in support
    I would cancel about 600 ads a day of the 1500 I look at
    Freakin spammers and liars are way too abundant

    "Lock assembly removed, but included."

    That particular gun has had the internal lock removed. You can see where it is now plugged just above the cylinder release. I hate keyword spammers but IMO this is not such a case.

    I hope you are kidding about your rep
    Or your S&W rep is a liar
    S&W SKU 103810 is just an example
    It is the most popular S&W revolver sold in this area
    There are many other new no lock smiths listed in the Smith catalog

    None of my Smith revolvers have locks. The newest was made in 1981. I won't have a built-in lock.

    I bought a Springfield Armory 1911 that had a lock built into the mainspring housing. Easy fix. I installed a new housing, spring, and plunger. PFFT...no lock!

    S&W still lists some "no lock" guns on their website. Model M&P340 - No Internal Lock, Model 642 - No Internal Lock, Model M&P340 CT - No Internal Lock and Model 442 Revolver - No Internal Lock. There may be others too. [?]

    I have to disagree strenuously. Never EVER throw away the keys to your S&W. You may one day need them to unlock a gun that has inadvertently locked itself. Heavier-recoiling calibers would be much more apt to do it, but I have even noticed a slight lock rotation in my 38spl +P 442.
