Truth be told, there are people who will buy a S&W revolver BECAUSE of the lock. I know of one such person...

True, but I suspect the ratio is probably closer to one person who refuses to buy the lock for every 100, or 1000, who will.

RussB, RickB.. these may be true, perhaps I have been hanging out at The Firing Line too much, a forum where I have seen hundreds (if not a thousand) of complaints about the lock, and posts in favor of the lock in the single digits... well, to be fair, maybe a couple dozen ever.
Someone out there is obviously still buying those revolvers... Smith quality is (arguably) still great, and I think for that reason people will overlook the lock, but I will say this: someday down the road, my next handgun will be a .357 or .44 mag. I really, really, like the Smith 629. But because of that lock, I just might end up getting a Ruger Redhawk...
