    What is the "key lock"?
    Just above the cylinder release button on the newer smiths, there is a key hole where you can lock the hammer.

The bead blasted finish from the previous post I made would finish this off as a truly "Canadian" special run.
    Thanks for bringing in the 4.2" 686 North Sylva. We appreciate the efforts by Dom and the guys.

    WOW! I really thought I wanted a SS Mountain Gun in 4.2" but this 4.5" bull barreled high polish has me rethinking things. Damn that's pretty!

    The lack of a S&W Lock makes it even prettier

    Most if not all people hate the key lock feature.

    Is it because it causes reliability issues, or is it the principle of a locking device on a firearm?
    The perfect cartridge is a rare thing. You could spend your entire life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.

    Damn I wish I had a 12.6.

    Any updates? Will S&W make a 4.2 inch 629?

    Yes. Not only is it unsightly and superfluous, but there are reports of the locks spontaneously engaging under recoil and tying up the gun.

    The upside is that it can be easily removed, although the frame zit remains.
