Lock Failure

You know, those little locks they put on Smith and Wesson revolvers to keep them safe. Well, guys have been complaining for years that they sometimes tend to lock in the middle of a string of fire.

If you follow Michael Bane, you know he does a lot of shooting. I read his blog regularly and it seems that he caught a lock failure on film.
Also,WE GOT AN S&W LOCK FAILURE ON FILM! Flag popped up and caught the hammer as it fell. We'll get it transfered out of HD and into an MPEG to post on DRTV as soon as possible.
Interesting. Very interesting.

I don't own any revolvers with idiot locks. I won't own any revolvers with idiot locks. My son has a Taurus revolver with the lock, but he hasn't had any issues with it.

That would be no fun at all in the middle of a firefight! I guess you could ask the bad guy to wait a second while you get your Ruger.

Taurus locks work in a different manner than S&W locks. Taurus locks prevent the hammer from cycling into the frame for firing, not sure what BS smith does.
