We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

as long as the new or future ownership of S&W whoever they might be, maintains the production of revolvers w/ the built in mandatory trigger lock they are in essence affirming that clinton era agreement. So that is not ancient history and they are essentially not changing anything that the previous ownership capitulated to. I love smith revolvers but I will not buy a new one.

Agree with you 67GT...........calling the S&W situation "Ancient History" reaffirms the impression that Americans have a short attention span , politicians take advantage of this regularly .

Ruger makes revolvers with the internal lock. So does Taurus. Are they also "affirming the clinton era agreement?"
Can you even buya newly produced revolver without an internal lock anymore?

That's odd. The only guns I've seen with integral locks are the Bersas.

You haven't been looking too hard.
The IL has been moving over to the semi-autos for some time to manufacturers other than S&W.
Using the IL as a basis to boycott S&W is getting flimsier and flimsier. In fact, it's downright illogical.

Now, would you care to explain the purpose of this non sequitur? Or were you just looking to be a high school girl trying to start more drama?

They don't need one! Artillery is not required to have locks.

Doesn't look like the Super Redhawk will get the integrated lock. It was designed before the 2005 cutoff that Rugeris using. Guns designed after then will have the IL, i.e., New Vaquero, 50th Anniversary .357, etc. Even the newer Ruger semi-autos are now getting the IL, i.e., P345.
For various reasons, including tougher regulations in certain states (Maryland, California), the IL is proliferating. Not only on revos, but also on semi-autos. It's here to stay.
Overall, the IL is a good idea. But only if it is a standard component of all or almost all newly produced guns. A fair amount of benefit for a slight reduction in aesthetic quality. After a while, people won't even notice the dman thing.
It makes no sense to boycott S&W for having the IL when most other manufacturers are either already installing it on their new guns or are on the path to doing it at some point in the future. I think that eventually all manufacturers of handguns (and even long guns) for the popular market will adopt the IL.

To answer your question on a first gun, I like the Sig 229 and 226. I seem to favor the .40 not much of a kick since I am used to .357 magnum. The .40's are getting quite polular not sure why. 9mm is still the cheapest around here and many to choose from. I just like more bang.......
I have a few wheel guns as well and like the no hassle of them. Pull the trigger and bang. 38 special +p and your good to go for any normal situation.
For S&W I don't hold it against them. Whee the Clintonistas have you and your buisnes up against the wall we will see if you cut a deal or go under. Beside they got em back with the new very nice totally in your face anti gunners nightmareAR-15 they are now producing. There is nothing that says screw youClinton/Reno like a nice black AR-15 with a 30 round clip and forward grip.
