Which manufactures have internal locks in their revolvers?

I know S&W still does it (even after a change in ownership), but I've heard some other manufactures do it too. I'm planning on getting my first handgun (which will also be my first firearm period) sometime in the next year or so, and I want to make it a revolver, but I don't want one with an internal lock...

Charter Arms revolvers are also made lock free, and I wouldn't rule out a used S&W without a lock.

:( I was kinda interested in their 7 shot .357's too........
 


I have one (Taurus 7 shot .357 with an internal lock). I love it (the gun) and long ago forgot that it has one (the internal lock). Never use it (the internal lock), and never a problem (with the gun or the lock).
