    This. I've seen a few on GB that went for STUPID money. If I ever find one for less than $700 I'll buy it without a second thought. If nothing else just to make some money on it. But if they ever make another run I hope they go the 3" or even 2.75" for the full length ejector rod.

    S&W, IMHO, is depriving themselves from a sizable segment of the revolver market by presenting a firearm that resonates with some segments of the market as a sellout, Clinton-era ban gun and with other segments as less reliable, but with virtually no one as "better." Does anyone really demand the lock? My guess is no. But maybe it is working for them.

    I think you ask a very good question. Do the laws in such states as New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington or California require such a lock? Or does it count as points on some system that allows their sale or ownership?

    I honestly do not know, but think you make a great point.

    If for no other reason, it would seem to simplify design and manufacture of their products - on that reason alone, I'd dump it if not required.

    I am unaware of any police contracts that specified they wanted the silly thing.

    I tried to find one when they came out. None of the LE dealers could get them.

    I looked and looked for one when they were being manufactured and couldn't find one. I really can't find one now.

    I have had Model 12-2 for years (phenomenal gun). I'd love a 315 NG if they actually exist somewhere.

    I have a 386 NG in a fanny pack that I grab going out the door to walk the dog. Love the gun. I would love to find a 315 NG for a good deal.

    I wish Ruger would make a full sized LCR. A nice lightweight security/speed six sized 6 shot 38.

    Isn't the 5431 pretty much that? Albeit 5 shot instead of 6?

    Equivalent of a J frame kit gun. I'm thinking of something K frame sized and lightweight. Like a modern Model 12.

    Copy. It looked like a larger frame than the standard LCR. I've admittedly only looked at photos though.
