    Yea but it has a lock. Maybe I will give @Hizzie idea of the lock plug a chance.



    @Stephanie B


    This is certainly tempting.

    The reasons I can think of:

    1) Not wanting to risk having to deal with the "disabled a safety" argument in investigations/court. This is much less of a concern for me now thanks to recent legislation shielding justified shoots from civil suits.

    2) Employer rules. Still an issue for me.

    3) Aesthetics. Although, honestly the LCRx is somewhat challenged in that area as well.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    #1 is the only serious concern of mine.


    That and screwing something up.

    I've been rocking a 638 with the lock removed and plugged for 12 years with no problems I'm certainly not going to tell somebody they are wrong if they don't want to to do it for any of those reasons. #2 isn't a concern for me anymore. I think #1 is somewhat jurisdictional.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    I'm about 2/3 of the way through the podcast, I would be done except people keep interrupting me with abstract shit, like meals and weekend plans.

    Thank you for everything you put out there, it's an incredible wealth of knowledge tempered with experience.

    "Be a human being and adapt to things", great advice.

    I have always wondered if that is really a "safety". It isn't like you can flip that off and use the gun, it requires a key. If anything disabling the lock makes it more safe as it can be inadvertently enabled under heavy recoil (or so I am told).

    The problem is that the prosecutor can bring it up in court so it can taint the jurors and even if you are supremely confident that your defense attorney can deal with that it will cost you more money. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

    @TheNewbie one other option is to carry a no lock 442 but use a bobbed hammer/internal lock gun with the same sights/grips as your training gun. That way you have a hammer for large amount of reholstering reps you’ll be doing in training but won’t have to worry about the lock for your carry gun. It would also allow you to have a heavier steel frame gun for high round count training sessions.

    Personally I’m OK with not being able to thumb the hammer on my 442 but I do make sure to “look” it into the holster each time.

    Good call, the Kimber is also in that size category. Good for belt but too big for pocket.

    Well, it does serve a purpose. Riding it while reholstering is a valid reason.
