I said I wouldn't buy any more with the lock, but sometimes they were never made any other way. That's the case for both of these two recent arrivals.

This one is getting an APEX spring kit, the lock will be removed and it will be my everyday carry piece in a pocket holster.

Smith & Wesson Model 360J in .38 Special ... So far I've only changed the grips

Smith & Wesson Model 69 ... .44 Magnum but I intend to shoot 99% mid range loads with Keith bullets, that load will do anything I need done. Another grip change, trying to go with grips that are as small as possible, but I'll have options ready to go in case these don't work out.
