Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters S&W Key Lock - will Smith & Wesson ever change back?

I bought one of the new mod 17's a couple years ago, and left it as is. I've never used the lock, and to be honest I have no idea where the keys even are. But it's a .22. The lock wouldn't necessarily keep me from buying the gun I wanted, but if it's more than a .22 I'd be removing the wart forthwith.
