One of the posters over on the S&W Forums reported the same thing a couple of weeks ago with one of his newly purchased J-frames...
I have close to 50 Smiths...only two have a lock, a 686-7 .38 Super and a 4" 500. Only have them because they never made those models without a lock. Both still have the IL in them but they are just "range guns". If I was ever going to carry them the IL would be removed.
If someone ever gets into a defensive situation and has a gun with an IL lock on them, they will own S&W as they know about the problem and refuse to address it....
