S&W Revolver Fans

[Deleted member 38641]

As many S&W Revolver fans are here. We all hate the dang Internal Lock mechanism on the newer models. Not to mention the MIM parts as well. Removing the lock just leaves a big hole in the side of your nice Wheel Gun.

As I have both older and newer S&W Revolver models, I was looking for a cure. I found a website that resolves the lock issue and more. The owner/operator is not only a machinist but a Veteran.
You can now replace some of the important, internal parts with all steel and fill that hole with a complete Delete Kit for the internal lock.

Just sharing what I found for some Wheel Gun Fans that may not already know

I checked them out a while back when I was looking for a plug for the lock. A guy on S&W forums and Brownells is a good bit cheaper than Original Precision. The down side to Brownells is that the plug is black and I believe its plastic.

Apex sells a trigger kit for some S&W revolvers that replaces all the MIM parts with forged or milled parts.

I ordered two and I am going to tackle these two first. Rather have steel and quality than plastic. I will pay a little more for that also supporting a Veteran Small Business means something to me. Brownells has enough money, lol. I will post new pics once I do the fix on my M610 and M929

Update, One new lock delete installed and another on the way for my 929 PC

This is the 10mm 610, Yay! no more internal lock and no empty hole in the side of my revolver. Next will be to change out as many MIM parts as I can.

I didn't know this existed. Thanks for posting.

Have you ever broken a MiM part? I have seen some very poor forged S&W parts, but never a Mim part out of spec. Especially hammers.

Nope and I don't want to. Just never really like the idea of MIM parts so if I can replace them, I will

If I had that much of an issue with the IL & Mim equipped revolvers then i would not buy one.

Then there is that one guy, lol.

Try to do something informative and there is always that one person who finds fault with everything. Gotta love the ODT

I meant no fault. Just saying that to me it’s too much effort. Leave it to the ODT to be criticized for voicing a different opinion. Respectfully, right back at cha!
