I just wanted to share a video that I had made about why I purchased this revolver, also there is another one where i'm comparing .38spl and .357 mag in this gun as well. Thanks for watching if you do!

i just watched the first one, pretty good job giving the reasons why you purchased it. for what it's worth, i've never heard of a smith & wesson lock engaging with recoil no matter how large the caliber. heard all kinds of rumors but nothing documented.

anyway, enjoyed the vid, thanks for posting it.

ninjatoth: very informative review.

I like the sp101 over the newer polymer framed revolver from ruger. It is the real deal in steel.

You can't say that anymore as now you have-- I had my first S&W (post lock) J frame deploy the lock far enough to jam the gun up when shooting high power .357 loads (it actually did it 2 times until I removed the lock flag)

First time was a real pain as I didn't have the key with me, luckily another shooter at the range had his key but it still took a long time for me to link up with that person.

Second time I had the key with me, there was no 3rd time as the lock was removed.

I have a fair number of S&W lock guns but that J frame was the only one I had an issue with, but, I usually just remove the lock flag as part of my new gun prep now.
