The very mention of the lock raises my blood pressure. As a die-hard S&W fan, that (along with poor quality and $$$) is what brought me to Taurus. Sure, it has the #$%$ lock, but for the price, I try not looking at it. Thus far, I only own one Taurus (605), but would not hesitate in getting another. Can the hammer be replaced with a older non-lock hammer?
