New or good used S&W no-lock 442 around anywhere?

[condoor]

I haven't stayed up on this info, but is it still generally a good idea to try and find a no-lock S&W vs the ones with the lock? I'm in the market for a hammerless airweight 38spl.

thx

I have both lock and no lock S&W's. Honestly i find that they shoot the same and generally feel the same. I think people go after the pre locks due to the fact that S&W doesn't make them any more. You know, the stigma "They don't make them like they used to!" generally the pre locks command more money but i find it to be unwarranted.
