Yeah, I have this lock on my Taurus 85 Ultralite. When I bought it, I read the manual, and tried the lock to see if it functioned. Then I unlocked the revolver, and put the keys away in a drawer.Liberty wrote:There is one other safety that hasn't been mentioned it is the key and lock found on some Smith and Wessons, and Taurus' You can lock the gun with a key and it is inoperable until unlocked. I never heard of anyone actually using this "feature" though. I believe it is a Brady invention.
I use safes/steel lockboxes for storage. I want nothing to do with this internal (infernal) locking device.
