What is a "no-lock" revolver?

How does it differ from its opposite style?

Thanks in advance for a little schooling.
I'm no expert, but the S&W 642 comes in two versions:
1) with an internal lock which has a small key with which you can lock the trigger mechanism
2) without the internal lock (as in most revolvers)

I was guided toward the "no-lock" as many purists feel it is just another thing to foul up the wonderful simpleness and reliability of revolvers.

Which to Carry - OR Both?

I will be getting my CHL soon (months?) here in TX and have a Kahr P9 9mm which I got to be my primary carry gun.

However, I love the S&W 642 revolver, so picked up a no-lock model yesterday.

Now I am wondering: Do most folks here carry something like the 642 as their BUG or as an only carry gun?

I'm thinking carrying two may be overkill but not sure which would make the better carry weapon if I only carry one or the other.

Thoughts?
