Image does not work for me.
First thing anyone is gonna ask you is if it is a Lock Model or a No Lock Model (they made both) in various model numbers.

sheesh... its not its fault it was born in the wrong era... its not gonna give you coodies or anything :biggrinjester:
No, but...it may lock up when you least want/expect it.
That is the knock on the ILS S&Ws, and there are enough documented instances for knowledgeable S&W guys to steer clear of the ILS revolvers.

S&W has responded by offering many models "with" and "without"...and these days, many buyers are opting for "without".

If you are getting fewer offers...that is likely the reason.

I recently bought a model 638 with the ILS, and as soon as I can remove the ILS parts and install The Plug and put 100 rounds through it, I may carry it.
