2025 is proving to be a yr of wonders. The oldsters at Smith & Wesson have answered my prayers with the discharge of a trio of recent traditional revolvers with no lock! I get that we dwell in a litigious society, however I used to be by no means a fan of a lock on a revolver. Particularly not on the facet plate the place it’s apparent. I’ve a good variety of Smith revolvers, however they’re all older pre-lock fashions. Nicely now I can have a look at a number of new choices that return to the nice previous days.
The Traditional Collection No-Lock revolvers
Smith & Wesson simply introduced the discharge of three Traditional Collection No-Lock revolvers that embrace a Mannequin 36, a Mannequin 10 and a Mannequin 19. I’d like to see this unfold throughout the entire S&W revolver line however I’ll take these three for now.
The brand new revolvers all function blued carbon metal frames and Walnut wooden grips, in addition to different traditional design options. The Mannequin 36 Traditional, is a J-Body chambered in 38 Particular +P with a five-shot capability.

The barrel is a tapered barrel profile with a rounded entrance sight, very similar to the unique Chief’s Particular. MSRP is $849.
Subsequent up is the S&W Mannequin 10 Traditional chambered in 38 Particular +P. The brand new Mannequin 10 seems like an previous Mannequin 10, or in all probability extra appropriately a pre-Mannequin 10 M&P revolver, which occurs to be my favourite fashion Smith. It has a 4-inch pencil barrel with a rounded fixed-blade entrance sight and an integral slot-in-frame rear sight. It comes with a set of Tyler Gun Works clean walnut grips. The styling on the Mannequin 10 Traditional could be very harking back to the WW II period Victory Mannequin revolvers. MSRP is 979.
