I saw a very nice looking Talo S&W 4" 357 at a gunshop not long back, had a nice wood grip, classic look, mim parts, but all modern guns have mim parts, but of course it had the lock, which is really unsightly and just offputting. However, it had a nice action, and smooth lockup, it was about everything I liked in a revolver, but it was priced at around 750 bucks with tax and I just couldn't justify spending that kind of immense money on a revolver with a keylock. I've always been a Smith guy too, and I'd recommend the more affordable 642 or 442 which are also good sizes and no lock I believe. But for me I couldn't spend 700 bucks on a new gun with an internal lock.
