revoman Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 2 and 6 will not have locks and 8's will. the 2 and the 6 are earlier models and were out prior to the requirement of locks. There might be some 6's that have locks but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolex Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ok some older and new models have the locks- RIGHT- but when you say it has a lock what is the lock refer to-still don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 There is a keyed lock right above the thumblatch on the newer models that allows you to lock the hammer down so the action can't be cycled. In the locked position there is a little flag that pops up next to the hammer that says "LOCKED". I have seen a lot of these guns in matches and shoot a few myself. I have never seen anyone have an issue related to the key lock. They appear to totally harmless in terms of causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
