[QUOTE="LBnM, post: 1066952, member: 817"] Here's the photos I promised. They are sorta quick as I gotta go watch the OU women play. The Night Guard has more of a flat finish than it appears here. The sheen is from the flash. [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] Obviously you can tell it's there. It just plugs the hole, thus the name "Plug". However, the lock is out and can in no way freeze up the firearm. This .44 Special is a real shooter and I would hate to have passed it up because of the IL. It shoots much more accurately than an old 696 I had and carries much easier also. Don't get me wrong...I do like all steel guns, especially stainless. However I'll probably carry this much more than the 696. Now, installation... If you have never been inside a Smith revolver your first trip can be a little intimidating. It's not difficult but you need to know what you are doing. Generally, the worst that can happen is that you bugger up the screws or sideplate. You DO NOT want to do that. You need correct screwdriver heads for the job. I have an old Brownells Magna Tip screwdriver with about five bits that are made specifically for Smith revolvers. I don't know if you can still get this as I have had mine for years. It was a super investment for me. There is a step by step out there showing how to remove the IL.
