2001 or 2. Depends on the model of gun.
The lock came into existence after Tompkins PLC, the British company that owned Smith, sold it to an Arizona company called Saf-T-Hammer in May of 2001. Tompkins had made a deal with Slick Willie, and it was so anti-gun that Smith about went belly-up. Tompkins had paid 112 million for it, and sold it for 15. The new owners threw the Clinton agreement out the window. BUT, they put on the lock.

THE BOOK is the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson.
26 bucks. Price came down. I think I paid 30 for mine.

I just went and looked at my 625 (all Smiths that start with a 6 are stainless steel). There's an S inside the ejector rod shroud. I never knew that.
Possibly it is to mark it as stainless, so nobody accidentally puts a stainless barrel on a nickel gun, or vice-versa.

Good memory. Looks like 91 or 2, to me.
