Does anyone have a diagram of how the Hiatt Peerless lock mechanism works: that is, the one with the double lock hole on the rear cheek plate?

Thanks,

Franklin

Are you referring to the current models they make? If so, they are not Peerless but copied S&W for the most part. Or are you referring to the Peerless copy they did with the hole on the face of the cuff that you inserted the pointed end of the key to engage the double lock?

Hi Dorson:

I'm asking about the earlier model, marked with the Peerless name. I'm curious how the double-lock mechanism works.

If anyone is confused, it might be because there is an earlier model of the Hiatt Peerless that double locks with the button on the edge, like the Peerless. Later models used the double lock hole on the back of the lock case, and this was carried through to the Hiatts 1970 model.
