What are the key locks? How do they work?

My S&Ws are over 25 years old, and I've only bought one gun in the last 10 years, so I'm a bit out of date!

Saf-T-Hammer developed a key lock system. The key fits into the grip of the pistol and it can't be used unless the key is inserted and turned. They're also doing research into electronic systems that recognize the owner's grip or fingerprints and will only activate the gun if the owner is using it.

I worry about the reliability of the system. What if you need the gun and the battery is dead or can't get to the key to activate the weapon? What if you're hand is injured or bloody? Will the system still work?
