There were differences in the locks early on but I haven't seen enough of the later hammer guns to know if those differences continued. I assume, but don't know, that the four pin configuration was smoother operating than the three pin.
It would be interesting to know if hammer lockplate design differed between grades by the time the design was fully perfected in about 1883-85. I assume it did not, but I'm no expert.
