Ha Ha Ha, Guys, those were made for women, hence "Lady" Smith. You guys are joking, Right?

I don't think they are joking. I've heard about these guys but never actually seen any. Apparently they read the pamphlet that comes with tools before they use it and ask for directions when they get lost.

Nice. Kick a guy when he's not looking. I'm joking. You try turning down a sweet deal on a Model 36 just because it has LadySmith in cursive on the side of it. Really, I could care less. But the few times I have been asked I just say that she's my girl and we take good care of each other or some other such drivel. I also have a 3913NL. It isn't LadySmith marked but I much prefer it over the regular version. If they were made for women then I guess all single stack 9mm small size guns and all the chief's special J framed and lately the magnum J's are women guns. Jeeze, it's not like it came with the pink grip. And no, it didn't. I came with a smooth rosewood round butt grip. I just find it way too slick under recoil so I snagged a Altamont boot that is checkered. So I will draw a line in the sand with pink guns, but just because of some script... No, fraid not buddy. She's a keeper.

I was joking too Bob. If you'll read my post again you'll see I was implying you guys have some sense.

I wish I had, I would carry it. I'm secure enough in my sexuality and masculinity to carry a Lady Smith

The difference in a LadySmith and the "men's" model is what? The grips? And it seems most people have changed the grips?

The 642 LS is 0.5 oz lighter, which seems negligible. What am I missing?

My 3913 LS works just fine, thank you. Matters not what some marketing guy suggested.

I occassionally carry a Model 60-7 LadySmith.

I bought it years ago for my Mom, and got it back when she died. I see no reason to trade it in on a more ManlySmith...

The 3-inch Model 65 with the shrouded ejector rod only came as a Ladysmith variation as far as I can recall and it might just be the best concealed carry .357 Magnum revolver to have ever been created.

Yes, right, you've got the 0.5 oz lighter, and the grips, but you missed the whole "Lady Smith" printed prominently on the Sid of the gun; that's a little different...

OK, relax, I've got one, too... The way I saw it, was who would have the stones to laugh at you when you're holding 5 rounds of .357! It's a very nice gun, and I let my wife borrow it, whenever she asks...

3" M65 LS and the holster I just made for it. Now I have a good way to carry it. If you're looking at the business end of the gun I don't think you'll be thinking about the Ladysmith on the side.

glock_556 · Mar 15, 2011

That 3" model 65 sure is sexy . . . I'm gonna get one when I get big

That holster is gorgeous. I just picked up my first wheelgun and they are pretty awesome.
This thread makes me laugh.... so i guess I need to give up all my manly guns and only shoot 'girl' guns....
It's funny, most correspondence comes addressed as MR. even when I've talked to a person... hello, it's Heather!

or hell just get it right it's "MAJ"

I was just pictureing Clint Eastwood walking through the back door of the diner saying 'me, Lady Smith & Wesson'!

Who cares what's written on the side of the frame........really nice looking revolvers gents (and great holster bamabiker)!

cheers,

I recently purchased a "Women of the Nra" engraved 442 cause I wanted an engraved 442 with a slick black finish and the title "Women of the NRA" is on the gripframe.

It's a J Frame cutie that likes Nyclad ammo.

Aloha,

I help teach a basic handgun class and my M-65 LS gets a workout.

Even Big construction workers have an appreciation for the Lady

Women love the way it handles when shooting.

M3Stuart · Mar 29, 2011

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that anybody you happen to be shooting at with your LS will have other things on their mind besides questioning your manhood at that particular point in time.

Big Foot · Mar 29, 2011

No way!

That gets my vote for best LadySmith ever made along with best LadySmith and holster combo.

I would be proud to carry that Lady in that holster.

No, be a Ladys man!

my aunt has a "lady smith" auto and my dad has its clone... without the "lady smith" on the slide. Just a marketing tool I think.

I would carry one in a heart beat though, nice guns!
