Back in "the day" Smith and Wesson had quite a few of their revolvers available in "LadySmith" trim.

They actually made a few LadySmith J frames and K frame revolvers. The finish was bead blasted, and the grips were either Uncle Mike Combat grips, or Rosewood Laminate (either panels, or Combat style.)

Other than the cosmetics, some of the K frame revolvers had "odd" barrel lengths. The 65LS came in 3" for instance.

The springs are a bit lighter, and the trigger is smoother on "LadySmith" revolvers vs. their regular prodcution counterparts.

Currently, I have a 65-5 and a 631 in the LadySmith trim, and if and when I find a 66LS at a "reasonable" price, I'll have that one too.
