bring back the Ladysmith

[glypnir]

I mean the old one, the M frame, petite one.

My hands are way to big to hold it properly, but it's just such a cute little critter.

And it should be possible to make it accept .22 LR rounds at this point.

And with CNC machining and MIM, maybe those tiny parts wouldn't be so much of a challenge.

And people want small self-defense gun, a BUG, maybe a short barrel version would sell.

And I think it would be almost as cute in stainless as in blue or nickel.

And then, since I'm fond of concealed hammers, I want an M-frame Centennial.

Once the M-frame is in production, tool up for a concealed hammer version.

Or, imagine making an M-frame in Scandium. How much would that weigh? 5 oz.?

There you go, a concealed hammer Scandium alloy M-frame.

Anybody want one?

Or any other variations of the M-frame?

Another interesting variation which comes to mind is a frame with its window specifically designed for a 5 shot 22 Magnum. The window would be longer than the one for .22 LR, but it would still be significantly shorter in terms of height than the current J-frame window designed for 5 .38 specials.

And the cylinder diameter would also be less, so the overall thickness of the pistol would be less.

How about also chambering for .32ACP with/without moon clips?

I'd be tickled with a J frame Centennial in 22 (LR or magnum); 8 shots, decent sights and a workable trigger pull. It would be perfect for my wife.

A Centennial in .22lr! I would get one.

I'd love to see the M-frame Ladysmiths reissued in .22LR. Without the lock, of course.
