Lady smith NL version

[ValhallaIamComing]

I tried to get my wife to guy a "Lady Smith". It really didnt go over well.

I think I paid about 500 for my NL about a year ago, but it had 5 magazines included. It also had the nice carry melt on the safety and slide release. I think there is another thread on the forum about removing the LS logo.

I just paid $650 for a 3913 Lady Smith... but it was NIB and I was excited to get one. I love the angled dustcover design and the pistol has a great reputation. Since it's no longer in production, I didn't mind spending the money to get one. These guns are finally getting the attention they deserve and I think you will have a harder time finding them in the future, as people will be more inclined to hang on to them. If you do find one in good condition and you are in the market, jump on it.

In addition to "Non-Ladysmith" and "New Look", I've also heard "New Line" to explain the NL designation. FWIW

I always wanted one. I like the white grips.
But then I got a 6906, same thing, bit fatter grip, so no reason to get one now that I am gun broke.
Maybe someday..

I believe the Lady Smith and the NL grips came in grey or black.
These are white "Dress Grips" for a 59XX and 40XX series:

The Grey and the Black for the 3913 and 4040PD switched:

I have to add...This is one of those guns that everyone online that says they got rid of one...says it was a HUGE mistake, and they regret it.
That says a heck of a lot about a gun.

Someone got rid of the one that I have now...THANKS! You won't get a second chance at this one!

It has also been said that NL stands for "New Look". TMann - the grips can be switched. The Ladysmith logo is etched fairly deep on my girlfriend's pistol - I can't imagine that that it would look very good if you tried to remove it.

I also recall NL as referring to "NuLine"....that came from a S&W Stocking Dealer when the pistol was introduced.....Zebulon

RV4driver is right about the 3913
I had a 3913LS & traded it toward an HK P7M8 & always missed that sweet slim little carry piece..
When I came across a used 3913NL with 4 magazines & a Milt Sparks IWB rig I had to have it, The rest is History..
I installed a new set of nightsights in it last week & need to get to the range to sight it in before returning PPCSHOOTER'S Sight Pusher..
The 3913NL Is one great Carry piece!!

FWIW... I just bought a regular 3913 on gunbroker and paid $400. 2 mags, no box. By the time I paid shipping and local FFL transfer, I've got $470 in it.

That was a bit more than I wanted to spent, but I was tired of looking for one. I don't regret it. I'll have this for many, many years.

Blonde, brunette or redhead?
It's always been an elegant pistol!
