LADYSMITH M65

[WestDivide]

I'm looking for a specialty revolver from several years ago. Namely, a Ladysmith Model 65, 3 inch bbl, fixed sights, dymondwood (sp) finger grips, chambered in .357 Mag.
I've been checking Gunbroker, etc. to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA, West

Picked up that exact gun from my lgs just yesterday! Great gun and hard to find. Just happened he took one in and called me. They are pricey when you find one in great shape and this one is. I traded for it. Just keep looking....They are out there. Remember....it's the thrill of the hunt!

Looking for one? Aren't we all?

I think that's the finest carry revolver ever produced.

If you can tolerate a J-frame, the M60-14 Lady Smith is in current production. I just saw one today with a January 2016 ship date. Product code 162414. The last M65 LS I saw was made in 2003. It was a -7.

They pop up every so often -- you might just have to be prepared for a longer than usual hunt.

Might want to have this thread moved to the Want to Buy section...

There is one on GB just listed but will most likely go pretty high his guns are top notch & everyone wants them.

I am proud to say I recently went Transgender.

Stay after it, took me about 2 months of serious searching to find mine, and got lucky when a friend found one walking around a gun show.

Online prices seem to be bumping over a grand pretty regularly.

I agree with Pete, in my opinion also, it is one of, if not the best carry gun Smith ever made.

Welcome! Post a Wanted to Buy ad here and one may turn up, and keep a close eye on the Guns for Sale/Trade ads here. One will turn up, and if you see it at a good price be prepared to buy quickly.
