Met a beautiful and special lady yesterday...

A beautiful S&W Model 60-7 stainless steel .38 Special Lady Smith, that is.

I have been looking for a stainless steel snubbie and happened to see one at a pawn shop yesterday. It is a 1993 S&W Lady Smith Model 60-7 that was very lightly used with the original beautiful rosewood grips. Lockup was tight, bore and cylinders shiny and bright, and it looked like one of those "shot it a couple of times and she didn't like it" pawn shop items. I am usually a bargain buyer, but this one was too pretty and hard to find in this nice condition to pass up.

This morning I took the Lady Smith and a box of 130 grain factory Fiocchi ammo to the gun range. Only shot 25 rounds but the gun shoots very well, has a smooth trigger face, trigger pull is nice in single and double action, and the added weight of the stainless steel frame makes it more comfortable to shoot than my 442-1 Airweight.

I took a few pictures of it, but they in no way do justice to the richness, depth, and shine of the Rosewood grips. They are really nice and sure make the gun look really classy.

Congratulations! The 60-7 is the best of the J-frames... and very loyal, too ;-) I have one and it follows me out the door more than all of my other guns combined. Other than the rosewood grips and what appears to be a satin finish, are there any other differences to a standard 60-7 snubbie?

Very nice revolver and great photos! Off-topic, but I wonder if the mothership would re-engrave the LS lettering?

Thank you. Gun is pretty so it gets the credit. I had to take the pics pretty quickly as had other stuff I was doing today. Took my computer chair, set a small box on it, draped a sheet over the chair and box, and set the gun and holder on the sheet. Opened the blinds to get some light in the room and took the pics with an old Canon PowerShot digital camera I have had for many years.

I am often in awe at some of the gorgeous pictures of beautiful guns that people post in the forum. They are absolutely professional grade.

As to S&W engraving, I joked on another thread that after watching a bit of the news this morning before heading to the range I believe I will buy up every Lady Smith I can find.

Looks like there can no longer be any gender reference to items (i.e. manholes, manmade, mankind, etc.) so these Lady Smiths will become collector items.

On second thought, my greatest opportunity for a financial windfall may be a class action lawsuit that someone files against S&W for not only selling evil guns, but placing gender specific identification on them.

God save us.

Nice.

I have a NIB -14 and one of these days I might just shoot it.

I've always liked the satin finish of the Lady Smith lines. It looks good.

Darn!

Lured into another gun thread on a gun forum!

Of course it's a nice gun, but ....
