Removing "Lady Smith" from revolver

[gunlovingirl]

If it really bothers you, I'll take it off your hands!

Hi:
Add Barami "Pink" Grips to Your "LadySmith".

Wayne Novak, or one of the companies that he uses for refinishing, removed the L.S. inscription on a friend's 3913 some 10 or 11 years ago. It was perfectly done!

If interested, you might give them a call.

NO!!!!

Don't remove it!! I would pay extra for the logo! If it winds up bugging you, let me know, I will find you a replacement and take it off your hands. I love tweaking my super macho race gun friends at the plate matches with my snubs, and a LadySmith is even better.

Anyone who says you can't remove it is WRONG. Click the link below for before and after pictures. This one may be in the classified section soon as I hear an AR15 calling my name.

sell it for a primium and buy a standard and get a great holster with the change

 

[bmhiii]

Maybe there's some kind of "make-up" to cover it!

Duck tape?

 

[Dan Cash]

Spray paint.

In my neck of the woods, "LadySmith" models bring a premium. I looked for one for my wife, and I was too cheap to pay the mark up for the "LadySmith" marking...so she got a plain old Smith & Wesson....did put pretty rosewood grips on it for her...

Ladysmith

I was at a shop in the St. Louis area a few weeks back and thought the Ladysmith revolver was the nicest one there.
So, where exactly did the name originate? I suppose to attract to women.

I used a blck magic marker on mine and you dont even see it now

If anyone made a comment, I'd just smile and say......Isn't it cool?!?

If you're really offended by LS on the side, feel free to send the gun to:

Kate Meyers
CO Sevier Indoor Range

A big +1...better yet, send it to me, I am 6'3" and 240, I stare down anyone making cracks about my LadySmiths...

You and Your Lady

Tell folks that she's your new girlfriend..."Lady" Smith, from Austin, Texas. Good guys will understand! Bad guys won't remember.

"But if you have to use it, whoever you shoot isn't going to care WHAT it says."

I disagree, there are some that would be extremely upset to be shot with a "Girlie Gun". The ultimate insult!!

Hey, that's the way it was made. You start "removing" stuff, you screw it up and loose value.

Carrying a piece that said "Lady Smith" on it wouldn't bother me at all!

COME ON, GIMME A BREAK!

I disagree completely that you would screw it up or that it would have to lose value. There are obviously people who wish S&W had made a 65 in the same configuration as the LS, but without the designation. As far as screwing it up, I can post pictures of how to do it without screwing it up if you'd like. Nothing really even changes when you remove the logo, except that you give the stainless a brushed "finish" (more of a texture or a surface treatment than a finish) instead of a bead blast. The key is just to work on the entire gun and not just expect to be able to remove the logo. A couple of hours of gentle rubbing and a 65LS will look like any other 65 (but with a full underlug).

Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!

 

[robotoid]

I just got a LS barrel and had my own built.

 

[mattz357]

I didn't mean to sound "high and mighty," but S&W really should have made a gender-neutral version of this gun! Since they didn't, I did. It really isn't that tough, and I would be glad to help anyone who wants the 65LS without the LS.
