Cross "gender" guns

Maybe a little history is in order. The Ladysmith was originally a mid sized series of revolvers made by S&W to compete in a revolver match held in Ladysmith,England around a century ago. After the Yanks won, S&W brought the line out to capitalize on the victory,like the Creedmore matches of rifle fame.They were top break, six shooters chambered for rounds like the 32 and 38 S&W, with experimental models in 44 Russian and Special as I recall.Like most handguns of the time other than martial ones,grips were usable by folks with all but the smallest hands.

Discontinued in the teens or 20s, the LadySmith names was revived to appeal to the female shooters,but they sell well to small naded folks of any gender/orientation.

Would carrying a weapon with the word "Lady" on it lower your testosterone levels? If so, it's not the gun.....
 
HI buzz_knox-

My wife has a 3913 and I enjoy shooting it more than almost any other gun we have... So I would definetely recommend it. You might want to check out the 5906 which has almost the same ergos as the 3913 but with a large capacity grip- if you can deal w/ the grip size. For me, I have a large hand and it fits OK.

In any case I am sure you'll enjoy the 3913 - best of luck - mckysdad

"they sell well to small naded folks of any gender/orientation."

Small nads? That was either the most ironic typo I've ever seen or the funniest. :D It was a typo, wasn't it?
 
Hey I looked at a Smith model 60 Ladysmith yesterday, Thought that if I put it in the safe with my model 37 I might get some little Smiths :D


Happy Shooting :)
