I still hit the shops that I know that I can't afford the guns (Jennings .22 NIB, ONLY $299.00 out the door! - must be becaused it's chromed, got fake "pearl" grips, and the trigger/firing pin (the part that you can see) is "gold" :barf: ).
I also get the looks when I come in wielding my book of gun values.
Actually got thrown out of a shop once because of it (well, the laughter didn't help either (see above)).
There are two places that I don't go into unless I really, truly have to go if I don't have allot of "gun money" saved because I know that I will either walk out with something or put something on layaway (or , can't decide).
The Ladysmith name engraved on the side of the frame, doesn't bother me one bit! The way I look at it, it's just a name! But, make no mistake about the fact, that there is nothing "Lady like" on the business end of an heavy duty(3").357 magnum revolver! It's a mans gun with a Lady like name on it! However, the better trigger pull(Designed to be easier for the ladies!)is a wonderful benefit to to us men, regardless! Some people have even gone to the trouble to remove the "Ladysmith" name(Ruining the original finish in the process!)however, whether or not, the "Ladysmith" name is left intact, doesn't change anything IMHO(The gun will always be readily identified as a Model 65LS, despite doing this!)so, I'll just keep the "Ladysmith" name on my gun(And, will ignore it-and, enjoy my gun!)!
Nice gun.......seriously, I'm more than secure enough with my masculinity to carry one. I didn't know they lightened the triggers for the ladies. Sounds like a good deal to me.
