The "backup" to my "Always" S&W 442 is a 642 "LadySmith"...haven't caught any grief--YET--over it...then again, could be because, at 5'10" and 270+ AND with a full beard, I look like a bouncer at a biker bar...naahhh, I'm sure that's NOT the reason...GOT to be the "Progressive" times we live in!!! BTW, Lendringser, there is a version of the 3913 that has the tapered dust cover like the "LS", but DOES NOT have the "LS" ANYWHERE on the piece...it's the 3913 "NL", for "NO LOGO"...or is it "NO LADYSMITH"???...anyway, ANY 3913 is a nice lil' piece!!!....mikey357
