I currently carry a Glock 26 for personal protection. I would like to purchase a 65 Ladysmith and add Hogue Bantam grips (standard on 386PD). I have handled a 60 LS, but not the 65LS. I like the model 60's size, but I think the 65 would have a better balance. Has anyone seen a 65LS with the Bantam grips?

Will this work for concealed carry?

Essentially. A M65 357 Magnum round butt, 3" and Pachmayr compact grip. I far prefer the Pachmayr for their better feel. I removed the Hogue Bantam grips from my K round butts and threw them out. I positively despise Hogue grips. It will work fine. The classic service grips and a Tyler grip adapter would be a good option also.

I like Hogue Grips to shoot with. I've got several different styles I use on my S&W revolvers. For carrying and or for looking at I like S&W wooden grips though.

My 66-2 came with the original small round butt wooden grips, and I switched up for a pair of Bantams. I have briefly tried other grips like Pachmyar Decelerators, but Bantams are the only way to go in my opinion. They give me a level of control that is unmatched. They are light, easy to put on and take off, have deep finger grooves, and reduce the profile of the butt when I am CCW.
The 65LS is a good choice, by the way. Can't go wrong with a 3" fixed sight 357 Mag. K frame.
Just my $.02
