Lady Smith revolver
 

In keeping with my established tradition of asking at least one silly question a week....

I've been looking at buying a S&W revolver as an occasional carry piece. I found a nice looking stainless .357-6 rd w/3" barrel and wood grips that seems perfect for my purpose but...it's a Lady Smith. Now I would assume by this name it is meant to be marketed specifically to women.

It makes me wonder if a guy carrying one would look unmanly.:D (Seriously the thought crossed my mind). Just curious how many if any of you revolver guys carry a Lady Smith.

I shoot MamaOzo's PINK guns at the range all the time.......
Don't bother me none.......:D
She ain't even sweet on the pink ones........:eek:
But, me axe you 'dis.........
you like shootin' a J-frame in .357 ??????
I'm a big .357 guy, but them hurt [if you go shoot 100+ rounds......]
K-frame, Blackhawk, Contender, etc. or equivalent no probs....

Re: Lady Smith revolver
 

I'd only shoot +p. The only reason I'm looking for .357 is to assure it can handle .38 +p ammo. I guess my low testosterone level makes me self conscious about carrying a girly gun.:D:o

If I save my arse with a girly gun>>>>>>>>
Lady Smith's are nice.....
Still, +P's in them are not even fun......

Re: Lady Smith revolver
 

It wouldn't make me any difference, if you was shooting at me, I'ld be ducking, and running, if I could! Go ahead and practice with the .38's, but stoke it with the .357's. There is about 200+fps difference between the .357, and the .38 from a 3" barrel.

Who cares what it says on the side. I would gladly carry it.

My "all the time" carry gun is a 642. Was at the shop one time and a guy was looking to sell back a 642 LadySmith he'd bought for his wife. She didn't like it. It had 5 rounds though it. Owner of the store offered him a hundred bucks. He got in a huff and left. I followed him outside and asked what he wanted. He said he needed at least two. I handed him two 100-dollar bills. Bought if for my daughter, but if she had not wanted it I would have had no problem carrying it. Who cares what's etched on the frame? I used to carry a pink Playmate Jr. to work, as a lunch box. I'm secure in my masculinity.

Kinda sorry she liked it, as it had a better action than the one I carry.

It is 99% person 1% gun. Just about any reliable gun will do, if you can and most importantly, will shoot when you need to.

I carry my wife's lady smith all the time. I like it. For one I conceal so nobody knows, not that I really care though of course. Two, if I ever have to use it I don't think that the last thought going through the guys mind will be something like, "What a girly man, he carries a lady smith", in stead I think it will be oh (you fill in the rest), and three, if I ever shoot someone with a lady smith hopefully the jury will look at me as a gentle kind of fella.

I say pack it. They are awesome and they shoot great.

Re: Lady Smith revolver
 

Thanks all. :D As it is I believe I made a mistake on the model I want due to a dealers incorrect image. But I found another model I like better anyway. A mod. 686 plus(7 shot).

Geeesh. All that worrying about my macho image for nothing.:D:D:o

Re: Lady Smith revolver
 

A .357 with a 3" barrel?? That's a girl gun??

Re: Lady Smith revolver
 

Just put one on layaway at my local GS for my wife. One if the best feeling guns I've ever held. Hope she likes it.

Donnie D:D
