Finally the 65-5LS .... the grail comes home! (a lot of joy at the moment).

Damn the words! ... give us the pics!






"P.P.R"! .... already thinking of the Hikes I wanna take this baby on. Ran the kids out of the reloading area, shouting 'Go do your home work" and fired up the reloading tools. Just thinking about all the wonderful cast bullets this baby has ahead.

Congratulations on finding that sweet looking Lady Smith. Gotta love 3" K frames. I bought a 3" Model 65-2 about a month ago and carried it IWB all day today. Tomorrow will be range day. Enjoy that beauty!

Congratulations! That’s a good looking shooter.
I haven’t seen one of those in years.

Very cool . I saw one on consignment several years ago. I agonized over it, then left. I turned around about two miles down the road and went back, but it was already sold.

The smooth little rosewood grips are beautiful, but they’re knuckle-bangers for me. A T-grip adapter or other grips might be something to look at down the road if your middle finger takes a beating.

Let us know how it shoots when you roll some up and take it out.

Stay safe.

Congrats on finding a very nicely cared for Model 65 Ladysmith!

 

[Mercy Me]

Congratulations!

Very coo! Congratulations on acquiring your grail gun. That is certainly a nice one. I passed up one of those in 2018 for $425 because it was 2 hours away and I didn't really feel like making the trip. Man, was I stupid. That was an excellent price even back then. In actuality, I probably had my eye out for a different model at the time.

Nice piece! I really like a 3" k-frame. That one's a beauty.

 

[JJFitch]

I would never feel under-gunned with that beauty. 3 rounds, 3 seconds at 3 yards! No nite-sight, no red dot , no laser, no zillion lumen WML!
Just pure S&W beauty and muscle memory! Love my 3" M-66!

A 65LS is one of the guns I am on the gun for. I have a 3" Model 13 nickel and a 3" Model 65. But those Lady Smiths were nice due to the ejector shroud/lug.

 

[Armored farmer]

I like 3 inch frames.
Im glad you found a nice one.

 

[Pudge]

I think it's a great revolver! Carry it, shoot it, enjoy it!

 

[Bigdog357]

Congratulations on your 65, I live mine, it's a great carry piece.

Is that factory DAO? The trigger looks smoothed as well. Nice piece.
Three inch J-guns do solve some problems. I'm a fan of the older, fixed sight Smiths.

ALL IN!

didn’t know the Lady Smith was a holly grail! They had one at my shop with the box and such. I wanted it really bad

No, my stepfather was a Smith & Wesson armorer, he changed out the hammer and went through the action. He set this up for my mother who has since passed away.

Yes, let me step back and clarify. For me it was a grail piece. probably not others,
