The S&W Model 65 "Ladysmith".
There is something about 3" K-frame revolvers. They have enough heft to shoot without punishing recoil, enough of a barrel to get meaningful velocity out of the cartridges and the round-butt guns carry very well. The fixed-sight guns (M13, M65) are all business and were popular guns for detectives who felt they might need to use it.
Anyhoo, if you want this one, expect a winning bid will be over a grand.

that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

I'm no expert, but how is the gun in the photos a "K Frame" round butt? It appears pretty squared off. Unless that only refers to the backstrap. I have an "N Frame" Governor round butt (my brother's is square) and it is the base of the grip that is rounded. Sweet gun anyway, especially pre-lock, but there is no way I'm carrying a gun engraved "Lady Smith". Current bid $630
ReplyDeleteAt first quick glance it read “SAW Model 65 Ladysmith”…that caused a second take. Looking further, “round butt”, oh dear…I don’t really wonder how it got THAT name.
ReplyDeleteThis is a square butt S&W revolver.
ReplyDeleteGlypto Dropem,
ReplyDeleteThe Governor is not an N-frame. Your Governor is a round butt. If you take the grips off, you will see the bottom of the grip frame on your round-butt Governor is flat.
Comrade Misfit,
ReplyDeleteDon’t forget that, other than the PC-13, the 65LS is the only way to get a shrouded ejector rod on a 3”, HB, RB, FS K-frame.
