a friend of mine has this gun and it says lady smith, i assume it is made for a women but looks like it would make a great concealed pistol. light and very small, gonna get to see and shoot it tomorrow. just wondering what it might be worth. any ideas??

They are great guns, the marketing was to target female consumers but you are correct, it would make an excellent conceal and carry gun. They ain't cheap tho.

We have one that was my grandmothers, very nice piece and very functionable weapon.

Here is what it's supposed to look likethats from gun trader.com. Nice gun, probably worth $500.00-$600.00 in today's market nib condition, maybe a little more. My wife has a S&W airwieght which is hammerless which I like better for concealed carry.

OK, THANKS, well he has it priced right, 300 bucks with holster. he bought for his wife and she want carry it.. gonna find out more tomorrow....goin to a dove hunt on his place.

If it is in good shape 300 is a great buy. I paid 370 for the .38 cal airwieght I was speaking of, that was 4-5 years ago and they are 550 or so now.

Get the hammerless for concealed carry. A good price is not necessarily a good buy.

Why? I would like to know why you say that? Not being a smart ass just would like to know why you like the hammerless? I'm just old school!

I would guess the thought is that if you have the hammerless you dont have to worry bout the hammer hangin up on stuff as your pulling it out. JMO

I have never had a problem with pulling my .357 the hammer is never that far down (above belt line)! But I do practice every week at least 2 days a week!
