S&W Model 65 Lady Smith
TITLE SHOULD READ: S&W MODEL 65 LADY SMITH
I’ve posted in the past about shooting with Arthritis.
Gave up on my Colt 1911 due to working the slide and magazines. Just a bit much for my old hands.
I settled on what I found to be the perfect gun for me in an S&W Model 65-5 with 3” heavy barrel.
I may go for an S&W 65 Lady Smith just because I would like another 357.
Been traveling around looking and handling other revolvers. As much as I like the S&W 686 3” barrel, it’s just a little to bulky to get a good grip on without some pain in my hands.
If I decide to go with the 686, what would be the best grip to go with for my arthritic hands?
Although the weight alone, nearly 3 pounds might be the factoring deterrent for not going with the L frame.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
