The .265 hammer is factory bobbed with no spur, for a premeditated first shot from resting position, single action thereafter.

This Ladysmith comes to us from security duty in the Land of Israel, attest its import marking on left side of slide, and the importer hang tag in its box. Surface detractions are moderate, principally edge wear, right side grip wear, and lateral holster wear to the slide. We rate this 3913 as Very Good, 75 percent vicinity by our estimate, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. We estimate this pistol has been fired fewer than 1500 times, no rounds at all for a Second Gen Metal Frame S&W.
