Why would you replace the sideplate? Just so it doesn't say lady on it? I buy guns I want and shoot them.

There's a 2 inch 432 PD on gunbroker right now. FYI.

Smith and Wesson revolvers are not erector sets like AR-15s, you don't just pull off one part and bolt on another.

Leave it alone. Not all side plates are the same dimensions. They are hand fit from the factory.

Quoted: I have a weird itch for a four inch .32 H&R. They’re not that common and a lot of them were made with ladysmith marked sideplates. I was thinking to myself that sending a back to s it’s for a new side plate might be somewhat easier than buying hens teeth .32s. Lady Smiths generally have a frosted finish. Also, sideplates are not drop-in parts. What's wrong with the gun saying LadySmith on the side? Are you afraid the fellas will make fun of you and call you a girl? |

Well if two stainless 4” guns in .32 H&R were sitting side by side I would grab the non chick one. That said if I saw a LS at a bargain price I would fo. I could tell people it was my grandma’s and I am keeping it for when the right woman comes along.  I would certainly have the factory fit a plate if it wasn’t stupidly cost prohibitive. Just thinking out loud. The old model 16 4” gun’s are stupid money. Not really looking for a snub size, just a range toy and field carry gun. I really have zero need, I have at least five 357s.  |

FWIW, I get it. The .32 is a cool little caliber. I have a S&W 31 in .32 Long with a 2" barrel. Neat gun. As for the Ladysmith, there were a couple of configurations that can almost only be found as a LS model . . . . AFAIK, the only way to get a 3-inch Model 65 with a ejector rod shroud (like a M66) is to buy a 65LS. They also made a 3-inch Model 60 Ladysmith (an unusual configuration for a M60). If you want a Model 3913 auto without an ambi safety the LadySmith is one way to get it (though they did make some non-LS 3913 that were slabsided on the right but they're not all that common). |

It’s the diminutive bore that makes it fun. Prefer 70-90’s Classic looks to the thirties vintage look you get with .32 long or .32-20.

Just FYI yesterday I was quoted a 6 month turnaround for a new side plate on a 442. I imagine it would be same for your lady smith
