Smith & Wesson Model 36 Ladysmith {.38 Special}
Smith & Wesson’s Ladysmith brand originated in 1902 as a small revolver intended for ladies to defend themselves while bicycling or enjoying other outdoor activities. The Ladysmith was discontinued after company mogul Joseph Wesson learned that ladies involved in less-savory recreation favored it. In the 1980s, Smith & Wesson resurrected the imprint for a series of compact mid-caliber revolvers with carved rosewood grips sized for smaller hands, once again marketed to female shooters. The heavier Model 60 Ladysmith is chambered for .357 Magnum (Damage 3, Strength 2), and the original .22 LR Ladysmith is now a collector’s item (Damage 1, Capacity 7, Cost •••).
