The lady is going after a company for weighted weapons (6)
I believe the answer is:
coshes
'weapons' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'the lady is going after a company for weighted' is the wordplay.
'the lady' becomes 'she' ('she' refers to a woman).
'is going after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'weighted' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'she' put after 'co' is 'coshe'.
'coshe'+'s'='COSHES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coshes that I've seen before include "Weapons with flexible handles" , "Truncheons" .)
