Description:
This older 1971 S&W Police model 37 was fired once. 20 rounds. In 99% condition. Wood handle see many pictures:
Carl Hellstrom, the first head of the company not from the Wesson family, had the engineering department revamp the I-frame in order to produce a smaller .38 Special revolver. The changes involved slightly increasing the size of the I-frame and changing from a flat mainspring to a coil mainspring. This new frame was designated the J-frame, and in October 1950 the first J-frame .38 Special left the factory. It was introduced to the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACOP) at its conference held in Colorado Springs that year. A contest to name the new gun was conducted at that conference. Because it was designed as a plainclothes man’s weapon, the name “.38 Chiefs Special” was the favorite name and it stuck. Eventually the .38 was dropped, and everybody just called it a Chiefs Special.
