Description:
The Model 36, or as it was originally known, the Chief’s Special is one of the most influential revolvers in history. Many modern conceal carry revolvers have some relation to or take inspiration from this firearm. The Chief’s Special introduced the S&W J-frame onto the market as well the .38 Special chambered in revolvers small enough to be carried concealed. Previously, the only revolver small enough to chamber the .38 Special were the larger S&W K-frame models and Colt’s Official Police. Their size made concealment somewhat difficult. The J-frame was essentially a larger version of the I-frame which normally was chambered for the .22 LR, .32 S&W Long, and .38 S&W Short. Smith and Wesson modified the I-frame design to be longer and taller (the latter because of the use of a coiled mainspring rather than a coiled leaf spring) in order to fit the .38 Special. The Chief’s Special and the new frame design were such a success that S&W upgraded their I-frame models to the newer J-frame. The Chief’s Special was introduced in 1950 and was renamed as the Model 36 in 1957. It has spawned many variations, including the Model 37, 38, 40, 42, 50, 442, 637, 642, and others. The Model 36 shown was, according to the Standard Catalogue of Smith & Wesson, 4th Ed., produced during the 1986 – 1987 period. The revolver is in good condition with some minor wear. The barrel exhibits a few spots which could be corrected with the proper polishing compound. The barrel appears to have some light frosting present, though it may just be lead fouling in the barrel. In contrast, the front face of the cylinder very little in the way of powder burns. The revolver has not been fired much since leaving the factory. The nickel finish overall remains in excellent shape. The grips are checkered walnut and feature the standard S&W medallions. The Model 36 comes with its original box.
