****SOLD**** Smith & Wesson Model 36 Revolver Chambered in .38 Special Caliber **Pinned Barrel - Mfg 1973**

Description:
****SOLD**** Here we have a 1973 mfg Smith & Wesson Model 36 snub nosed revolver chambered in .38 special caliber. The Smith & Wesson Model 36 (also known as the Chief's Special) is a revolver chambered for .38 Special. It is one of several models of J-frame revolvers. It was introduced in 1950, and is still in production in the classic blued Model 36 and the stainless steel Model 60. The Model 36 was designed in the era just after World War II, when Smith & Wesson stopped producing war materials and resumed normal production. For the Model 36, they sought to design a revolver that could fire the more powerful (compared to the .38 Long Colt or the .38 S&W) .38 Special round in a small, concealable package. Since the older I-frame was not able to handle this load, a new frame was designed, which became the J-frame. This particular example is in good overall condition with some high edge wear, loss of some finish at the muzzle and some finish loss on the cylinder. The action locks up tight and true and both single and double action work well. The 2 inch barrel is pinned and has strong rifling. This revolver would make a fine carry gun in states where that is permitted or a fine addition to an existing collection.
