Smith & Wesson 36 Classic 1.875″ 38SPL 5rd Blued

The Smith & Wesson Model 36 Chiefs Special is a small revolver that was first showcased at The International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in 1950. It was primarily designed for plainclothesmen and off-duty police officers. During the conference, the Smith & Wesson sales force asked the police chiefs to vote on a name for the new revolver, and the most commonly suggested name was .38 Chief’s Special. The Chief’s Special was created keeping the needs of law enforcement officials in mind and quickly gained popularity as a revolver for personal protection due to its compact size and lightweight. In 1957, when Smith & Wesson introduced model numbers, the Chief’s Special became known as the Model 36. The Smith & Wesson Model 36 Chiefs Special is a classic, double-action revolver with a small frame. It chambered the .38 Special cartridge and features a 1.875″ barrel, carbon frame, and blue finish. The revolver is equipped with wood grips and front interchangeable sights. It has a capacity of 5 rounds. The specific model number for this variant is 150184.
