About the Smith & Wesson 36
The Smith & Wesson Model 36 Classic (the original "Chief’s Special") is a small J-frame .38 Special revolver with a 1.88" barrel, a 5-round cylinder, and fixed sights in traditional blue. It’s the revolver that established the modern concealed-carry snub-nose category decades ago, still built to the same compact J-frame dimensions. Ask Miami Guns about current stock.
