Additional Information
Features
Introduced in the era immediately following World War II, Smith & Wesson designed the Model 36 to provide a weapon that could fire the more powerful .38 Special round in a small, concealable package. Like nearly all other J-frame Smith & Wesson revolvers, The Model 36 has a 5-round capacity in a swing-out cylinder and features an exposed hammer. While the Model 36 is slightly heavier than its aluminum-framed brother, the Model 37, the 36's steel frame provides greater heft and comfort for many shooters while reducing felt recoil.

Glad I bought it
We should all have a classic whether it's original or new. This happens to be new and improved which makes it a joy to carry and depend on.With the right ammo and training this has been a staple in protection for decades and if you need more than 5 rounds to protect yourself from a critical incident then you need more training,read the stats. This offers less recoil than the Air weights.
