A classic revolver that is still relevant today. Accurate, safe, conceals well. Highly recommended.

I had two or three of these in the past, friends talked me out of them but I figured that I could always get another. Then Covid and the world changed and guns dried up. I saw this late one nigjht at Buds and ordered it. Same great quality but higher price than before. Hey, it's a new world and we have to deal with it. I wanted it and very happy that I picked it up. You can cry or buck up, I'll be sure not to let this one go.

The Smith & Wesson M36 is a true classic. What I like most about the fine firearm is it controllable. Pulling the trigger doesn't result in a major kick compared to many 38s. This allows me to be back on target. It was carried by thousands of cops because it is a concealable close-range controllable weapon. Yeah, it doesn't have a ten-round mag. It's a revolver for crying out loud, it works. If you need more than five rounds, you didn't practice.

Great little snub nose .38. I think all revolvers look better blue, and I'm a fan of classics. Made this a easy choice for a carry gun. Shooting .38's with this, be prepared for some snap, but it can be done. Like most light weight revolvers in .38. This one is a bit better due to the added weight of being all steel.
She is a looker, that is for sure. I'm happy with my Chief's Special.

This is the best revolver anybody could ever need. I liked it so much, in the 43 years I have had my concealed carry permit, I have purchased 5 Model 36's over the years. I keep coming back to this gun as it just works best for me. It's the last gun I'll ever have to buy in my life. I remember I paid $150. for my first one, so I will not be selling this one like the last 4 ones. I sold my Colt Cobra to get this gun, as the Colt was to heavy for me. It was a great gun, great trigger pull, but to big for my needs. Can't go wrong with any S&W firearm. Stay safe out there everyone.

Buds is always has good inventory, best prices, and fast shipping with tracking numbers, best deal in town. The Smith and Wesson is, in my opinion, the best made. Too nice to carry, the bodyguard 38 with the crimson tracer is a better carry, both high quality and both shoot 38spc+P 158 grain hollow point. The model 36 allows single action and the Bodyguard 38 is double action only but does not have the hammer where as the hammer on the classic Model 36 will sometimes catch on clothing when conceal carry. At the range and using single action , the model 36 is dead on. When using double action, I tend to have more trigger finger pull and shoot to the right.

I absolutely love this firearm. I've bought many other pistols but still find myself using this for my EDC. Very easy and comfortable to conceal and a pleasure to shoot. One of my favorite guns I own.

I bought this M36 after selling an air-weight S&W .38. The air-weight was just to light. The Model 36 offers great dependability and a good round and the regular weight helps reduce the recoil to manageable levels without being to bulky. The air-weights just weren't for me. I will stick with the M36. Great firearm.

The Smith and Wesson Model 36 Classic is outstanding; the fit and finish is top quality, and the trigger pull is smooth and slick as ice. This snubby revolver will shoot lights-out if you practice and practice often. You will not be disappointed with this fine and classic firearm from Smith and Wesson. Cheers to Buds Gun Shop for the excellent service.

Bought the model 36 classic with the team buds lay away. Which was really easy to do. Once I paid it off it was at my local ffl within 3 days buds has fast shipping. Upon opening the case before signing paper work the gun was in flawless condition works as it should. About the gun. It does have the internal lock. Some hate it some don't mind. The lock does not bother me at all, with it being the classic line it does have the old flat cylinder release instead of the newer style. The lock up and timing are solid and perfect. The trigger is well it's a J frame trigger not much else to say about that. Only got to shoot it a hand full of times but it is my EDC I couldn't be any happier with my experience working with buds.
