We need to keep this thread going....it's over a year old with no posts. There's something about a J-Frame that just feels right in the jacket pocket. I picked this Model 36 up at the gun show today. It's as close to a 100% gun that I have found. The grips are serial numbered to the gun. It was manufactured 1966-1969. Owner had fired 5 rounds out of it and kept it in his bedside table. Sadly, no box or papers.
