No offense to them that has 'em & likes 'em, but IMHO that "Classic model 36" is a joke. It is NOT a classic model 36, it has the internal lock. And even if you don't mind the lock, the revolver frame was re-shaped to accomodate it which ruined the looks of the gun. Check the curvature of the frame in the area of the hammer. The Bodyguard & Centennial style frame shapes aren't affected by the lock, but the exposed-hammer guns sure are.
It's highly unlikely, but if they came out with a no-lock Classic 36 with the older-style frame shape it'd sure be an improvement.
