If you like the gun and its mechanically sound plus added sentimental value as first carry gun- buy it. Super great deals are nice but not frequent.

i think thats about what i paid new in the 70's what a diff in action compared to my new 442

4runner, I predict you will love it. I have always wanted a three-inch Chiefs Special, and I found a 36-1 last Spring. I paid the same as you. I had Ray from LoboGunLeather make the flap holster, added a Tyler-t grip, and got the box and papers from another member. I carry the little shooter on the farm in the flap holster without worrying about getting it beat up. I load it with wadcutters over 4.6 grains Unique for general use, and keep a CCI snake load first up in the cylinder during snake season.

4runner - I too think you'll be pleased. Mine is a round butt, just today I passed on a square butt version which I would like to add to the collection, it wasn't shot much but had a fair amount of bluing wear. Theres something about a 3" J frame! Be sure to post a pic when you get it.

i allways liked the 3 inch my original had a non heavy barrel but i always liked the looks and balance of the three inch bull barrel as we used to call them they are a classic next i wood love to find a m15 2inch

I could've done without the picture of the snake! (SHIVERS) At least it's a GOOD snake.

I still have my round butt M36-1... "heavy barrel" but not too heavy. Still have the Bianchi iwb holster. I was thinner then & could carry it (banna grips & all) under a light shirt.
