A local gunshop just got about 15 police trade ins, Mod 36, Mod 37, blued, nickel, airweights, you name it. Prices are from $339 to blued Mod 36 to $349 for the Mod 37 airweights

Well I'm glad I asked, I have never even heard of that ammo company

Just purchased a model 36, intend to carry it. What ammo would you all recommend? The guy I got it from said he used to carry "Super Vel 110gr" in it, but obviously Super Vel no longer exists. Cannot decide if I should do a decent weight bullet and normal speed, or +p light and fast

Well to be fair, his is beat up pretty good, someone didn't take very good care of it, pitting here and there but it shoots Yours is in excellent condition

actually as of 10 minutes ago, I have bigger problems I was cleaning the new model 36, wife comes down stairs "what are you doing" "oh nothing honey just cleaning an ol' gun" "oh thats nice, I like that, it'll fit in my purse and its cute" So I guess I no longer own a model 36, back on the...

hahahahahahahahaha

Do you mind me asking what you paid? My Dad just purchased a nice 17-2 a few weeks ago from a pawn shop for $375. We tried to get them to go lower, but no deal, so settled on $ 375 OTD and its a sweet shooter!

I think so, this one is like new, got it from an older guy who used it as a night stand gun, $300. Always wanted a 36, could never find one less then $400-450, or I'd find them for $300 beat up and ugly.

wow you guys are quick! Thank you so much for your help, and I'm pleased with the answer, was hoping it was a 1970's smith as they seem to be of excellent quality as I've been advised
