My Chiefs Special
So I just got this extremely nice gun on mon. A 3 " model 36-1 It may have never been fired and is in excellent shape-as well as the box. I cant wait to shoot it. It has such a lovely blued luster to it. The guys grandfather bought new in 1978 for his wife who never used it...has sales receipt as well. Sure is a nice guns..sw seem addicting!!
What do you guys think?

Square butt with 3" heavy barrel is one of my personal favorites.
Congratulations on a great find!

That looks nice with the aluminum. I cant decide which color to go with, brass might look cool with the bluing and black hip grips...hmmm?

 That 3" M36 is a very nice gun. Did you know they made some with adjustable sights. I really like the Tyler T grips I have them on several of my J and K frame guns. I don't know anything about the clip grip. Don

Apparrently the guy bought 2 at the same time and inks kinda faded, but price was $225-so not sure if that was for both or just the one.

My goodness...I am so jealous. I stumbled across a nice 3913 when not looking and bought it. I wish it were your M36-1 instead. She's a keeper!

Hello lamina,
It's quite a beauty what you got there. exactly in 1978 I bought my first handgun - a mod. 36 with square butt and three inch tube.
It was so accurate, easy to carry - and one of the worst things I ever did was to sell it.
Perhaps you know, but in Germany we have gun laws of dubious intelligence. As a hunter, you are not allowed to own more than two handguns, so if you have two and "fall in love" with a third gun, might be because of the caliber, barrel length or whatever, you have to sell or al least give away one .
Congatulations to you and your gun, you brought kind of tears to my eyes and made me dream about those good old days when I was 21.
Best regards from Germany

Hello again,
no t-grip, no barami, I had a barami and once I got out of my car, I heared a strange sound - my ciefs loosened and went down inside my pants....
Try the small grips from Nill and a good holster.
Yours
Wisent

So i got to fire this beauty yesterday..WOW!!! I was just shooting fmj umc ammo and it was oh so smooth and accurate. Shot only couple cylinders at 20 yds--man what a sweet gun and very accurate. I am so glad I grabbed up this beauty!!!
(stonehorses)Probably no more new guns for a while as just got a 4" 500 sw few months ago-so this was my second sw!

Congrats on the nice revolver
Mine is a standard barrel version and has a fair amount of finish wear, but it is definitely a sweet shooter.
