Picked up a 37-1 last week for only $250. Haven't been able to find out much about it. Only had a handful of rounds shot thru it. They said it had to much recoil.
What can you tell be about it?
Serial number is BNY21XX--When was it born and how many of these did S&W make?
Thanks in advance for you help.

Reason: added pictures.
It's from 1971 -- kind of the opposite of yours because it has a lot of holster wear. I don't think it was shot much before I got it. Most likely someone's backup.
With standard pressure ammo, I don't find the recoil objectionable at all.
