36-1 3 inch

[3S16]

So, I'm mostly a K and N frame kinda guy. I like guns with "Heft". I focus on Pre lock 3" N frames and 2 1/2" and 3" K frames.
The other day, I came across a circa 1973 3 inch round butt 36-1.
I was intrigued. It was, well, dare I say, "Dainty" in comparison. I never met a 3 inch S&W that I didn't love. Great condition. Box, Docs, and tools - what's not to love.
Unfortunately, that is what my wife thought too. Now it's her CCW.

Trying to upload a pic as an attachment but can't make the last step up.won't go on page. Think it is working. 36-1 with square butt and adjustable sights. Best all around J frame I've ever owned. Gun was smithed back in the early 80s.

Nice gun, I'm fixing up a 36 myself, but can't seem to locate the extractor rod for the 3" barrel, so take care of it, most parts I find are for the 2" barrel

Jack First is where I would look first, then Gun parts corp. Acessories/parts on this forum in a WTB might snag one.

Are the adjustable sights OEM ?
