J-frame, 3" Targets

I am very fond of Chiefs Special Targets in both 2" and 3"

For this thread, I will only go into the longer barreled ones

Here is a nice old square butt Model 36 Chiefs Special Target. This one dates back to 1975

Here is the much more modern looking Model 36 Chiefs Special Target with it's full lug barrel. This one was produced in 1989

Then there is the stainless Model 60 Chiefs Special Target. This one is a Lew Horton Exclusive offering. It is a Factory Mag-Na-Ported revolver named the Small Hunter 182 were produced in 1997

My most modern stainless Chiefs Special Target is a Model 60 Pro. These came with a Tritium insert in the front sight. Being such a small vial in the thin sight blade most people thought the sights were dead on arrival. There was so little Tritium gas in the vial, it needed a very dark room and time for your eyes to adjust so that it could be seen, definitely a bad choice of sight. This one was produced in 2008

While not a square butt, these factory supplied grips are very hand filling
