According to SCS&Ws, it was a special/short factory run. If you have a copy of SCS&Ws, check not only under "model 36", but under "model 50" as well.
Lets see your 3" J-Frames!!

Ken,
That's gorgeous! I have a 36-6, 3" target with full lug barrel like the one above and they only came in bead blast/matte black. If they weren't so rare (615 made in 1989) or if I find a well used one, I'd have it finished in full polish blue like your gun.
Yours has the target trigger already. Have you considered a J frame wide target hammer for yours? I really like the one I put on my 36-6 (my limited production 60-4 target, earliest made, was the only model S&W ever equipped with a casehardened centerfire target hammer. See Bronco's on 1st page; later they were chrome plated) and I put one on my .32 target as well. Now they all feel like my Mod 34 .22s.

Mickstix: The grip that you asked about on page 1 of this thread are grips made by Eagle Grips out of Illinois/India. The wood is Indian Rosewood.
Quality control is a bitty iffy with their products, at least IMHO and experience with same.

Bronco, are you referring to the gun picture I posted, or your Model 60, as having the "eagle" grips?? I've seen their website and so far there about as close as I can find to the ones on the pic I posted..
Thanks again everyone for posting your great lookin firearms!! Keep it up, everyone enjoys seeing pix!!

Hey Mickstix I think they are Eagle Grips from about 15 years ago . I have some on a 4" 66 sq butt ,very comfortable but fit is a little iffy.
Here's a couple more 3 inchers.
The mod 60 my wife stole from me(I still get to borrow it )
And a 632 32 mag.
Are Eagle Grips and Art Jewel the same company? The outfit I'm thinking of definitely imports Indian-made grips like those in the photo cited. (NOT the grips seen just above.)

Not the best picture but the only one I have.
I really like the balance of the 3" J Frames.
These are my .32 3 inchers: I's, Improved I's and J frame.

sigp220.45. Paid 425.00 for my 36-6. How much did you rescue that 36 for from the pawn shop?
Mine is a great shooter as are most of my 3" Smith's. Was going to pack it till I found out it's rather rare.

I gave $350. It had some awful homemade grips on it, so I got the J frame targets. They make it look like a miniature 586.

Did better than me, but I'm very happy with the price and revolver. Slapped a set of Ahrends on mine. Much better fit and look. Congrats and thanks for getting back to me.

36-6 with the factory original grips. One of the most accurate small handguns I have ever owned.

I'll second that. Have 5 3" S&W's from J-N frames and they are ALL very accurate. My 36-6, like yours comes in second in the accuracy department behind my 3" 66-2. I like shooting 12" plates with them at 100 yds. Surprize alot of my buds with hits from the little guys.
