One of my current favorites...

Mine, too.

They are highly under rated IMO

The Model 37 has been getting the job done for decades. Good choice for anyone looking for a light and powerful concealed carry revolver.

I like the "long range" version.

The "artillery" model. :)

No revolver of it's power class conceals better.
I have two model 37's and a 442.
The 442 is great for front pocket carry when I am in something other than jeans, like cargo pants, just think the hammerless look is kind of ugly.

My very first carry piece! That was the first Smith I ever owned and I'm still not done.
You'll find it sitting with it's brothers....;)

I have had several over the years. Here are a couple of them. One modern and one classic:

Had one of these burn up in a fire back in 1981. :mad: :(

Where did you get those wild stocks?
Never seen anything like that. :)

Those are from Thailand. You'll find them on ebay.

Is the white lettering on those factory or an owner mod?

 

[KEN L]

Factory does it.

Anyone know what year S&W began with the white lettering on the blued airweights? Just curious.

The 37 is my favorite lightweight J carry revolver. The two modern versions I have stay in regular rotation, and the vintage 1970s model comes out to play on occasion.

All those variation are just so darn Perty.

I'm surprised that the factory would put a nice matte finish on a gun (me like), then do flashy white lettering (not so much). Kinda defeats the whole purpose. 45wheelgun, is that a factory DAO 37-2 wearing those Thai grips?

Yes that is/was a factory 37-2 with factory bobbed hammer. Sadly that gun, with those grips was stolen from me, so be on the look out for it.

Now I search for a factory 37-2 to replace it with. I bought that gun brand new when they came out several years ago. Lots of excitement around them at the time because they were the first non-lock gun to be released by S&W since they put locks in them.

Makes me sad to think about it.

I'm a big pinned-barrel fan, but the 1995 (?) issue 36-2 and 2005 (?) issue 37-2 are two modern guns I'd like to own. Not only no-lock, but old-style frame & hammer-nose firing pin too!

Mod 37

I carried this in Cuba during the blockade and three tours in SE Asia,

 

[WCraven]

Is the mod 38 pretty much the same gun other then the hump back with bobbed hammer?

 

[JcMack]

I bought this one yesterday.

 

[stu1ritter]

May I join the herd please.
Bought new in 1978. Sunday go to meeting grips. Usually wears Pachmayr compacts in either a Lobo pocket holster or a Lobo slide on the belt.

The Model 38 is the Airweight version of the humpback Bodyguard.

 

[WCraven]

I know what the mod 38 is

 

[elm_creek_smith]

My all the time gun. Factory nickel from 1982 with Hogue Bantam grip.
