I thought there were fairly rare until today. Gunshow in Knoxville had 5 or 6 of them. I bought the best lol. Looks to be test fired only. With correct box.
I have had one for probably 35 years! Shoots more like a Mdl 10 than a snubby, and tbe ejector clears 38 cases from the cylinder. Actually a 3" 36 was the first revolver I ever shot.
Congrats on your first 3 inch 36. I was fortunate enough to pick up a 3 inch round butt 36-1 two weeks ago. It seems almost "Dainty" compaired to my 3 inch K and N frames. I like it a lot!
It may be your first, but once you shoot it, it probably won’t be your last. Three inch barrels on J and K frames are my favorite, especially with the round butt.
