I had to have one

[HowieR]

I originally saw this revolver on the S&W website as I was trolling for a new carry piece. So it all started. I am new here but there is always a Howie story. My father carried a 50's 36 Chiefs special that he bobbed the hammer on with a hacksaw and a file, always in the front pocket in a Bianchi Suede Holster. the diamond service grips were on it were pretty much smooth as it went everywhere with him. I saw this one loved the configuration so I pulled the trigger so to speak. Yes, this will be carried, I got it yesterday and shot it , the trigger will break in nice (i may give it a little help also) Thanks for the special model 36 .

That buckle was made in the 60''s at S&W in Springfield by a Smith there, it was a gift from a MA state trooper who was the model for S&W's Magazine ad's

Happy to hear you like the 36. That belt buckle is badass - great story to accompany it, too. Thanks for sharing the pic.

And of course I have to get the FE Holster - can never have enough of them

The question is: which color?

Such a cool backstory. I would love to see a picture of the two guns side by side if you ever get the opportunity. Glad you like this project!

The bad side about it is I do not have his old one , he passed 10 Years ago and surprisingly no one knows where it went. ( I have an Idea though) In those days even in this anti gun state I am sure there was no paperwork done on it. Roughly 70 years ago.

All thats left is Red so I guess everyone will know that it is my holster

That's a badass lil Roscoe. I want one more every time I see it. Well done.

Sorry for your loss. If you ever want to go on a repo mission, I’m sure some guys here would jump in.
