Model 36 Chief's Special

[olds]

Anyone have one?
Wife wants one. Probably put Crimson Trace grips on it.

I've owned 2 snub nose 38's. One S&W Airweight and one Taurus. The Taurus was decent but I ended up trading it for a surfboard. The S&W Airweight was fairly punishing to shoot because it didn't have much heft to it and accuracy out past 15' was poor at best so I ended up selling it.

Great gun for backup but not a great gun for range duty or fun.

What is her intended use for this weapon?

Or were you trolling for homicidal supercomputers?

HD and possible CCW. She shot one before and was comfortable with it.
I tried to get her interested in a 4" 357 with 38 loads but she felt it was too heavy.
I agree the the Airweight would be a handful.
The red dot grips give her a lot of confidence.

Now while I agree any shooter should be comfortable with the firearm they use, any sort of laser shooting system give up the tactical advantage by allowing a target to know that they have not only been seen but can alos indicate to a target where a shooter is. There is also the issue of it being used as a crutch to being a proficient shooter no matter situation (day time versus night). Just my two cents.

Personally I would go with a LCR with Hogue grips.

Just get her a Taurus with good grips, save some cash and apply it towards real defense ammo.

If she'll be getting her CCW go with a hammer-less design.

Yeah, I've got one.

I think it a good choice for concealed carry, which is what I use it for.

Deal.
When your wife gets back from Japan have her take your dick out of her purse and mail it here.
I'll have the missus blow it, staple a check to it and send it back.

I am willing to make a mold and mail it to you for those pics.

Jules for you I'd just rent a Lotus and show up at your door. My boy Sven will knock then walk back and sit shotgun.

Enjoy your alone time at my pedals.

Nope but it's worth a look, thanks.

I know we aren't even talking the same league but for something small have you considered the beretta px4 sub compact?

Haven't shot it. She shot a Kahr PM9 and didn't like it.

I have an older Model 60. Same wood grips, J-frame, but stainless.
Great gun for backup but not a great gun for range duty or fun. Jules nails it.

Has your wife tried the S&W yet?

 

[PhoKingGuy]

CCW in CA? How does that work

Where I live, if you are not prohibited, it's pretty much "shall issue".

Yes, that's why I am looking for the model 36. She shot it and liked it. Which will go a long way in getting her to shoot it a lot/train with it.
I know my wife. If she's unsure or doesn't care for it, she's not going to have anything to do with it. If I get her something she's expressed interest in, she will master it.

Now I need to find a range with the Charter Arms....

EDIT
And she wants nickel or stainless.

 

[mizzou]

Crazy how expensive those little things are new

Ive carried one since the 60s. (Yeah, Im old) Great compromise gun. Easy to carry in pocket, purse or Uncle Mikes in waistband, accurate enough for the purpose and if you need more than 5 shots you are probably in more trouble than you know. Hydra-Shok +Ps FTW.
Ive got 2 Berettas also but usually grab this one still.
Had a Taurus hammerless for a while but I like the cocking sound too much to live without it.

She might like a trigger shoe also.
