The Smith & Wesson 14076 Model 36 J-Frame is a compact, traditional blued carbon steel revolver that brings the classic S&W Classics line into a modern carry and collection role, with a 1.88" blued barrel, blued cylinder and steel frame that deliver durable corrosion resistance and a vintage look, while the five-shot cylinder and .38 Special +P chambering provide stout stopping power in a small-package defensive handgun. The exposed hammer and DA/SA trigger give you the option of a quick double-action press or a controlled single-action break for accurate follow-up shots, and the checkered wood grip and 1.23 lb weight make the J-Frame comfortable for everyday carry and easy to conceal for off-duty carry, pocket carry, or a saddlebag backup. Sights are a fixed blade front with a rear integral slot in the frame to keep snag-free carry, and the solid, no-internal-lock frame preserves a traditional operational feel that collectors and shooters appreciate; whether youre building a collection of Smith & Wesson revolvers or looking for a dependable short-barrel defensive wheelgun, the Model 36 delivers classic styling, reliable performance, and straightforward controls.
