About Real S&W M36 Performance Center Revolver

The S&W M36 Performance Center Revolver is an enhanced version of the iconic Model 36 "Chief's Special," a compact J-frame revolver for concealed carry and self-defense. Crafted by Smith & Wesson's Performance Center, it features precision tuning, smoother trigger pull, and premium finishes for improved accuracy and reliability. Introduced in 1950, the Model 36 chambers .38 Special (+P capable) with a five-round cylinder, a 1.875- or 3-inch barrel, and weighs 19-21 ounces. It has a double/single-action trigger, fixed sights (with possible tritium upgrades), and custom grips from brands like Hogue. Performance Center upgrades include hand-fitted parts, tighter cylinder lockup, and faster reloading. Ideal for backup or collectors, its compact size suits holsters, but the five-round capacity and +P recoil are limitations. Available on secondary markets or through Smith & Wesson, where related models like the Model 37 may also feature upgrades. Check their site for details.
