Model 36 $180 otd good deal?
Refinished, worn, timing is okay(not tight) barrel is clean no pit cylinder walls clean. Hammer is bubba'ed some about 50% of the lenght of a regular hammer.
$180 worth it for beater? |

If it functions reliably then yes.

At that price, I'd take two. Or three.

If it shoots buy it. Great home project. The hammer can be replaced, get some good cold blue from Brownells and have at it. Good luck and have fun with it.

This looks about the roughness of it, different grips those, those pachymer ones? roughly same marks on the barrel as the one I saw. The hammer spur is half that though. The pinned firing pin looked a little weird./// ??

Perfect candidate for Art's Belgium blue from Brownies. Someone really bubba'd the hammer. I can see cutting it for a "pocket" pistol but that looks to have some sharp edges.
Estate find, ubber cheap. |

Nice find. I found a rough Colt DS several years ago in a pawn shop for 150 OTD. When I got home and cleaned it up, the "pitting" turned out to be some very old tape residue. You can still find a bargain if you look hard and long.

I traded a well-used Springfield XD 40 subcompact for a near-new nickel plated SW 36-2 last year. It didn't come with papers or a box, but boy, is it a thing of beauty! I put a Tyler T-Grip on it and qualified with it for an off-duty and BUG. My wife has her eyes on it (it IS shiney after all) so I'm looking for an LCR right now.
Monitarily I may have lost, but I didn't need that .40 anyway once I had possession of my XDM40 3.8 compact. Both parties to the trade walked away happy. Last edited by KenW.; March 31, 2013 at 09:07 PM. |

Hi,
I bought a model 36 no dash with very little bluing and pitting on parts of the frame. I paid $100 for it including tax. Too be honest model 36s are not worth that much unless a person finds a 3 inch model. Even an excellent condition one with box to me is worth no more than $325 to $350. They are very common and S&W made a ton of them. I would offer no more than a $100. But that is me. Howard |
