 Smith & Wesson Handguns
Later designated the "Model 36" when S&W began to assign modern model numbers in 1957, the.38 Chiefs Special was thus the first S&W J-Frame revolver, the first ultracompact.38 Special, and the ancestor of all the variant forms (from all makers) that followed--including the shrouded.38 Bodyguard, the hidden-hammer DAO Centennial series, and the aluminum-frame Airweights.
Six years later, the Model 60 was an instant runaway best-seller, as were the other police-format stainless models introduced in quick succession afterward.
And when S&W's sportsmen's stainless guns hit the shelves, in the form of the Model 63 stainless.22 Kit Gun, the six-inch version of the Model 66, and, spectacularly, the first stainless-steel.44 Magnum Model 629 (December 1978), the cake was fully iced.
