It was quite a treat when I happened a while back upon a Model 637 surrounded by its concealed hammer cousins, the 442 and 642. Today, the Model 37 is no longer in production, but its stainless-steel son, the Model 637, is still alive and kicking.
It retained the traditional lines of the Model 36, but was lighter in weight. This traditional five-shot 38 Special revolver with an exposed hammer was immensely popular and spawned several variants including the aluminum framed Model 37. Smith & Wesson’s small framed revolvers are by far their most popular and have been going strong nearly seventy years starting with the introduction of the Chief’s Special back in 1950. 38 Special is still arguably the gold standard and a hot item to be found at many a big box store and mom-and-pop shop. But despite the number of revolvers out there today for both sport and personal defense, the J-frame Smith & Wesson. Single action 22 rimfires, chunky Ruger double actions, Taurus Judges, and perhaps even older Colt or Smith & Wesson police trade-ins with varying degrees of wear and tear. Walk into any gun store and you will find revolvers.
