Smith & Wesson actually marketed this hotrod Model 36 as a limited edition.

What have we become?

Ed Rasimus said...: Actually, that's kind of tasty. I like the wood and the color case hardened trigger and hammer. The cylinder simply personalizes it a bit. Now if it were done in candy apple red that would be ugly.

The kandy-colored tangerine flake streamline snubbie?; 8:19 AM

Lokidude said...: No love for the J-flame? I almost bought one, but it was $200 more than a non-flamed one, and twice as much as the one I bought.; 10:31 AM
Anonymous said...: Agreed! Those flames should be in red. Or orange.

Rorschach said...: That gun must have an excessive gap between the cylinder and the forcing cone, it would appear that there is excessive gas cutting erosion on the cylinder. Funny, it even looks like flames... (/sarc); 12:25 PM

Isaac Coverstone said...: I don't think it's that bad, maybe even a little cool. Or is it hot? If I got a good deal on it, I wouldn't mind carrying it.; 3:35 PM
Karl said...: That's not bad.... More funny than bad... I guess that would be a nice BBQ gun.; 8:12 PM

I probably wouldn't pass up a really good deal on either.; 10:27 PM
Tam said...: I'm not sure what it says about me that the first thing I noticed was that it has that darn ugly new contour to the rear of the frame around the hammer and then... Huh? Ick! Dear gawd what have they done to the cylinder!; 11:02 AM

Isn't this technically a Model 60? Just wonderin'...

Just a shadow for the especially observant.; 5:47 PM
P said...: So what da matter!?! Pimps need good guns too.; 5:07 AM
SpeakerTweaker said...: I almost feel the need to apologize, but I must most respectfully disagree.

I think that thing is awesome!

Jonathan said...: Question: Why does it have flames?

Answer (In Christopher Walkin voice): because it's FAST!; 8:29 PM
