Smith And Wesson Model 37 Airweight Serial NumbersWesson

Make: Smith & Wesson Model: 37 Chiefs Special Airweight Round-Butt J-Frame Serial Number: 78J371 Year of Manufacture: 1969-1982 (The J serial-prefix was introduced in 1969, the pinned barrel was deleted in 1982. Due to the odd serial number, we cannot narrow down the manufacture year more. Please see Our Assessment for more information.). The Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight is a compact snub-nosed revolver chambered in 38 special. This model is a lighter weight version of the Model 36 'Chief's Special' and was commonly carried. That serial number dates to 1956. Model numbers were introduced in 1957, which is why yours doesn't have a model number stamping. If the hammer spur is fully exposed then you have a Chiefs Special Airweight, later known as the model 37.

Overview

Now you can own a piece of history with a revolver from the Smith & Wesson Classics line. The Classics bring timeless and coveted models back in production. Each model, known for its legendary performance, has been enhanced with modern advantages. Smith & Wesson Classics embody the best of both worlds.

This small revolver, designed primarily for plainclothesmen and off-duty police officers, made its public debut at The International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in 1950. At the conference, the Smith & Wesson sales force asked the police chiefs to vote on a name for the new revolver. The most commonly suggested name was .38 Chief’s Special®. Designed with the needs of law enforcement officials in mind, the Chief’s Special proved to be a popular revolver for personal protection due to its size and weight. When Smith & Wesson adopted model numbers in 1957, the Chiefs Special became the Model 36.
