I just acquired a Smith & Wesson Model 36, 2 inch barrel, square butt, with the serial number J746XXX and I have a few questions that maybe those “in the know” could help me with. I believe this gun was manufactured about 1979.........
Is it ok to very occasionally use +P ammo in this gun?
Is it safe to carry this gun hammer down over a loaded chamber?
Where could I purchase a new grip screw for this gun?
It has some fairly significant rust spots on the trigger guard, but the rest of the gun is perfect. Is it possible to have a gunsmith polish and re-blue the trigger guard area only, without having to do the entire gun?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Art G.
