The Kindle version is around $15. As Shaun says, likely 1983...or later. Around that time, S&W switched to a three alpha, up to 4 numeric numbering system like BBBxxxx Here's the lookup table. J Serial Prefix Models: 36, 37, 38, 49, 50.
Wiregrassguy. 26301 posts · Joined 2012. #4 · Mar 20, 2021. Model 36 serial 664879 was shipped in June 1968. Model 36 serial 673307 was shipped from the factory in August 1968. Model 36 716738 was shipped in February 1969. I would say August or September 1968. Guy. S&WCA LM#2629 | Ex-Navy Vietnam Vet.
With cylinder swung out the yoke is stamped 36-1. The hammer main spring is coil type with center rod and ball on lower end instead of leaf spring. RH side plate has only three screws. Serial number on bottom of frame is only three digit, 9XXJ1. I have been told it is an early model 36-10 not 36-1.
The Model 37 should be a little more accurate than the M-36 because of the extra barrel length. But because of the lightweight frame it might not be as easy to shoot. The weight is what reduces the felt recoil. Both of these were designed to shoot 38 Special ammo in the 158 grain bullet weight.
If it doesn't cycle the full action, you have more than 8.25 pounds of trigger pull force required. If it does pull the trigger, remove 1/4 pound of water and try again. Keep doing it until you don't cycle the full action with the weight. The last weight that cycled the action is your trigger pull. Cheers!

Happened to me with my model 360 when exercising it at the range. Was fortunate to find the latch and S&W replaced the screw.
Welcome to the forums from the cotton and peanut covered plains of the Wiregrass! Your Chiefs Special Model 36 was made in 1971-72. Guy. S&WCA LM#2629 | Ex-Navy Vietnam Vet. / Submariner | NRA Member | S&W Historical Foundation.
model 36 VS Classics model 36. Are tere any real differences in quality between the two? obvious thing ive noticed is that the hammer mounted firing pin is on the older models. Only other thing, and this may be my imagination, but it seems like the curve on the back where the hammer sits is widened/less of a curve on the newer S&W classics line ...
Model 36 grip options. I this is a S&W 36 no dash. I believe it’s classified as a “round” butt, please correct me if I am wrong. Will “bodyguard” grips fit it or round butt only grips.. Any J frame grips will fit. Original S&W J frame target grips fit round or square butt guns.
Welcome to the forum from sunny Florida. Nice price on your Model 36. The serial number makes it part of the floating "j" series and I do not have info on that however others will for sure.
