The S&W M36 2-inch .38 Special Performance Center Model ver. 2 Heavyweight Model Gun is patterned after the 2-inch J Frame revolver, renowned for its compact design and reliability. The revolver is extremely detailed and exudes a classic charm with modernized bits here and there. As a Performance Center Model, the gun is outfitted with rubber Hogue-style grips that beautifully accent the jet black finish on the pistol, and its short form factor reminds you of all the detective/special agent movies one would watch from the 80-90s! This particular M36 replica features a Performance Center Bull Snubnose barrel and a high-visibility front sight post. Tanaka has truly crafted a gem that, at first glance, looks as if it is a metal gun. However, this detailed finish can easily deceive even the keen-eyed among us, as the revolver is made of high-quality heavyweight resin with zinc die-cast construct. Do not be fooled, though resin, nothing about this M36 can be considered "cheap" as it carries a fair amount of weight and when paired with an assortment of metal components, it certainly feels as if it's a metal gun.
Key features include a 2-inch barrel, a 5-shot cylinder chambered for .38 Special dummy rounds, and a J-frame design that mirrors the original revolver's compact and ergonomic profile with all the modernized bells and whistles. The Ver. 2 model boasts improved internal mechanisms for smoother operation and enhanced realism, making it ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate authentic details. Shooting the gun is a joy as the double action is smooth and direct, pulling the trigger slowly feels buttery with no "grit" feeling at all. When the hammer is pulled back, the trigger breaks softly and the sound of the cylinder rotating exemplifies the effort Tanaka put into making this revolver a standout. With its classic design and robust construction, the Tanaka S&W M36 'Performance Center' is a standout piece for those who value craftsmanship and historical significance but want something that is more modernized.
