The Tanaka S&W M37 J-Police Heavy Weight Ver.2 Model Gun (2-inch) is a highly detailed replica of the Smith & Wesson Model 37 revolver, imitating the same standard-issued pistol of the Japanese National Police Agency. This model gun is constructed with heavyweight materials, providing a realistic weight and feel. It features a compact 2-inch barrel, making it a faithful reproduction of the original snub-nose revolver.
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 M37 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, and a J-frame design that mirrors the original revolver's compact and ergonomic profile, with a rubber grip for comfortable handling, and a lanyard ring at the base of the grip, as seen on the police-issued version. As a product of Tanaka's, the revolver offers smooth trigger operation and realistic functionality with a version 2 revision that improves the cylinder action and authentic engravings for added realism.
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 soft and the sound of the cylinder rotating exemplifies the effort Tanaka put in to make this revolver a standout. This model gun is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and historical significance of the S&W M37.
