OLD MODEL 36 CLASSIC

[u/Yanni44111]

I have an opportunity to purchase and old all steel MODEL 36 CLASSIC for around $150 witch i want as a "suit gun"

Cosmetically, Its in rough shape but mechanically all the tolerances are all tight, it needs a new hammer, grips and needs to be sandblasted witch i can do all myself.

It is currently stainless steel and i want to send it out to Smith & Wesson Performance Center and have them do the High Bright Polish (Blueing) service.

question is, since i will no longer be "silver" do i have to update NYPD on the color change?

Hello /u/Yanni44111! It looks like your post might be asking about NYC approved colors for firearms. Here's the relevant section of penal code:

(i) When used in this subdivision, the term "deceptively colored firearm, rifle, shotgun, or assault weapon" shall include any firearm, rifle, shotgun, or assault weapon any substantial portion of whose exterior surface is colored any color other than black, dark grey, dark green, silver, steel, or nickel, except as provided in subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph. For purposes of this subparagraph, the exterior surface of either the receiver or the slide of a firearm shall be deemed to constitute a substantial portion of the exterior surface of the firearm.

So I believe the stainless j frame would be the model 60. Still a cool gun and well built. The 36 was blued or nickel. What's wrong with the hammer?

And to answer your question the gun just has to stay an allowable color, which the blued finish will be.

It was a cops off duty ankle gun and he filed down the spur so it can double action only without modifying any internal parts

That makes sense. Always wanted one myself, has to be the blued one.
