Please help me identify this revolver

[KIDRR]

I bought this back in the early 00's at Target Masters on a whim one day after shooting. It's .38 caliber, 5 shots, and a Smith and Wesson. I'm not sure of the exact model however. It kind of looks like a "Lady Smith" but it doesn't say that anywhere on it and as you can see from the pic has the gold trigger/hammer.

Thanks in advance for any info.

If you open the cylinder, is there a number etched into the frame or arm?

My guess is a chiefs special.. Open the cylinder, the model number should be stamped there. I beleive the chiefs is a model 36.

Ok good info so far. Opened it up and it was "058" on the arm and on the frame it says 36-10

Ok according to WIKI this is the S&W Model 36 "Gold" that was released in 2002. That must been when I bought it. Thanks for the help guys.

From the "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson".....

"In 2002 S&W reintroduced the Model 36 with gold features calling it the Model 36 Gold; the gold color was actually titanium titride on the hammer, thumbpiece, extractor rod and trigger. Has the internal key lock system. An S&W exclusive for TALO Distributing, Product Code 161491."
