First Look: Lipsey’s Exclusive S&W Field Ethos Model 36

If you like snubbies, you’ll want to check out the new Lipsey’s Exclusive Smith & Wesson Field Ethos Model 36.

Smith & Wesson has been releasing a lot of really cool distributor-exclusive revolver models lately, and the latest is this Field Ethos Model 36 from Lipsey’s. While Smith clearly didn’t cut any corners when it comes to this J-Frame’s form, it looks like it has plenty of function, too.

Chambered for .38 Special +P, the Field Ethos Model 36 has a 5-shot capacity, a 1.88-inch barrel and, thankfully, no lock on its side. It has a bobbed hammer, but its double-action only trigger pull should still be buttery smooth thanks to its Performance Center action job.

Other features of this Model 36 include a gold bead front sight/integral notch rear sight, a beautiful carbon blued finish on its cylinder and frame and a Tyler Gunworks premium walnut boot grip. The revolver also comes with the Field Ethos logo engraved on its side plate.

MSRP for the Lipsey’s Exclusive Smith & Wesson Field Ethos Model 36 is $1,100 and it’s available now.
