The .38/44 was an option for purchasers unwilling to pay the premium pricing of the new .357 Magnum revolvers. The .38/44 revolvers were available with either a blued or nickel-plated finish.
Like the Model 36 (Model 50), S&W produced a limited-production version with adjustable sights, the Model 60-1 Chief's Special Target. In 1996, the stronger J-Magnum frame was introduced and the cylinder was lengthened to support the .357 Magnum round, (as well as the .38 Special).
