The Smith & Wesson Model 37 "Airweight" revolver is a five shot revolver that is identical to the Smith & Wesson Model 36 Chief's Special, save for the materials used in construction. Rather than steel the Model 37s' frame is made from lightweight aluminum, thus resulting in a considerably lighter firearm.

(Note: It is very difficult to differentiate between the S&W Model 37 and the all Steel Model 36. They are visually identical. The only way to be sure a revolver is the Model 37 is if there is a extreme closeup of the words "Airweight" on the right side of the barrel or it is described as such in the dialogue or text.)
