Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons details two Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers used by Japanese police: the 37-2 and 360J. He highlights specific Japanese market modifications, such as the removal of the 'nuclear atom' logo on the 360J due to cultural insensitivity and the addition of extended three-finger grips with lanyard loops for enhanced control and retention. The 360J is chambered in .38 Special +P, while the 37-2 is in .38 Special.
