The Performance Center enhancements are the centerpiece of this Model 637-2. Its action is tuned at the factory for a refined double-action and crisp single-action trigger, and the sideplate bears the Performance Center crest to denote this upgraded build.
The Airweight aluminum-alloy frame keeps carry weight low while pairing with a stainless-steel barrel and stainless-steel five-shot cylinder, all in a matte silver finish. The revolver uses the J-frame round-butt format with a micro size profile, delivering a compact footprint with an overall length of 6.31 in and an unloaded weight of 14.3 oz.
Sight picture is straightforward and durable: a serrated ramp front sight integral to the barrel and a fixed rear notch milled into the topstrap. The exposed, checkered spur hammer supports double-action/single-action operation, and an internal key lock is present.
Ergonomics and control are enhanced by wood boot grips with an S&W medallion and basket-weave texture. The yoke cut is marked Model 637-2, and this revolver is rated for .38 Special +P. It is a USA-made Performance Center revolver, cataloged under SKU/MFG Part Number 170349.
