Best Answer

Airweight was the name S & W gave to their early aluminum alloy frame handguns. I believe that they were all built on their "J" frame, hence the J prefix. If your handgun has an exposed hammer it is a Model 37 Chief Special Airweight, if the hammer is covered by a shroud it is a Model 38 Bodyguard Airweight. I believe that the model # should be visable by opening the the cylinder and looking at the point where the cylinder yoke indexes when the when closed.
