I'd look for a nice Colt Cobra/Agent-20% more ammo in an Airweight-sized package.
What was wrong with the M37?Colt Detective Special. I had a S&W model 37 and did not like it. With the Colt I get 6 shots vs. 5 and I shoot it better, which is the real answer.
I thought it might have been the weight, it is a very light gun being an Airweight. I carry a M442 which is the same weight as the M37 and I agree it's not fun at the range.May have been the weight. It was a pleasure to carry, I almost forgot it was there. But it was not fun to shoot. May have been my poor technique but the trigger guard would bump my trigger finger for every shot right on the knuckle. That hurt. It may also have been the older model, because I tried a new 637 at my range and it was fine. In looking at them, I could tell the older M37 had a smaller space inside the trigger guard. I guess I could have bought a newer airweight, but by that time I was in love ...with the DS.

I asked because if you liked the M37 but for the light weight you will probably really like the M36 which is the same revolver but in all Steel. It weighs a little more but enough to take the bit out of shooting it...
I also have a Colt DS and while it is easier on the hand when shooting it is just large enough to make pocket carry a little uncomfortable for me. It is a great shooter though and a really accurate revolver.
