S&w 39-2

Shoot it, but take care of it, do not use a copper remover on it, that will remove the nickle. In NIB condition and with the box and all the tools it would be a good keeper, but it makes a nice gun to shoot if not NIB. S&W was designing an Autoloader and they are great makers of DA triggers and it carried over to the 39.

The S&W 39-2 9m/m

Awe~! One of my all time favorite 9m/ms, that served well for many years.

I hope too add a blued model with an extra set of grips, and 2 extra magazines to the collection this week~!

And, what is the history of this weapon, was it originally designed as an alternative to the 1911?

Yes, they did submit it in the early 1950s. The 39-2 (the "-2" meaning a second iteration with improvements - e.g., a feed ramp dimensioned to feed hollowpoint ammo - over the original) was introduced in the late 1960s or early 70s, I think.

I would go ahead and shoot it, but in moderation and no +P ammo, which it was not designed for.

Update:

Yes, I did score the S&W model 39-2, with two extra magazines and a extra
set of grips; with S/N A661XXX, which puts it being manufactuered in 1981.
My cost for everything- $150 + tax OTD~! Stand by, as pics will follow soon.

Nice score, Ala Dan.

Just shoot it...



There's more where this one came from...all NIB when I picked them up...

Those nickle 39s are my gun porn for the evening.
