Bought my first 39 in 1978 or so. In the early 90s my ex sold it because I " never shot it" sigh. Now I have a better wife and 3 model 39s to make up for the one I lost, one in beautiful nkckel....love the 39s and will buy more....a used 59.......also have a 669, bought new in the mid 80s, which is a sweet shooter and a 4006 from CHiPs...heavy as a brick but a straight shooter...still keeping an eye out for another 39
