Oldman10mm,

The mag I recently bought from you had one of the very desirable (IMHO, at least) early stamped steel followers, but of course it works splendidly in my 639 Franken-Smith. It seems almost all of the full size single stack mags interchange well

Anyway, I’m curious to know whether they continued using the steel followers into the 39-2 or not. I’ve only seen a few of them on 39s and some on 38 AMU or 38 Spl mags from Model 52s. As you have been collecting mags, have you also been collecting info on the “when’s” and the “which models?“. I bet the S&W Collectors’ Association would benefit from a definitive article on the many magazines and their variations found through Generations One through Three. Are you including the Model 52 mags in your collection as well?

Best regards,
Froggie
