My first pistol was a 39. Ended up selling it to my brother. Replaced it years later with another which was a former Illinois State Police issued one. The second one was eventually stolen. The first one was a real shooter and I always loved the alloy frame and felt like it was very balanced. For the record, the first one’s safety snapped in half and Smith & Wesson replaced it for free. S&W wanted to analyze the parts even though the pistol was way past them covering any repair. AND..... that was almost 30 years ago when it happened. I haven’t replaced it again mainly because of where the prices have gone. Both pistols had wooden grips.
