Originally made for export, there are supposed to be around 175 in the States. I was told some sold here only had the 9mm barrel. I know there are a few others on this board.




I have always maintained that this is the profile that S&W should have had with its 3rd Gen LE guns - people like 5 inch barrels on their autos because of the 1911. The original 39 was built with the 4 inch barrel because it was built in response to a post world war II idea to adopt the 9mm in a slightly smaller pistol than the 5 inch barreled 1911.
