I have a 39-2 and when I first bought it I had problems big time. FTFs about every 3rd round. I tried about everything I could think of then called S&W sometime in 1985. They said mine had been recalled. I sent the pistol to them and they put in a new barrel, barrel bushing, recoil spring, guide rod and tuned it. It came back about 6 weeks later and it has not had a failure to feed, eject since it came back. The recall was limited to a certain run. Mine is a blued version and I paid 350 for it back then. It has been an outstanding pistol since it came back. Although I am a fan of the 45acp and carry both a full size 1911 and a CS45, the 39-2 is such a nail driver that I dont feel under gunned when I carry it.
