Long time 3rd gen owner here but newer 1st gen owner with two 39-2's...both early 70's. I have to say I not only love the look and feel of the 39's but I also find them easier to shoot well...my best groups come from my 39's and 1911's. That's no surprise though as the 39 was designed to feel like a 1911 in the hand and has a very nice SA trigger.
