Sorry to "necro" this thread, but I have the chance (I hope) to get a 39-2. I always wanted one and now I can get one in real nice shape for a reasonable price. Naturally, I have been concerned about the reports of ammo problems with them. But I think a trip to S&W would cure any problems I might encounter. I am a fan of 147 grain 9MM and I heard that is where problems might arise.
