Funny....5 years ago people couldn't give 39-2's away. They were going in the 2-3 hundred range. Then a couple of years ago they got rediscovered and are now going in the 5-9 hundred range!!
paplinker...the model 52 internals (trigger) are nothing like the trigger on the 39-2. The pistols LOOK alike but are not. The 52 is a great target pistol - I don't own one because they only shoot .38 Special Wadcutter ammo.
