Up for sale is a nice "shooter grade" Nickel Model 39-2 with blued controls. Serial appears to date it to late 1979 from what I can find on the forum here. ***SPF to SirHRmechanic*** Asking $450 + actual shipping up to $40. My FFL seems to get stuff out the door for near $40, so I'll absorb...

Given the latest pics, how am I on price?

If I don't get any nibbles, I'll post here too. Locally is Denver area.

The "ugly"... Damn Pachmayrs (see previous post)

Thoughts on value? Was thinking of listing at $450 locally.

Alright, this was the best I could do in terms of cleanup.

Very neat! I think my family member got his 39-2 at a pawnshop, no sign of original packaging remains for the MMC sight. On another note, took grips off last night... As expected, several spots of corrosion under the pachmayrs. I'm a little bummed. Otherwise I think the exterior will clean up...

Thanks guys, appreciate the info!

Cleaning up a Model 39-2 for a family member, did some research here on the forum. Looks like a late '79 nickel Model 39-2 with blue controls, Pachmayr grips, serial number A525XXX. Two original mags. I could have sworn I saw this box for this in the safe a few years ago, but he couldn't produce...

Sounds like a letter is in order! Thanks again.

Thanks for the info! On another forum, one guy says the 3" Mod 60 is pretty uncommon. Can anyone here expound on that?

Thanks guys!

Greetings... just acquired this Mod 60 (no dash) 3" with serial number "BAD0506" in a multi-gun trade. I asked for an extra $200, he threw this in instead on the condition I give him dibs if I ever go to sell it. This is my first S&W revolver, so I have read the sticky and know some basics now...

Hi guys, I have been an avid Colt collector for a couple of years now, and have always listened to my Uncle (retired LEO) praise S&W and bag on Colt revolvers. Recently acquired a Mod 60 (no dash) 3", so thought I would come here to get some info on it and start to immerse myself in the world...
