Yep! I have known not do that (drop the slide on a round in the chamber) forever it seems, and have mentioned that to many people over the years. Also, I got a chance to shoot my 39-2 yesterday for the first time. I set up at 15 yards, from a rest (hands on bags, not the pistol). It shot a...

Hmmmm, gonna give that some thought. I will check their site for prices. Maybe there's hope for mine after all. Thanks!

Nice shooting! I almost took my two new 39's out today. But I had other things to get done first. I did clean off all of the original oils, though. It had congealed, it actually looked like a thin coating of dried up grease. Brown and tacky. It was all over both guns. Slides, barrels, frames...

Very nice! Congrats! I'm sure you'll love it.

Factory mags (as were original to the 39 and 39-2) are pretty rare. Used ones are out there, but I don't think that anyone makes them to the original spec's any more. I just ordered 4 of these... Smith & Wesson Mag S&W 39 439 539 639 909 952 3904 3906 3944 3946 9mm ...knowing that they are...

I just went through my box of holsters, looking for a good fit for my two new 39's. I found that anything made (I have a few customs) for the Glock 19 (or 23!) fits like a glove. I have since added a laser guard to my G19, so my original custom leather holsters no longer work with it. But, it is...

Very nice, and a great price for sure. I recently picked up my first two 39's.

I got my pics up on this forum. NOT as good as the OP's picture. I'm working on that though. http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-semi-auto-pistols/440759-date-manufacturer-model-39-a.html#post138665887

These two pistols haven't a mark on them, their finishes are perfect! I took them apart and found light assembly/dis assembly marks on the frame, very light marks on the slide and barrels where the bushings go on. Unbelievable!! The -2 has the heavy factory brownish grease on it yet! 39-1 39_2

Pics! Okay, my photography skills need help! I tried to get good pics :confused: But, here we go... 39- 39-2 Both

I had problems with my used 41 last year. The first attempt by S&W to correct the problem(s), was to send me a recoil spring...free. (It didn't correct the problems). It seems that the 41 is their flagship SA pistol. When I told them about the problems with my "used" pistol, they still sent me...

Sorry to hear about the problems. Did you buy a new 41 (new production and you are the original purchaser)? Or is it used? I bought a very lightly used, 1996 M41 and I had tons of problems. These happened after my initial 200-400 rounds.I sent it into S&W and the repaired the thumb safety. I...

Congrats!! I am picking up my two "new" 39's tomorrow. Well, one is a 39 and the other is a 39-2. Both are 95%-98%. I can't wait.:p

Well, I did it! Kind of. I called the LGS and paid for the 39 and the 39-2. I pick them up tomorrow. The 59 was gone, as was the model 28-2. I really wanted the 39's anyway. The 59 felt very large in my hand, which is very strange to me as I love the way my G21SF feels. Maybe it was just that...

Thanks! The 27-2 is not one of the trade guns. But the Luger could be, the pre 36 is for sure. I'm 99% decided on the Colt, 22 conversion unit, and the Remington Rand. I really have no use for them any longer. I had the Colt appraised back in 2010. I was told that if I didn't shoot it any more...

The 3 autos look to be 95%-100%, to my mostly untrained eye. But very, very , VERY good condition, at least. All four guns have s/n'd boxes. Correct s/n's at that! EDIT: Thanks, for the '68 date!

I've got a 27-2, 8 3/8" in a presentation case, never fired, papers and tools. I pd $700 for it 2 1/2 yr ago. I just can't bring myself to fire it. And I can't get rid of it...just yet. I have a line on a 4" 28-2 that has a painted front sight and you can tell it has been used, but gently. That...

It's a no-, s/n 87911. A local shop has one LNIB, no papers and only one mag, for $450. They also have a 39-2 LNIB, s/n A298899w/papers and two mags for $450 Also, a model 59 LNIB, s/n A541738 w/two mags and papers. Did any of these autos come with "tools"? And last, but not least, they have a...

Heck, my brother gave me an RC2 (EDIT: RS2) press, that he inherited from his father-in-law. It was bought back in 1983. When I got it, the handle was missing. I called RCBS to purchase one. Telling them that the press was given to me. They took all of my shipping info, after I asked "how much"...

A few months back, about the time ANY pistol powders started to show up, my gun club Pro Shop had several 4 lb, and five 8 lb jugs of either 231 or HP-38. I picked up 4 lbs of 231 ($88). I found out late, about all of it. Then, two weeks later, more came in. I grabbed 8 lbs of HP-38 for $162...
