Hey Ya'll...I'm new to the forum and wanted to trouble you all with a question or two. I'm a 57 year old heavy equipment salesman who's owned guns all my life. I've got a few revolvers, a 39-2, a Colt 70 series Commander, a SW40VE and just ordered 2 of Summit's 5906 trade ins. After reading here and trying to gather as much knowledge as possible I still have a question or two.
1. Is there an on-line site where I can get a history lesson on S&W? The difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation?
2. Is there any rhyme or reason to the designation numbers? What's different on my 39-2 from a 39?
Thanks in advance.
