Picture request: underside of 39, 39-2, 59 slide

[jdwhite2003]

Greetings,

I recently bought a replacement slide for my 39-2 from e-gunparts.com and it doesn't fit properly. I noticed a difference between my 39-2 and the slide I bought near the decocker. The rails are continuous on the 39-2 slide where the decocker is while the replacement slide has cutouts. The website said that the 39, 59, and 559 slides were interchangeable (assuming you take out the firing pin safety for the 559). Anyway, I was curious if any of you could post a picture of the underside of the slide so I can figure out which slide I purchased.

Thanks,
Jeff

Here you go. This is the underside of the slide of my Model 39-2, vintage of 1980. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I circled the difference between the slides. My replacement slide has those cut outs where the decocker is but my original slide does not have them. If you take out the decocker you notice the two square cutouts. When I try to cycle the gun the slide gets hung up and doesn't return to battery. My 39-2 is from the early 70s so there must have been a change in design.

Anyone else have pictures of a 39 slide or a 59 slide?

Thanks alot,
Jeff

How about photos of a 439 or 459 slide?

Thanks,
