Frankennine

Something I built quite a few years ago just to suit myself.

Very nice...that's how it should be...build them how you want them. Is that a 669 frame and what slide is on it?

It is essentially an early 39 slide on a 639 frame. This entailed eliminating the firing pin safety lever and fashioning a noninterfering spacer as a substitute for it. A 39 sear release lever then had to be thinned down so that it could be installed beside the spacer and function as it should. The photos are not quite as good as I would like, in that they make the frame appear as if it has been bead blasted, but in fact it still bears its original brushed and somewhat shiny finish on the sides.

The rear sight is from MMC. The barrel is teflon coated. The backstrap is a steel one for a Model 52, but I removed the protruding tab at its base. The hammer is from a compact version, but I don't recall precisely which one. I opted for a full barrel bushing. I'm thinking I might install a blued recoil spring guide (again, I've waffled on that).

This pistol has worn various stocks along the way, the oversized, finger groove design pictured being just the most recent, although they feel really good and probably aren't coming off anytime soon.
 
My only two S&W semi-autos so far,
I LOVE them and can't wait to get a 1006 and more

the 5906 was my first cartridge-firing handgun, cap n ball guns were all I owned before it was given to me from a great family member. The SW1911 was my first modern firearm purchase (all cap n ball before it), and it was NIB, I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and could hardly believe my eyes!
the SW1911 is ltd edition, 1 of 231

Here is a quick shot of my Smith "collection". The Model 59 had a hard life before I got it, but still shoots well. Owned the 659 since new and picked up the Model 41 years ago, had no idea what it was worth until recently. Love shooting it. Got others but not Smiths.
