Talk:Smith & Wesson 39
.38 Special
- Didn't they make this gun in .38 special too? I swear I've seen one before at a gunshow-S&Wshooter 05:08, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that was a modified target version with a longer barrel designated the model 52. -Anonymous
- I remember going to that show and then learning that so did my computer guy, who later told me he almost bought the .38 Model 39-S&Wshooter 21:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
39-2
What is the difference between the model 39 and the model 39-2? From the images it looks like the sights might be slightly different but I can't see any clear distinction.
Police handguns
Before the 90s were any American police officers issued with an M1911 or Smith & Wesson 39???
- The Illinois State police adopted the Model 39 in the late 60's making them one of the first U.S. law enforcement agencies to use auto pistols, but I think they replaced it after only a few years.
